As for the oil pressure, I had to pop a new pump in my X302 crate motor after about 3500 miles, due to creepily noisy start-ups. I only used standard pressure, as I've only got five quart capacity, but it stays at about 10 pounds per thousand. The problem got solved, yo.
All this talk about who's got the bigger tire only inspires me to work up to the green group with my pissant 225 section widths...
As a final point, given the Twinkie-like looks of your Mustang (no offense), in combination with all of the drama that went into the recent disappearance (and subsequent resurgence) of the Twinkie, your car may require a nickname. Any takers?

Good question on the speedo - which I can't answer because if it does have one I don't ever look at it. Ditto the Lotus... I never have any idea how fast I'm going - or as Gaetano would suggest - how slow.
You have to be a real man to crush the competition when they're on steam rollers and you're on skinnies. Skinnies for the win!!
I have a new nickname for this car -- "expensive POS". Good thing I love it!
I like running Green group because the driver experience - thus quality - seems to be far higher than the Red group drivers. The Red group seems to be full of people that barely graduated Yellow - and now think they're fast... but forget to point by - or pinch you off because they don't look around... and some take terrible lines etc. Last year at Mini Nats - in the Red group - Two different sessions I came rolling out of the Carrousel only to find cars wadded up at the bottom... a Porsche and a brand spanking new GT500 that didn't even have plates yet! That is not a difficult turn IMHO..... and these cars were wadded up front and back - both totals. Whereas you rarely have an incident in Green and rarely have a spin... and you can drive with more confidence in the guys around you or in front of you.
