This thread has been done before...


But yes, I will be in SCCA's F-stock for the Northwest region this year.... So keep an eye out.

Will also be entering the Alcan rally for the 2010 summer

14" & 14.4" rotors with 4-piston fixed calipers are not designed for that?

Yes I plan to at minimum light to light race my "Black Ride of Death pt.2" to relive my youth. My wife made me update my will and life insurance, no BS.

On the street every day!!!!!!!!J/K.

But really though, this won't be a daily driver for me but I'm sure there will be more than a little temptation to blast that damn stang's doors off on the interestate.

I've never done this sort of thing before, BUT I am really thinking of taking my new ride down the strip at least once. I know they will let me, and I would like to run an official 1/4 mile. That of course may lead to another....and another....and another!

Yeah I'm confused about this as well. With the independant rear, the FE3 suspension, the brimbos and the rubber on the tires.... these things are suppose to handle.
