    Oh NO! The one I saw with in Orlando at the cruise night is no more???? It was a clean machine...

    Gapp-Roush raced a 4 door in Pro Stock.. Longer wheel base helped it launch... Sure you're crazy:rofl2:, but the car is cool.

    Actually the reason why they ran the 4 door was to get around a weight break rule based on cubes and wheelbase. It is the same reason why Dyno Don stepped back a few model years and started running a 70 Mustang after his Mav. The Glidden and Allen team did the same thing with a 70 Mustang for a short while. The two door Mav wheelbase was a couple inches short of the weight break. The four door Mav could race at a lighter weight.

    Go ahead and do it. There's plenty of 2-doors done right. They need some 4-doors to be next to them.
