    Kinda off topic but I was curious I found a great deal on some 20 inch velgen wheels I hear that 18 or 19 is preferred for the track and best handling but for 500 bucks I would love them. What's your take on riding on 20s in a s197? (see full post)

    I think you missing the basic point here. The shear load of the weight of the vehicle is moved farther away from the face of the hub with a spacer. Offset and rim width have nothing to do with the wheel face to hub mating surface. I’d you move... (see full post)

    You can burn through 2 sets of G-LOC's and still have lunch money before you buy Pagids. Hopefully it will change.

    I just got my 200k mile MT82 rebuilt by Lashbrook and they recommend the stock Ford fill. https://lmr.com/item/LRS-MT82SVC/mustang-motorcraft-transmission-fluid-service-kit-mt82-11-18 (see full post)

    From the same link:"This exactly. People like to b*tch and moan about how bad spacers are, but effective offset is effective offset. The car sees zero difference whether it’s built into the wheel or it’s done with spacers."

    Short answer, with an equivalent driver, No, I don't see us giving Vettes or Porsches many sleepless nights.There is a weight thread. Add lightness.

    Yes those are very good but expensive radiators. About a year ago I bought an aluminum radiator for my son’s track s197 on Amazon for 150 bucks and it’s actually pretty good….a simple 3 pass mod would be enough to top it off. If mine ever fails...

    Yep, I was homeless for a fair stretch and slept in my car more times than I know. It's just how it was. In the end, you probably took the right path...at the very least, it was the smarter one.I think people measure lives the wrong way. It's...
