And all they wanna do is drag race and street race! What a waste of a great handling car! You people have no idea of the potential a Mustang has!

[ReverendDexter]

Yeah, maybe after $2k worth of suspension they're a great handling car.

We're in the minority, man.

there are 2 fun turns i take on my way to school: one i can take at 50 as long as i can get out wide enough and apex right, and as longs as its a green light. and the second is going in the school parking lot. i got in trouble with the latter, so now its down to 1

only time ive done autox was with my dad's cobra at VIR

Your sixxer would be a great autocrosser. You've got less weight than a GT or Cobra, and it's all off the right end. That means you've got better weight balance, braking, and handling, assuming you're on the same set of tires. Plus, the S197 has much better stock rear suspension than us fox-platform guys.

+1

Put bigger brakes on it, and make some ducts to keep them cool, and start tuning the suspension, and you'll out handle any V-8 car here.



How about a MM Road Race crew?

I meant as a baseline, they're a great handling car. Meaning, they can't get worse...

I think we might be able to squeeze out enough members if it was just a handling/corners/conehead crew. You're the only one I know of that actually road races; I just have aspirations and empty pockets.

[fairlane_68]

OK...MM Corner Carvers Crew?

[ReverendDexter]

I'm on board... do we have to do anything to make it official, or just put something in our sigs?

hellifIknow...I always thought there was a secret handshake or something.

[fairlane_68]

I did it...the "announcement" is in the Clubhouse.

[WilltheThrill]

hey nigga, dont talk shit about people you dont know





i use mine for drag and corner carving. we dont go as much as we used to but me and some of my friends do canyon runs(roads with alot of sharp turns)

and if i land this civilian job, im gonna try out a track day at the road course near my house, willow springs raceway.

[fairlane_68]

oh yeah. Canyon roads are my favorite outside of a track. My current car won't be streetworthy much longer though.

i love carving corners with my buddy in his is300. what suspension upgrades would you recommend so I can (somewhat) keep up with him? (i am on a poor college student, so i can't get anything too extreme)

Bigger better brakes. Drilled and slotted rotors, quality made (not the knockoffs they sell on Ebay), and high quality pads. Then flush out your stock brake fluid and replace it with brake fluid with a boiling point of at least 550 degrees. Brakes are no good if they don't stay cool. Also consider removing your fog/driving lights and using the hole as a brake duct intake...but that's a little more extreme than some folks want to go. All that is a good weekend project.

Once your brakes are dialed in, chassis and suspension are next. Stiffer springs, lower stance, stiffer sway bars and adjustable shocks/struts are all good parts to add, but make repairs first. Tie rods (TRE), ball joints, wheel bearings, and steering rack are things that get punished the most when taking corners. Polyurethane bushings and greasable ball joints and TRE's make it more durable.

And I assume you already know about subframe connectors...

[07stanggt]

Let me in your crew. Im going to summitt point next friday and nov 7. looking forward to it with all my new mods. different car since the last time i was there.

[fairlane_68]

Ooh...Summit Point. Nice track from what I've heard. Welcome to the crew!

Get some good pics when you go.

Yea its 3 tracks actually. On the 24th ill be on the shenendoah circuit which is the newest. Suppose to be one of the most technical tracks in the U.S. its fun, i have done that circuit before. then on the 7th ill be on the summitt track. longer straights, wider turns, should be interesting.

Just got a arms with rod ends that really tightened up the wheel and the k member. not to mention 40 more horsepower since the last time.

[fairlane_68]

You got any in-car video gear?
