- TeeLew replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Yep, that's the accepted logic. It's not exactly wrong, but it misses the point. The 'Pro' will naturally have a sharper front end because of how he drives, not because of the settings on the car. If you do end up with a car that's genuinely... (see full post)
honeybadger replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Interesting - I've always heard faster drivers want a sharper front end because you can manage the rear end with steering and the pedals....but what you're saying is backwards, right? (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.100%. This sounds completely counterintuitive, but you can pretty much tell how fast a driver is by now much understeer they want in the car. The faster the driver, the more secure they need the rear of the car. They create the rotation on their... (see full post)

Mad Hatter replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.As Tee Lew mentioned, a lot depends how you drive as well. I know when people drive my car they say it very strong understeer (running with out a rear bar etc). For me at least, Rotating the car in the corner with the brakes is key. Then early...

JDMac34 replied to the thread S197 JDMac's GT.I decided to pull the trigger on a Nine Lives Wing after Watkins Glen. It arrived the night I was putting my car on the trailer for Muscle on the Mountain at UMI Motorsports Park. It was a thrash to get it together that night, but I'm happy with... (see full post)-

biggsy replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Sorry I must be missing something. What is the issue? (see full post)-
JDMac34 replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.I made it from scratch using dimensions from Setrab's website. I don't have much experience 3D scanning. I can see how it would be beneficial for reference parts, like this cooler, but I've heard it's a pain if you ever have to modify one of... (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread Suspension Banging.WOW, good find. Will be interesting to see what is suggested. All i can envision is packing that coil to prevent compression. (see full post)
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Mr. TonyMustang302 is 42 today!.Tony might have missed this since he probably spent the entire weekend at the track. Reach out guys as he does work hard during the week unless he is on one of his 2 week vacations, haha!

ScottD replied to the thread S550 Scott’s 2019 Mustang GT.The one for sale there in the ad has like 83k miles and isn’t heavily modified. If it has seen a lot of track time, I’d say 83k would be considered high mileage. The S550 needs differential cooling, and either transmission cooling or diligent... (see full post)
