That sounds like a good combo. How is your braking?The braking on mine absolutely sucks... and biasing up the spring or dampening rates to help it brake better will not help handling. This car needs the IRS with a serious dose of anti-dive geometry. My 2003 Cobra proved the superiority of that...
Vorshlag definitely is the best of the best. And one of the very very few who have the track experience to prove it.
The right double-adjustable shocks/struts will give you multiple adjustments, with room to learn as you explore settings and develop the right settings for your own track...
Yes, absolutely, and I didn't mean to imply any order in the parts I listed. Rubber and camber plates. It's very clear that this car needs better rubber, and especially more negative camber up front. And best to put that rubber on a spare set of wheels, both to optimize wheel width and...
It's a minimum requirement, along with an adjustable panhard rod. And in the front you should look at upper strut mounts and end links for the steering rack. And an adjustable torque arm.
This car is designed for a certain ride height, and the associated components are all designed for that...
No on PCA - not anymore. I abandoned them as did many other instructors down here. They got too snotty and wouldn't allow non-Porsche owners to register for events until all their own people were covered, and they require the 911 line to be taught and only der 911 line. Period.
I don't support...
Sorry to hear about your Dad! Sounds like a great guy!
I moved here from Seattle myself, so I appreciate your area. You're now on countdown for a few months, so you have time to do the necessary tuning and experimenting before your season starts.
Are the SVO 18" wheels 10" wide all around (you...
Did you dyno after the tune with both keys?
I;m concerned that the red key may end up leaning out the engine or something after a new tune is installed.
Sorry, but to clarify again.
You have the TrackKey setup.
Then you install, say, a Steeda tune or somebody's.
Then does the red and black key each do the new tune identically? In other words, both keys are now equal?
Sorry, not intended to be a low blow. But the purpose of the car is handling, and anything done to it ought to be about handling. Changing a set of springs for appearance sake is not the purpose of the Boss.
Also, lowering it requires matching dampening rates, an adjustable panhard, new lower...
No, it's right on. The 2003-2004 Cobras had major issues, and the cylinder head was just one of them. It was part of the same crappy Ford lack of quality engineering and testing that made the Ford GT a disaster: Car & Driver Magazine - Ford a Supercar that Delivers a Super Headache. Coletti...
The S550 IRS is totally unrelated to the DEW98. And it's not the one that was designed and tested and ready to go for the original S197 either. This is a totally new design, unique to the S550, not sharing any parts. The web is full of pictures of it, since it was first spotted last year and has...
"New Edge" is the design language the designers used for the 1999-2004 Mustangs. It's Ford's terms, not invented by "us".
But underneath the SN95 was very much an evolution of the Fox cars. In fact, when they were introduced at the press briefing, a cutaway body was shown that showed the...
So you upload an aftermarket tune, start the car with the black key, and it uses the aftermarket tune.
But if you start the car with the red key....?????
And that cylinder head problem also affected the Lincoln Aviator. The Terminator also had issues with it's T-56, and a startup tuning issue that went on for a year. SVT had serious engineering and testing problems, where as the car diverged from the GT more and more, the issues became more and...
