What blast! These Mustangs are BEASTS! I had so much fun getting around Carolina Motorsports Park, the car really is just amazing to drive

Nice job taking it to the track! Too many Stangs just stay at home most of the time. Get some video next time!

I've got some great video, but I need to edit it then figure out how to post it.

Yeah, people are missing out. This car is serious fun at the track. What do you use for break pads?

Yep, track days are a ton of fun, especially with a few well chosen suspension mods!!

Glad to hear you had a good time! I've done two track days in mine... Can't wait until I can get better wheels and tires on it to make it even more fun!

Attempt two, no one could open the first link. Hopefully it works this time.

I need new pads, expansion can for the rear, r compound tires, more air flow through the engine bay, 18 inch wheels, and coil overs, the list goes on. This is going to be a long, gradual build
