So, I found out why my car was not selling. I have had a few people show considerable interest in it, but once I gave the VIN they pretty much ghosted me. I took it to a dealer to trade it in on a truck Saturday and when they ran the CarFax, it showed "significant exterior damage". It was...
I really do not want to cut the hood of my Mach 1 and the track I go to doesn't allow me to get to speeds where I've noticed hood flutter, but the Race Louvers on my other track car (2019 GTI) 100% have helped with temps. If I come across a FJG hood for sale, I may cut into it and use it for...
If you track the car and E85 is abundant in your area, then yes, it is 100% worth it. On top of adding a few ponies to your car, it does help with CHTs while revving to 7k+.
Your gas mileage will suffer. And that is being polite. I get about 12mpg mixed city/hwy with my Mach 1. YMMV (pun...
Exactly! I am not ready to go cutting up my Mach 1 yet, but deleting this stuff would definitely be like Mounjaro for our cars.
I thought about gutting my 16GT but I really don't need 3 track cars.
I haven't had a chance to take it on the street yet. We had a mini-monsoon in OKC yesterday morning. I will definitely update after my next track weekend.
I finally got around to installing the Steeda Competition FSB/RSB and Dual Rate Magneride Springs.
Tip if you decide to do this: do the FSB while the passenger side strut assembly is out. Makes the job 1000000% easier.....like I never had to drop an F bomb and had the stock out and the new...
Ya, this 100% depends on how hard you push/brake the car. Personally, I do not think the R8 is enough for this 3800lb pig. If you do want to use the R8, you are more than fine driving to the track with them. I would bring your stock pads and a caliper compressor just in case you burn through...
A little taste of HPDE. I wasn't going 10/10 because the track has a hard rule where if you spin, lose control, or go off track with a passenger then you are done for the day. Also, I think it is time for long tube headers.

This will make your life so much easier when changing oil. Yes, it takes a bit more time to drain, but you can rotate tires or do other maintenance during that time. Also, you wont...
Agree. The Mustang is no longer a "pony car" and far more of a muscle car. Unfortunately those who track Mustangs are in the minority. Most people feel safer with a larger vehicle, the reason Expeditions and Tahoes sell like crack in the US. The new Dark Horse weighs 4000 friggin lbs...
My N=1 says yes....you will fry your stock cats. I have had the Texas Speed LT headers with their cats on for about 10k miles and have not fried them.......yet.
I ran a few laps of the track on Saturday night. Holy hell the elevation is deceiving! Especially exiting T2 going CW. Now I know why the miata guys struggle there.
Scott is doing some amazing things with the track. One thing that was confirmed by him yesterday was a night time event. Seriously....night time racing! I told him to go ahead and take my money. Also, they hired a new social media guy who is awesome. He did a promo of my car and I took him...
