I hope everyone was ok. I'm surprised after seeing how forgiving these cars are at the track attack. It's hard to get sideways in these cars unless you do something really stupid.

I'm interested in hearing more about what happened.

Thanks for the post

just needs an oil change
The owner of that car obviously used Motorcraft oil. If only he'd used Amsoil he'd have won the Indy 500 while getting a roadie from 1997 Jennifer Anniston.

Exactly my thoughts a few seconds after seeing the pics. I got some over/under steer a few times at the attack but at no time did I feel like I had lost control of the car or would leave the track.

There is about 4 lost already.. The totaled gt350 that was auctioned, the crispy triple yellow from the track, another white with blue stripes totaled on IG and now this one.

I can see it. Mine really wants you chuck you in the ditch if you hit a heavy cambered surface. Parts of the interstate are pretty dangerous when you get it jumping left and right in the trenches from heavy trucks.

Also I've been getting some weird skipping from the front end, feels like the soft springs of the base can't deal with the amount of tire it has. Its only been doing it now that temps are higher. 60 and lower its got much less grip than 80 out.

Then, its too easy to put it into "race" mode where the car wont save you. Enough torque at low speeds to CarsNCoffee your GT350 even with the normal mode if you are enough of an idiot, but in race... Ditch seeking missile with the typical idiot.

I think it's a two car accident. Maybe the owner of that poor GT350 is not at fault.

Just saying.

Maybe magnaride is the difference but I drive country roads literally custom made for tramlinine training. big ass trucks use it to the point it is resurfaced every 2-3 years. It is the main construction route for the county road work. it is a bit of work but never feels like ditch material. Perhaps the R springs and sway bar links should be in your future.

ALL v8 mustangs use the same sway bar end links front and rear. Including the GT350 base, tech, track and R. But after a lot of research and working with my dealer I found out the difference. The shit on the web and owners manual keeps saying the sway bar "arms / links" are 5/16" shorter. And all the dealers keep telling me all the mustangs use the same link part number. The R has a shorter sway bar. The links are the same. I paid $43.00 for the sway bar.

Happened leaving a car show? The safest way for a Mustang to leave a car show is on a trailer.
