In general what do you thing the Terminal Velociti is before the rear lifts on pan cars, one main factor is would this make a difference in drag racing where I hit 57mph and potential 70mph runs.

Not much at all, how fast or hard do you have pull a plastic bag to fill it?

I think you are well over the speeds that would induce lift. The plastic bag quote is accurate.

I'm partial to the old school look of a full antenna, but regardless I love your build with all the old school touches, especially the pink straps with the fiberglass, and the gold wheels, nice!

I think I’m going to run this body for the drag setup I think it’s pretty aerodynamic, the nascar lumina body will be for street duty.

That body has a lot of downforce. I love the shape of it though and the colors :mrgreen:

What size pure tech straps did you end up going with? I see you bought that awesome body off eBay! Looks amazing on there!

4” was to big my mistake maybe a 2.5-3” would be better so I just found some new pink vintage straps but they are for old style saddlepacks tight fit.

The body was a score definitely

tires I just try and find whatever I can with or without wheels, I would like some rubber capped tires too.
