    What are "Shelby MagneRide dampers?" How are they different from Dark Horse MagneRide dampers? (see full post)

    So you are saying that increasing the stock spring rate is pointless in my Dark Horse with the stock Magneride?BTW, the rear spring rate is 742 from the factory. (see full post)

    Very nice. I gotta say that max acceleration G may be off on first run. Lateral looks good i pulled 1.2 in my stock dark horse on track mode. Has more in it. But all it takes is money to get more. That’s why we are here lol

    One problem is if you are self made it takes a while to stop bring poor. That is an issue of great significance in racing but spending my kids inheritance to do what i always wanted to do is a good thing as well lol. I may end up in miata’s but i...

    Agree on most points. That’s why i’m going to buy a purpose built race car if i get serious. But these things can run good on a track and street. And a good trainer

    RII is a drag racing tire. I will be very polite and suggest you look at Bridgestones, Yokes, Falkens, Nankangs, Vitours, etc. they will all be faster and better than the Schittos, er, Nittos. Have a wonderful day.

    Second thing first: Unless you're running GT3 car in big-boy racing, if you're driving a Mustang at the track, you're the broke guy in the crowd. That's just how it goes. If you even think you have money, you're in a different car. That's just... (see full post)

    Oh, and for those curious, I weighed my stock door with window and the fiberglass one with stock regulator with no motor and lexan windows and they are 40lbs per side lighter.DaveW

    Any feedback or advise for a first timer? SCCA Targa Texas will be there end of this month and I've never been on this track. Full Club Spec Mustang (2008 GT). (see full post)
