Brake harder! :) ABS is your friend. It's a gentle reminder to back off the brake pedal ever so slightly, but it definitely should be engaged, often, while autocrossing! :) The 6 pots on my car will generate over 1.3g in braking on Lincoln's concrete which I think is dang impressive but it...

That "lack" of low end torque is mostly in your head and doesn't translate very well into real world performance. The 0-30, 0-45 and 0-60 times are all in the GT's favor and that's PP to PP. Curb weight as tested: EB 3,656 GT 3,796 0-30 (sec.): EB 2.2 GT 2.1 0-45 (sec.): EB 3.9...

Yes, I have, and I'd highly recommend renting one from a parts store rather than buying one. If you do things right the first time (shocks/struts, springs, camber plates or new strut mounts) you can swap whole for whole with like a dozen bolts. Far easier than dicking with compressing the...

As a police officer, I can tell you that you are 100% wrong. When I am running traffic, I don't look for "what stands out in the crowd" as in car description, I look for "what stands out in the crowd" as far as traffic violations. I don't give one cent if it's a red Lambo or a beige soccermom...

I used a 5mm spacer as well but not because of tire clearance issues. I used them to help widen the front track to balance out some of the 1.7" wider rear track. What "help" this has is probably minimal but it makes me feel better! ;)

The biggest thing my co-driver and I noticed was heat management. We aren't beating the crap out of the 285's nearly as bad as we were the 275's. The 275's would overheat on a single run with both of us driving and no amount of tire spraying would ever solve that problem because it was the...

Mine was like the first picture and it took a considerable amount of force (relatively) to get it back up to the top as if the line was too short or something. I've added this to my checklist of stuff to check before each autocross event.... also going to add the oil "cooler" (heater) lines too...

Ground Control does not use off the shelf Koni's for their Coilovers however their "Perches Only" kits are based around Koni housings. Every single Ground Control Complete Coilover package is going to come with custom valved Koni's based around the Koni Yellow shock body but custom valved to...

This. Two causes: First is not pressing and holding the brake down when turning AdvanceTrac off and the second is from turning it off too soon. Generally speaking I can turn the car on when given the 5 car warning, then by the time I get up to the start line turn it off and have it stay off...

There is only one competitive tire offering 20" sizes and that is the RE71R with a max width of 295... It may seem petty, but I'd rather have the 10mm of tire and deal with the slight possibility of shifting to third every now and then. The 305 wide RE71R and RS4 are 305/30/19's so 26" tall...

Static basically covered it. The 15-17 GT/PP is already an also ran with the 6th Gen Camaros (and even the 5th Gen 1LE which can comfortably stuff 305's at all four corners) and the E46 and E90/E92 M3's in the class. The 2018 GT/PP is getting more attention to it's suspension, more attention...

I do run in F-Street in spite of what my avatar says. My avatar is from my 2009 Mustang GT that I ran in STX and then STU back before STP was a thing! ;) I th ink the GT/PP is on it's last legs. With the changes coming to the next year Mustang with regards to the powertrain and suspension...

If South Carolina wasn't half the US away, I'd show up! Love challenges like this and love meeting Camaro owners! :) The Nebraska Region has a good mix of Mustangs and Camaros and every event we have a good competition going in F-Street between my 2015, a 6th Gen, a Shelby GT (the 4.6L powered...

There were two things I did not like about my stock 2015 GT/PP: first was damping, second was overall balance. The first one was fixed easily with the Koni's. MASSIVE difference and totally worth the cost. The later was fixed not with the rear bar, but with the front bar. My car was...

This! Control the springs you have first then get the swaybars. Doing both is always a prudent move, but the stock shocks and struts suck so bad that they barely deserve the title!

I absolutely am. 285's at all four corners on factory PP wheels. When it comes to building a car for handling you start at the ground and work your way up through the suspension. What I mean is, get the tires you are going to be on and square them up at all four corners. This is the...

I guess I'm an odd duck... I found the factory setup to be quite neutral handling on the bigger Nationals style courses I'm used to. So much so that I actually ran a front bar and more negative camber out back on an F-Street car before stock bars and front bars became the cool kid thing to do...

Because it unbalances the car's handling characteristics and requires half arsed "engineered" solutions that don't work. The front suspension on these cars is a perfect example of that. It's a great setup. It's what BMW uses on their cars and they handle well (and so does the Mustang when you...

Ford really needs to give up on staggered ANYTHING wheel setups. If you can't design the wheel arches to make the front wheel diameter look good in the back then stop designing wheel arches and design cup holders or something less complex. Staggered wheel setups should have died ages ago...

If you do ANY form of aggressive driving, you wont notice tire wear at all. I have run far more negative camber than that on the street and still end up destroying outer shoulders faster than inner shoulders up front and out back. I run -2.0 up front and -2.2 out back on my car and not by...
