The car is a 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The only option is the performance package. This thread will document the car's journey.
<Edit>
I forgot to mention that I weighed the car at the track's scale. The car had a half tank of fuel and ~50 lbs of 'stuff' in it. No driver was in the car while weighing it.
Front = 2,032 lbs (54.6%)
Rear = 1,690 lbs (45.4%)
Total = 3,722 lbs

Track: Tulsa Race Way Park
Non-OEM parts: Front tires are OEM size, but are A/S.
Goal et: 13.00
Run #1:
Advanced T/C off
L/C set @ 4,000 rpm
Lots of wheel hop in first, second, and part of third. I expected this and stayed in it out of curiosity...
R/T: 0.076
60': 2.224
330': 5.912
1/8: 8.844
1/8 mph: 85.44
1,000': 11.340
1/4: 13.410
1/4 mph:111.64
Run #2:
T/C On
L/C set @ 4,000 rpm
Wheel hop set in just as quickly. When the T/C kicked in, the car bogged badly. Missed third gear shift.
R/T: 0.352
60': 2.536
330': 6.427
1/8: 10.023
1/8 mph: 66.66
1,000': 13.205
1/4: 15.707
1/4 mph: 88.33
Run #3:
Advanced T/C off
L/C set @ 3,000 rpm
Launched softer and attempted to avoid excessive wheel spin. Accomplished with reasonable success and saw improvement in the 60'. More ET in harder shifting.
R/T: 0.205
60': 2.137
330': 5.759
1/8: 8.658
1/8 mph: 86.14
1,000': 11.135
1/4: 13.193
1/4 mph: 112.35
The track had a lot of oil downs that limited me to three runs. I want one more outing to the track to attempt better, more consistent baseline numbers. After that, I'll likely go with the Steeda bushing stabilizer kit.
Have a good day!
