  1. Traction Trouble

    I'm retired. My son lives in Washington and worked for years at Amazon as a Programmer. Before that as a mechanical engineer for Bosch he tested all the pre-production cars like the Corvette Z06, Ford GT-40, and dodge Vipers etc. on their private track in Farmington. But he likes the Mustang...
  2. Traction Trouble

    Sounds like something I should've read before I started this project. I've had Mustangs for 30 years, but I never knew Track Mustangs existed until a week ago. How old is this organization? But then again, I never tried to track a Mustang before either.
  3. Traction Trouble

    They are AMR "Silver Wheel Rear Only (05-09Mustang) and 19x10 and AMR "Silver Wheel 19x8.5 (05-09Mustang). These were the third set ordered, American Muscles website said the previous two rims would fit and didn't, but they did eat the shipping costs, until we found these that actually fit.

  6. Traction Trouble

    I'm new at this and I suppose there's a good reason why people don't mix different tires together, and you've given some good reasons. The tires I have on now are pretty much done after just two track days. My son says driving lessons would be money well spent, and with my lack of experience...
  7. Traction Trouble

    If I can't run a wider tire up front, I thought I could compensate with a stickier tire.

    front sway bar link, MOOK80899, front strut bellows, Front strut bearings, front sway bar link, stabilizer bar, orange Koni struts with 2-inch lowering springs, engine and transmission mounts, and a rear sway bar. And once it was lowered a front 19x10 would not fit. the front and rear tires...

So, I've run it at Gingerman Raceway a couple...
