Rallycrossing a RWD, nose heavy, V8 equipped, 45 year old chassis?

Doable or embarassment?

A reminder - the 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint was a thing. That existed. It was built to be a rally car. over 50 years ago. You're fine.

as you can see from the responses, its more of an embarrassment to NOT do it.

What car from '69 were you thinking?

Hey, that 442's V8 was all-aluminum with survival parts in the trunk, so a little more balanced.... but still awesome.

And that GTO is naturally inspirational.

My cousin actually drives one of the V8 Falcons as a daily driver.... winters and everything. Now I need some steelies though

I love that picture, it's a dream to do that to a 1st gen coupe one day. Now to find the right springs because stock cannot be good enough for hot laps in dirt.

Honestly, that's how I drive when karting and GT5/Forza 3-ing.

=D

Fast in, hard brake, struggle with locked wheels, slow turn, the turn's exit becomes the quarter mile

what 45 yr old v8 RWD vehicle are you taking there?

I have a 1970 Mustang Sportsroof with a 302 and bracing from its ex-drag car days.

I just don't want to piss off the peeps with the Subarus and EVOs and stuff trying to have a serious time of it.

I believe so, I don't know about the Suburu-ists with their AWD seriousness would take kindly if I'm getting stuck every other turn >_>

The '70 Mustang would be the best choice I think, since the grille bracing and cross-pan-underseat-between-framerail braces from it's drag car days is mostly in place.

Understood and that's mighty considerate of you. Some folks however take themselves just a bit too seriously. I've autocrossed a worn-out slant six Duster automatic on horrible tires for the fun of it and there was always that one guy that would complain I was just wasting the region's time. Everybody else though seemed to have no problem with it and some thought it was just hilarious.
