which chassis is better suited to drag racing ,FC or FD.which one would most likely cut a better 60' on stock style suspension geometery?ive never driven a FD b4 so i cant have an opinion on the subject.

thanx,

My guess that with stock suspension geometry, an FB would be the best. Light. Cheap. Solid rear axle. What else could you ask for?

 

Not that you would use the stock axle. But the stock geometry, ie: four-link mit ein solid axle.

 

FC and FD both suck.
The IRS becomes a handicap with high power levels.
The FC does camber in pretty badly with lots of squat, which implies the FD rear should do better for traction.

I'm with him. FB would be my choice put a Ford 9in rearend in it with 4.88 gears launch off the rev limiter and see what 60ft's you can get. My personnel choice though is a Datsun 1200 I love my little car.

 

FD's have a stifffer chassis then FC's
I'm my opinion that is the best chassis if your building a street drag car
to race in the NHRA or Nopi "street" class

I have cut 1.48 60' on near stock suspension/chassis (only had KYB AGX's in the rear)
on my FC

car squats like crazy
(working on stiffening my suspension and chassis now)

Ari and Karl martin have run low (Ari 9.1 1/4 mile) to mid 9's(Karl Martin) on stock tranny and IRS
faster then any FB has with a TII tranny

 

In street class is prohibited to use nitro or not ?
