That yellow one defies gravity! LOL. Just kidding, but those are great pics. The 19" premium wheels look great on the DIB, do not like them on Magnetic however.

I grabbed a few pictures of the suspension components from the Guard GT Convertible that was on the rotisserie stand on Mustang Alley.

We had a very interesting tour with a gentleman at Watson Engineering/Racing at their shop on Friday.

Here are a few highlights.

- The front suspension will need some help for road racing, providing Watson with opportunity for sale of aftermarket components.

- The IRS will be very capable for most drag racing applications.

- Watson has done some dyno testing with the Ecoboost I4 and were amazed at the power it produced with a bit of tuning. No comment on how much power.

- No we could not see what was behind the curtained-off area.

- SVT GT350R and GT350S - No comment.

- FPC - No comment.

Is it just me or do some of those links look a bit on the frail side??? Also, it could probably benefit from some aftermarket stainless steel brake lines for improved stopping response and feel.

The thin front control arms are steel and look beefy enough. They need to be able to absorb impact damage to prevent transfer of crash energy to the rest of the car. The major rear IRS link looks like a nice solid piece of aluminum and shouldn't be any worry.

I was not able to attend the Friday night "Mustang Heroes Banquet", but I hear it was outstanding with lots of great speakers and comments.
Did anyone here attend?
Any details on comments?

One thing someone told me was that someone said something like "the 707HP Hellcat does not worry Ford".

I'll be posting a thread on that banquet. It was excellent.
