Also if just sitting still and reving the engine in neutral, I can tell there is a roughness. It’s more noticeable under a power load when moving down the road or under any type of acceleration or just maintaining a constant speed. Push the clutch in at any speed, roughness gets much less...
Was initially thinking that but roughness seems to be RPM related, not speed related. When clutch is pushed in, rpms drop, vibration is much less noticeable. Was thinking if it was the driveshaft vibration would get worse with speed. Now, having said, along with the diff rebuild we did...
Please Help with ideas:
2019 Mustang GTPP1
93 octane tune.
100% track set-up, pretty much everything in the Steeda Catalog.
Just had Diff rebuilt, drive shaft carrier replaced, new GT350 half Shafts installed.
Car was in the shop a long time and the techs drove it a lot “testing” so they...
I've got a 2017 GT350R. Most all of the rubber hoses on top of the engine that connect to and around the intake manifold are starting to develop small cracks especially near or at the connection points. It looks like many of these hoses are specially formed to fit. My mechanic says all the...
So, here we are 5 and a half years after the original post. A lot has happened. Wanted to do an update.
The 2019GT has been great. Made some serious modifications and after about 2,000 miles it became a dedicated HPDE and time attack car. We’ve replaced the front k-member, added IRS subframe...
I was the 2nd highest bidder on the Red 2017 R w 6K miles. Bid it to $90k. Was my first attempt at a 350R on BaT and I absolutely would not go that high again. Was able to get a white 2017 with 2400 miles on BaT for $72,500 the next week. Granted the one I bought has no ceramic, no ppf...
Regarding that 2017 red GT350R on BaT, I was the 2nd highest bidder on that car. I bid it to $90K and was outbid at $90,500. Granted it was a well documented car, well cared, completely documented, rarer color combo and included a huge investment in PPF and ceramic. It was my first attempt at...
I’ve got a 2019 GT PP1 with the Torsen diff. Temps keep getting high on the track (275F-300F) the diff cooler isn’t helping. Sent the fluid off to Blackstone for analysis after a weekend event at Sebring. Results after 500 miles on-track showed significant viscosity breakdown and high levels...
I got the OMP HTE-R. XL size. Put in both driver and passenger. Very happy with this seat. Got XL size. Fits me well. 6’2” 230lbs, 38” waist. L size was uncomfortably tight.
Thanks! That E85 really added some power. Very evident on the back straight as you can see the time delta start ticking up compared to my prior personal best, which was a 3rd place win at SCCA time trial (unlimited class) last November.
In case anyone is still following this thread…here is an update February 2024, 5 years after my original purchase. Have transformed the car into a dedicated HPDE, track, time attack car. Here are the mods I’ve made:
2019 Mustang GT Factory Performance Pack Level 1
Ford Performance suspension...
Hi Everyone,
Looking for some input. I've got a 2019 Mustang GT PP1, Purchased New. I started tracking the car at 500 miles and have done a lot of HPDE and Time Trials. The car is not my daily and pretty much now a dedicated track car. It has just over 10,000 miles total and probably 7,000...
I wonder how this plays with knee and leg room. Big reason for the removable racing wheel is to better facilitate getting into and out of the car, especially when equipped with high bolster racing seats which are many times bolted into place at the drivers preferred driving position which makes...
My 2019 Mustang GT Premium is becoming more of a dedicated track car. When yesterday to the shop that is installing my OMP racing seats and CMS roll at and 6 point harness. Got fitted in the seat. All looks great. I originally opted for a seat slider however I’m a tall guy and the lack of...
Thanks. It was nice of you to respond. I do wish that Futura had been a good bit less expensive. I know it comes at a premium. Hopefully, it will give many years of good service. If I might ask, what do you use for a tow vehicle? I pull with an F-150 with the Max Tow package. Seems to...
?? Not sure of the purpose of your post other than to make me feel bad about spending more than 2x on a Futura. Glad you got a rocking deal on your Primo. “Good luck” to you as well. Oh, BTW, do I understand correctly that you have to use two sets of ramps? “The provided ramps with” your...
