I jumped my stang!!!

90dpscoupe · 01-27-2001, 01:27 AM

Man, i hope i didnt screw up my car, i was cruisin home from the track, (ran a 14.1

)
i was going about 50 on a back road, when a stop sighn comes up too quick, i just went straight through it, my car hit a dip and then did a dukes of hazzard over the road, and i heard it bottom out hard

, i heard the exhaust or something drag, and clank, but the noise stopped?, then i pulled over to the first lighted store, and couldnt find anything that looked damaged, except the front of the frame had some asphalt marks on it.

My h-pipe looks like it might be hanging lower, but never really knew how it was before, Does anyone think it could be damaged, you know how it is, im stressed

The alighnment doesnt seem like it's off anymore than it was, my car is a old police so it has reinforced floorpans, could this prevent damage? i think the rear sway bar drugg pretty hard though, but a shock or srtut could be replaced. What you guys think? how tough are mustang suspension??

LOL I jumped my stang the other night too... Racin another stang goin about 60 and hit a RR crossing, and FLEW through the air.. he slammed on his brakes though and I wasn't paying attention!! I slammed to the earth in a shower of sparks..

But I got under it and besides the scratches (the flowmasters are pretty tough!) It looks and rides ok!

Good luck!

I cleared a 4 lane road with my Mustang II once. No damage that wasn't there before.

I doubt you did anything at all to it, maybe polished up your H-pipe.

Sorry to hear that joe, glad you didnt crash, but i feel better now, i guess these stangs are pretty tough.

Fastang i was at the track, but intending to just spectate,"mustang vs camaro" but the temptation was too much, i started making passes, and got a 2.0 60' too

, my new time was on 103 gas though, just mixed a gallon, im kinda worried though because my car still pinged a little beetween shifts? prolly the plugs.

So my subframes are not in yet, and my sway bar was still intact, gonna have to come off after the airborne move i did last night, cuz i think it's out of wack a bit.

O and besides the 7 second camaro that was there (not street legal of course) the fastest car there (street legal), was a 9 sec fox body

it was wicked....thnx guys
