very cool, indeed. The exhaust note sounds amazing, is the video a good representation?

Love the stance too. Oh, and don't change the factory wheels.

Thanks! Yeah, that's pretty close to real life.

One of those times where function = form. Car is purpose setup for AX right now. Stance (rake) is dialed in. Super controllable. Many thanks to GTWorx on the ST (KW) coilovers and Whiteline RSB.

Wheels are staying. I like them too. Just being 19s is a downer. Only 2 summer/AX tires in my size. This seasons AX runs have been in 340 rate Spring-Fall type tires.

FTD on 340 tread wear tires with a full-weight mustang?! Were you competing against the Chevy Cavalier club or something?

That's your brother's car? Sounds great.

Gotta love the grunt of the LS1.

Edit, excuse me, LS6.

Swapped new crate 04 LS6 with long tube headers, intake manifold, throttle body, massive y-pipe + free flowing exhaust (aka no mufflers), and tuning.

Yeah, I went back to watch from beginning and noticed the spec bits. Were you manually shifting the tranny? What kind of converter?

On a tight course, could your Mustang stay with it?

1st most of that run. 2nd on straight. Back to 1st in corner.

Trans was rebuild to hold gear its in unless stopped (will go back to 1st). Did a run in 2nd, not as fast as using 1 and 2. 2200 stall.

I think the Mustang would have been faster. It can plant the power and suspension is more developed. If I had 275 front and 325 rear r-comps on the Z28 -- it would have been a monster with traction under it.
