How feasible would it be to take let's say a base model

No, do you know anything about curb weight?

>>17549365
It's only 300lbs heavier than a Mustang GT

Why start there when you can start with a base V8 Moostang? Now if you're dirt racing, there's the Raptor.

>>17549378
Oh yeah, I forgot about that

>>17549362
You could make a skid car, with the weight distribution you will need to add considerable ballast to the bed to make it grip. I have a modified mini and used to have a chevy street truck, sideways on braking, sideways under throttle, lifting inside rea wheel, neverending wheelspin. Fun, but not fast in any way, I bet a rental spec fiesta could walk a stock f150 at the track.

5 grand isn't going to get you jack shit. Sure, you can siffen up the handling and make it a bit tighter, but shit like that isn't even very common for the ferds.


Fuck, a suspension setup from someone like Ridetech for a 67-72 or 73-87 Chevy runs about $9000 to get it lowered and all new suspension and a four link.

This is why four links and panhard bars are a thing, setup correctly they transfer weight to the rear to maintain traction.

Yes, linkage wizardry is going to correct the 70/30 weight bias of a truck.

Where's AutoRXaTruck when you need him?

Not very feasible. Body roll and the body/frame design play too much of a factor to compete with other track cars that are initially built for track racing or racing in general. Obvious Ex: Porsche, Subaru, Nissan Z etc.

I mean, you could get it to run the same time but after a lot more money towards mods vs. the brand's I just named.

In my opinion, get a Porsche and mod that out. Or a car built for that purpose.

That's a tube chassis with a truck silhouette draped over the top.

>>17549578
lol

>hey /o/ can i make my clist f150 a track car?

>no just buy a porsche anon!

>oh okay i hadnt thought of that!

No because it's not a performance oriented platform. Just because it has MUH VEE AYTE doesn't mean shit. You'd have to tune it, completely redo the suspension, swap the transmission and rear end, strip it for weight, now you're out at least $50k overall and you're getting walked by a miata with boltons

On a track a $5k Civic or Integra build would run circles around you, and no, I'm not kidding. A truck is a shit platform for track driving and nothing you do will change that.

>>17549893
$30k for a used Cayman in good condition or $32k for OPs F150 with $5k in mods, which will be faster I wonder?
