Car was running 3:47 for the 5 mile config.... I have no idea if that's good bad or indifferent.


The Mustang is like a completely different animal now... totally neutral handling - and just had so much grip... and best yet - didn't do anything weird. The motor is more powerful FEELING. It also just flat sounds better. The brakes give great feel and were very effective. All in all.... WONDERFUL.


The pinion seal issue was unforeseen and really not fixable at the track -- so I said "that's why I have a back up car!".... We'll fix this later as it's a very minor deal.

I can't tell you guys how impressed I am with what Ron has been able to do with the old girl. It's not just the parts.... it's how they all work together. I can't say "this" was better or "that" made a difference. The cars running gear is all new... and it ALL made a difference. Where I used to lift and roll thru turns 7 and 8 --- I'm now taking WOT.... that's just HUGE! The off camber turn 3 is just no biggie now -- where I was always just waiting for the ass to step out.... My confidence level and fun factor just went up by 100 fold. Amazing. What a great weekend!

That is a beautiful picture right there. Perfect contrast imo.
Glad to here is close to being or is dialed. Hard work=rewards.
Too bad about the pinion seal but i guess thats all part of the fun. Beats what i was doing all weekend...

Greg, is the rear window in the mustang lexan? In the photo above, it looks like the top of the window is pulling down? Could be just an illusion...
Car looks great, and I'm glad you chose to work with Ron. Enjoy!
