I am thinking of making a 68 Fastback Mustang a drift car. first i'd need to do alot to the suspension, so i'd get a complete coilover kit from Total Control Products up front, and thier rear coilover kit in the back. I'd also put in thier subframe connectors and tower braces for more chassis stiffness. I would probably switch out the stock steering for a rack and pinion system for better feel and response. Then for power i'd drop a 351W crate motor which pumps out about 400hp. I get a nice 2-way lsd, tune the suspension and i think it would be a pretty good set up. The only other problem is wieght. I have found fiberglass hoods and trunklids, but i would like to find a sponsor to make some carbon fiber doors, hood, and trunklid to really cut some extra pounds. then for wheels and tires i'd run some pretty wide tires on 16 or 17 inch rims, since it needs good grip to keep all that wieght on the road, but still has the power to break it loose (gotta love torque)
It would cost a good bit, so i'd need some sponsorship, but i think it would work. What is your guys' opinion?
