WIDE Autocross Foxbody Mustang! - Mike Trenkle's 82 - In The Paddock Ep. 9

[@AGBULLIT]

I love the rear suspension, wide body and carbon fiber interior.

[@Stainlessslayer]

Met him at good guys in Des Moines couple years ago. Hes a cool enough guy. Car is amazing👌

[@genemounce8302]

Dang... still has the factory 82 tails too ! I'm a huge fan of the Fox Mustangs and I own a few but I'da squared off the flares to match the rest of the body.... personal preference. :)

[@BasinMotorsports]

I've seen plenty of pictures of his car, but it's nice to see it in video and hear it clear the pipes.

[@joellikness2121]

How you know you're at an Optima event: 550 whp is underpowered. 😂 I got to meet Mike and Kelley and see this thing in action at CAM Challenge this year. Amazing car, amazing people!! Keep the videos coming!

[@chrisrandich6301]

Badass build!

[@johnkropp3793]

Sick foxbody, love the Colorado connection!!!

[@PhilthyHorseRacing]

That's a hella neat car. I've talked to him a couple of times over several Optima at PPIR

[@wheelsmcfury4086]

Awesome Foxbody! Thanks for the video :)

[@Joshua-uw7wm]

Love it

[@pauljackson1622]

I'd like to do this build but with a 2.3 turbo Lima. Would make a great hill climb car

[@CanIbeFrank]

Is there any way I can get in touch with the owner? I'm building an SN95 and this car is my inspiration. A track car with a lot of Ford power

One of those cones in the slolom was out of its box.

[@AutoXandTrack]

Yep. For a good part of the day too. It’s like that in a bunch of different course laps I filmed.

[@Roller_ae86]

@@AutoXandTrack you can see he really had to move the car to get around it. It's a cool car I had the chance to autox with it, middle of the summer at NCM. But yeah, thanks for the vid of the car, I didn't realize it had push rod suspension out back.

[@travisfadness1208]

A Mustang can only. be beaten by another Mustang !! ( Words of the Wise !)

[@mchristr]

It's so difficult to make attractive flares for a Fox Mustang. The owner did a nice job of obscuring the bulges with horizontal striping.

[@coryholbrook4643]

Ok glad to hear there’s a real (space or lack thereof) reason for doing the cantilever setup. I saw that in the intro and first thought was “Again?” That style suspension only serves one real purpose. It was cool and unique several years ago but now everyone who just wants to throw a lot of money at a car and have it stick is doing it. Like so many automotive frills it’s been done to death and lost it’s luster. It’s become the hipster beanie of cars. Trendy and pretentious, not serving any necessary function that couldn’t be handled more conventionally.

[@femurphy77]

Kind of wondered about that myself. Sure it's "cool" but is it "necessary" or can the same results be accomplished elsewhere?

[@mikehunt9894]

Dat blue camaro doe....

[@CharmingHostilities]

That terrible spelling, though.

[@joeseptien2182]

Where can I see more of this car

[@AutoXandTrack]

[@loganb7339]

Presenter reminds me of Aaron eckhart

[@mycellcellphone7774]

How do i contact mike trinkle

[@AutoXandTrack]

I suggest sending him a DM on Instagram.

[@p0intdk]

Is he going to sell those flares? 👀

[@AutoXandTrack]

I asked him and he said most likely not. It’s so labor intensive he doesn’t want to do it lol.

[@tbone707]

I blame Kelly

[@paulallegrezza9266]

Blaming the wife on camera... hope you didn't sleep on the couch for that one! XD

[@supersevenn]

nice car. when his wife gets a real coach she will be muchy faster than him

[@vicchavez6570]

Nice but the paint,idk

[@CharmingHostilities]

His car, his choice. Your opinion doesn't matter.
