If he's really concerned with the transmission, I'd take it out, put it in a box, and put in a Tremec. From my experiences so far, The MT82 can be used hard, but it can't be abused, and that includes spinning the input cluster too fast. I'd imagine that the cooler is to take care of the high...

I'll answer for the Vorshlag plates. The main plate is made of .400" thick heat treated alloy aluminum plate. Most of our other plates are .300", but between the weight of the car and the potential tire size, the S550 got an upgrade. The only other plates we make this thick are a few that have...

Don't worry. MT hasn't spoken for me as a consumer for a long time. But when I look at their COTY choices, they obviously don't look at performance. I think it's more about advancements in technology, sales, style, and of course, advertiser dollars! The list of previous COTY winners from...

Sorry, got confused by all the cars. That's Terry's car he special ordered. I could have sworn we got the brakes on it.

The original XXXL version of the window sticker can be accessed here: https://vorshlag.smugmug.com/Projects/Vorshlag-2015-Mustang-Build/i-ZDwv6fM Here is an enlarged and cropped section. This is a base GT with the PP and Recaro options.

I'd stick with the 4-pot PP brakes, add an oil cooler, and downsize to lighter 18" wheels and tires. And yes, I took some measurements to start the GT350 wheel process. 11" front and 12" rear look easy, possibly even without camber plates. Not sure we could get a 12 up front, but an 11.5 might...

GT with PP and Recaros

Completely different front and rear between the S197 and S550.

THIS ↑↑↑↑↑ is a bigger deal than most think. The number of different types of aluminum sheet, different steel sheet, extruded aluminum components in the pillars and rocker, and cast/forged aluminum sections of the tub are important. The newer style of rivets, dual metal spot welds and lots and...

One of the "Find New Road" demonstrators is in town. They are production cars.

Just how big are the Ride Tech shafts? Vorshlag plates can accommodate up to a 19mm shaft in some geometry.

Actually, that car ended up running 335 in the front and 345 in the rear. It went around the track OK. :D Just weighed a 2016 Camaro SS-1 with cloth seats and non-magnetic shocks. With 7/8 tank of fuel and no trunk junk it came in at 3668.

I have not found any off-the-shelf part that will fit over the stub and hold an appropriately sized spring. So I'm going to make them.

Upper or lower perch? FWIW, SCCA Street Touring and Street Prepared legal rear spring solutions will be available soon.

For what application? Those already exist for offroad and rally use.

Yep, the CF5 will clear the S550 Brembo brakes.

Yes, they can be built with remotes for two way, and three way adjustment. I'd prefer having remotes for the classes that allow it, or don't penalize it with extra points like NASA Time Trial letter classes. Other parts are also available such as camber plates, springs and shortened swaybar end...

Yes, a few sets are already installed and competing.

Haven't had them built yet. Have to finalize the rear suspension and brakes before we have final specs to build the wheels around.

This is very easy to test. Remove the rear spring, disconnect the swaybar and cycle the suspension through it's movement both with and without a wheel and tire. We do this with every suspension we work with both to check and see if there are any issues with lengths and strokes, and also to see...
