Re: Let's See Some Pics of the 757 Rides
It handles really well actually. I had a nice set of used 245 Hoosiers for the track, and I've done a good bit to the suspension and driveline to improve it's handling.The problem with the car on the track is in two places.
1) I need to get 5th gear changed to something useful on a track. I was sitting at 110mph every strait because I couldn't even consider acceleration in 5th gear. (It wouldn't hurt to have more than a stock 95 Mustang engine)
2) It's a body on frame design, and the body mounts are all but disintegrated, and are an obsolete part. But I've got plans for a poly mount kit that I've got ready when I get the motivation to do it.
tie_fitr, not sure if you were joking or not, but the side shot is from a drift event at Pungo.

Re: Let's See Some Pics of the 757 Rides
I have two rides. I poured my heart and sole into the 86 Crown Vic over the last 7 years, and the 73 Celica is my new project/ track car (for about a year now). I used to use the Vic as my track car, but the Celica is faster and cheaper to use on the track. I do still enjoy drifting in the Vic though.

Here's my turd:
My first autocross about a year ago, that got me hooked on turning:
Day 1 of my first ever HPDE:
Day 2 of my first ever HPDE:
"We can rebuild it. Make it stronger, faster, more powerful than before."

Oh it crunched the car. The frame rails were bent to the drivers side there in front of the strut towers. The good thing is it was only in front of the strut towers. I got the frame rails straightened, new bodywork and lights, and its all good to go now.
