why does my 1/4 time suck so bad??

[88mustng]

either i suck at driving really really bad or something is up with my car. before the sc best i could run was 15.1 at 93 at the track with a 2.3 60ft.

after the sc i ran it on a side road with the gtech which i know is very accurate but it said 15.6 at 98.

what the hell is goin on here.

i know that when i went back to the place i ran it there was just 2 strips from my tires like 100 feet long.

im starting to hate my car.
my brothers stock 85 capri beat my cars cause i just spun my tires real bad.
what can i do for suspension on this. is that even what i have to do?

i am lost.

thanks,
steve

Yeah.. Sounds like traction problems to me.

Sub Frame Connectors, new Control Arms and some slicks for a start.

Hmmm.....Let's see if i got this right.... You are making more power but you can't get it to the ground? Alotta people would like to have your problem! First off; do you have any weight transfer to the rear? Stiff road race springs & shocks on the front will resist weight transfer. The front swaybar will too. Bigger tires put a larger footprint on the road for more traction. You can buy a tire that is softer too. Read the tread wear rating on the sidewall. 300 or less will stick better than 300+; but will wear out quicker as well. Have you installed tubular upper & lower control arms yet? Thet will help plant the tires over the flimsy & softly bushed stock control arms. Go to the track, look for other Mustangs that hook good, & talk to the owner's about the parts & setup they have.....

.....you just might find a conection to some good leftover parts cheap from when they "upgraded" due to thier making more power....
