probably not 10's in the quarter but i'd guess 13 or 14's it use to have a 4 cylinder that topped out at 60 and now it'll do well above that

Yes, specs and numbers would be great! :D

That last shot is nice. I like the motion of the rear wheels coupled with the billowing smoke from the tires. A great sense of motion on the capture.

yah it's hard to say what the power is at probably 250 or so the original motor was a 2.3l emission friendly motor, yah tires are in the works as well as a suspension upgrade cause the current one is sloppy, probably posi and new rear end.

Nice looking Ford. Why do you call it a sleeper? I was expecting to see a big diesel truck. :)

Looks like someone has money to burn in tires.

PS - The S3 takes nice photos. The brake lights show in the smoke. Good work.

Nice shots, LOVE the burnout session. :D
I love sleepers too. For those that dont know what a "Sleeper" is, it's a car that goes a LOT faster than it looks. ;)Just finished my brothers ford fairmont it's the greatest sleeper ever only weighs 2800lbs.2800 lbs? That IS light! My 71 Vega with a 327 and turbo 350 trans weighed 2700 and some change, and that was a small car. ;)
