    Set up right, putting power down off the apex is the S197's secret weapon. Google the Phoenix cars if you haven't already. Awesome stuff.I agree with others here that a torsen/eaton is definitely better than a trac lock. @RodS197's... (see full post)

    @ShifterX I went from a functioning OEM trac loc to an Eaton in my 2011 GT. Similar to you, I usually run in advance level HPDE and my car is daily street driven.In that context, I found the Eaton to be a noticeable but not transformational... (see full post)

    I've been meaning to update this thread and the one on the corral. The car is doing good right now. Still have a couple more things to do before it is ready for the final NMCA event Oct 15-16. I didn't do much updating to my threads since I had...

    I enjoy assembling LEGO’s, the Technic category with cars being my favorite. Some of my past builds to cure the winter blues but with spring coming, that will be replaced with the full sized version on some asphalt.

    Well, my “budget mustang” has been sold.Exactly one week ago I was at a friends wedding, four or five whiskeys deep when I receive a text from @Vettel-ish that his old car, Celeste (build thread on this site) was back up for sale. Andy...

    Very surprised how well it behaved, all 185K miles of it. I did a self enforced rpm limit of 5K though. Love the Blip shift, Hankooks, and stock Gt brakes with Hawk pads.
