I searched and found the car on TCP website - which listed the equipment.... The rear is a TCP pushrod system (which my Mustang used to run - until it was switched back to a leaf spring & Maier set up). The front is the TCP coil over set up which is what I'm running... The TCP car runs a 600 HP 408 ci


I have to tell ya -- I wouldn't think the Merc9 car would be very much fun to just pass everyone like they're standing still.... While I like to be able to pass some folks (Gaetano in particular - LOL) I find track sessions more fun to be running with some guys that are "equal" or better than me and see if I can catch them in one area - and if they pull me in another etc and try dice it up a bit with them. That's just my own feeling.
LOL...That clearly ain't the Merc's normal run group. They run the fastest classes with NASA and SCCA and win often.
