This may have been asked & answered before, but I was wondering what wheel & tire combo would work best for a 'front skinnie' configuration on my '19 GT. Is there a 17 or 18 inch wheel that would clear the brakes with that set-up or do you have to change the brakes?
My engine has a D1X...
This is probably been answered before, but I'll ask anyway. Long story to short story. My 24 ft. enclosed trailer was stolen last year. So, to take my '16 stang to my local track, Thunder Valley Raceway Park (TVRP), is about 35 miles from my home. 70 miles round trip. Are the MT ET Street R's...
I've got a problem others may have had, but I'll post my issue. I have the Roush phase II SC dealer installed on a base '16 Mustang GT. It was part of the '$39,999' promotion a couple of years ago. It's an M6. 3.73 gears. I have several suspension upgrades and full length, long tube headers with...
Bob Glidden passed away yesterday. For decades, he was my racing hero. Especially, because he kicked butt in a Ford. Godspeed, Bob. RIP.

My car has 3.55s and I use the MT 305R45/17s on Racestars. At the 'strip, the rev limiter kicks in before the end of the 1/4 mile. TB closes and run is toast. I never thought 3.55s would be too low. Maybe if I had 4.10s. It's the internal gearing of the MT-82, isn't it? I have reset the rev...
I was told I would need a larger TB to yield the best power gains from my Roush Phase 2 (727 HP) supercharger that I dad a dealer install on my '16 mustang GT. It was part of thier promotion of buy a SC for a GT for 40K special. It's also apparent I'll need a much better tune, as well.

I was wondering if any of you guys have used these functions at the drag strip? I plan on taking my '16 GT (manual, with the Roush phase 2 SC) to the Ford vs. Buick event on 10/15. I do have Nitto drag radials.
I think to the LL is only good for heating the tires out of the water box. I...
I took in-car video and had a friend take external vid of the same run. It's been two years since I've had this car on the 'strip. It felt good. :-D

Just curious about this. There's some 'smack talk' going on over on yellowbullet about the '13 GT500 vs ZL1. It seems GM boys are in denial. One of them posts one...just one video of a dead heat race between them and assume that's the normal results on the 'strip. Apparently, they're not taking...

I'm going to the FFW event in Dallas in a few weeks. I have slicks, but don't have the 'smalls' up front. I don't have the funds to buy a set of skinnies & wheels right now. So, Do any of you guys have the skinnies.......that I could borrow for that weekend? :burnout:
I work at Learjet and leaving work yesterday I noticed a '13 Shelby (candy red w/white stripes) parked in the southwest section of the new parking lot. He was parked away form any other vehicles....I don't blame him. Does anyone have an idea of you this guy is? The car still had the 30 day temp...

I've a got an '11 GT500....about ~ 700 RWHP. UPR uper/lower control arms; CHE relocation brackets; adjustable panard bar; drag springs. I'm using a MT 28x10.5x15W (11" tread width) slick. After 8 passes, the limited slip....slipped.
