Hello everyone!
I’ve saved up some cash and am looking to vastly improve the boat-like handling of my mustang gt. I know that a big step would be to lowering/stiffening up the suspension, but I enjoy the ride height, plus when I am racing I feel like by stiffening up the suspension id be missing out on the shift of weight to the rear tires when it squats. The car is supercharged (Roush) and running a 79mm pulley with all the supporting mods, ie fuel pumps, lines, 1000cc injectors, etc.
I would like to have a car I can take to the track but not compromise my ability to do digs. My previous car was an E46 M3 and I knew that when shifting from that to the mustang handling would feel like wheels on a block of jello lol. Just want to do some small improvements.
What are all your thought on a wing? I know that they can be douchey but at what amount of horsepower is one acceptable? 680whp on 95 in 85 degrees? Also, I don’t know much about aerodynamics but my buddy/mechanic offered to make a flat panel out of carbon fiber to cover the bottom of the car, much like some of the newer race/hyper cars. When done right I know they make a low pressure zone and improves downforce while reducing the drag coefficient minorly. Worth doing?
