    Longest driven distance (in miles) in your S197

    Yep , I'm still deciding if the best were the 300 miles on autobahn with no speed limit or the long day at nurburgring roadracing on a 20 miles track in the middle of a forest... Can't wait on doing it again ... if only the wifey lets me go again ... Iìll try to negotiate it for next summer...

    I have a manual 5 speed . No issues with the centerforce clutch : at first the pedal was a bit hard , but using it it became good for me , or just i got accustomed to it . when I have the A/C engaged the clutch satellites make a little vibration , just like the ducati bike clutch . I'm very...

    Strange Idle during cold start

    I had the same fluctuation problem 2 times , and 2 times I solved it by cleaning the intake : just remove the four bolts ant the wires , use some motor oil and be gentle with the moving parts . Be sure to remove all the black stains and to clean away the oil you used . My car runs very good...

    05 Mustang GT as first MANUAL car

    I think that any choice is good : just take it easy , and after the first two weeks you'll wonder how you did not try it earlier . I drive stick and auto cars ; imho , i like auto in heavy traffic only , but the stang deserves the stick : spirited drive and road racing needs you to be in full...

I'm not an expert of drag racing though ... if I remember well the setup for drag is a bit different ...
