- stevbd replied to the thread S550 Seat Comparison: Comfort v Recaro v Racing Bucket.Although in an S197, I went from the premium leather stock seats to a set of cloth recaros out of a Boss, both with a schroth 4 point removable harness. I’ve also spent a lot of time in true race seats on track. The difference is pretty much... (see full post)
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S197 Redrum "GT350".I will amend Dave's thoughts a little as it is a great idea to go to Wendover, but having started autocrossing in 1981 in Salina, Ks. ( Nationals were held there for many years ) I recommend going to Nationals as soon as you can. The knowledge... (see full post)- Bouncing Soul replied to the thread S550 Seat Comparison: Comfort v Recaro v Racing Bucket.I had a 16 GT350 without Recaros and those tech pack seats were the most comfortable seat I’ve ever street driven in any car- never tracked that car but they wouldn’t have been good. Drove that car across the country to TX and bought a 17 350R... (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread S550 Seat Comparison: Comfort v Recaro v Racing Bucket.Anything that has full leather will be a problem. The factory recaros to me look like leather armchairs. My friend has the leather version of this that came in the Renault Megane and he wasn't happy overall. My fabric inner, leather side version... (see full post)-
- Don Lariviere replied to the thread Dark Horse brakes.Car looks fantastic! I have a 2018 TA2 Cope Camaro, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. For those asking about the comparison between a converted street chassis vs one of these cars, to me there is no comparison. The feel, cost, speed, all... (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread Tying Your S550 Down In The Trailer.It is kinda difficult with a big wheel setup. Also started going through the wheel. Just be real careful with pulling angles. The Ford tie down points attached are also an option. (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.I'm going to throw the proverbial grenade here. A lot of cages i've seen on TMO don't comply with recognized standard construction that complies with race regulations. Comparing regulations from FIA, NASA, Motorsport Australia, Motorsport UK they... (see full post)
RoadRacer78 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.Got screwed by a eBay seller. The Sparco seat base I need is out of stock everywhere. The eBay seller has them listed in stock and has an active listing. Four days after ordering it they tell me I won't have it until everyone else has it... (see full post)-
RoadRacer78 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.I read something about harness bars that I never thought of. If you roll over you are trapped sitting straight up and down by the 4-5pt belts unlike a 3pt that will let you scrunch up. No overhead protection and trapped straight up. I'm out.I...

RoadRacer78 posted the thread Tying Your S550 Down In The Trailer in S550 Mustang Tech - GT, GT350 & GT500.I'm thinking of getting this car hauler or one like it.I was a tow truck driver 30yrs ago, I've hauled a zillion motorcycles and I've had a few cars in enclosed trailers. But I have never used a flat bed like this before. My question is, how...

- OX1 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.It's weird that CMS bolts into stock seatbelt holes for kickers, but you drill holes for main hoop. Watson/Fathouse, you bolt in main hoop, but then drill holes for kickers.I did not want to drill any holes, started with Fathouse main hoop and... (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread S550 : rear brake upgrade, ran the numbers and got a surprise.From the dark side, yes i'm one of those, would this help manage the rear brake pressure allowing good initial bite but limiting ultimate clamping pressure especially as weight is transferred to the front. The pelican parts link has a good... (see full post)

Stan Whitney replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.I have a CMS roll bar. Nice part about it is the holes are only drilled for the main hoop in a structural beam that cannot be seen. The rear legs bolt to rear seat belt mounts. Schrader rsd kit I got from them like this - looks good and can... (see full post)
