Assuming that most of the people on here are running a Mustang at open track events... If you were starting all over, would you choose a Mustang again as a platform for a track car, or something else?
I think I'm getting the itch to sell the V in the next year and find something in the 30k range, which will primarily used for DEs, auto-x, and weekend drives with the fiancee, so it doesnt have to be DD friendly, and I keep coming back to the Mustang (03-04 Cobra, 03-04 Mach 1, 99-01 Cobra) but not sure if I would be doing any better than where I am at right now with the CTS-V as a base platform to work with.
I'm getting out of the drag racing thing (went to the local drag strip a month ago and didn't really enjoy it like I used to) but have been having an absolute blast autocrossing and will start running the road courses, my first event is Sebring on Jan 23rd, with the CTS-V. The CTS-V is fun, but for some reason I just don't think I can get it decently competitive, and feel bad tearing apart a comfy, reasonably quick luxury sedan. I'd like to start with a good platform, and continue to add to it over the years to keep up with my progressive driving abilities.
How much does it take to get the Mustangs somewhat competitive on a track to where they are running with the Cayman Ss and C5 Z06s? I perused the Griggs website and WOW, they are not cheap... if you were to do it over again, would you get the Mustang and set it up for road course, or just start out with something else?
