Greg, you have a data acquisition system in the Mustang right? It really makes the videos more fun when you merge a data overlay onto the video with speed, rpms etc.



Data acquisition in the Mustang is your back pressed into the seat.... and the heat off the floorboards... and the shifter in the palm of your hand.

You have just caused my track day withdrawal symptoms to spike. Now I want to go do a track day!

LOL --- YEP!!!


I will say this ---- and I know this is blasphemy on a pro touring site.... but I have absolutely ZERO use for a "street" car.... The pure track car is so visceral... LOUD - HOT - stripped down to the bare essentials... and set up just for performance. I don't want to compromise the suspension settings.. or tires or any of that. Track driving is just too addicting and we don't get enough of it... so when I do... I want it to be pure "race car" feeling (I suck at driving - but I like the feedback etc). And I like to not cringe when I hear stuff hitting the car (and it does like crazy) and I like to not have to be "careful" when working on it etc. I'm really "over" having to be nice to high dollar paint... and clean beautiful interiors... Light weight, horsepower, and super sticky tires is such a fun combo!

Hey Greg, nice to meet you on Friday. That Mustang sure looked good on the track. I hope to try out that track soon.

What a great report you guys!!!

Greg, seriously, i'm glad you (read Ron here) got that car dialed (or close) and just plain having fun with it...fun stuff.

Sieg, sweet stuff huh? how do you like it compared to off road? I get the same amount of "euphoria" from either, but dont come home sore as he!! after the track.....

Hope to see y'all soon....Cheers...

Mike,

What the Mustang reminded me of most was my '11 KTM 300XC with ideal traction conditions in Central Oregon - You can absolutely trust the front end, turns inside or outside with ease, throttle steer the rear IF you want, and powerful predictable brakes.......doesn't get any better than that in my book.

Ron's process works brilliantly in this 'nobody's' opinion.

Poor little Mustang - had to try and run with those pesky Lotus, Caterham, and BMW... Nice meeting you as well!! Great track!! Tough to learn... but OMG fun!

I used to live up at Shorty's Corners (Sandy).... and my Brother in Law lives in Boring on Regner Terrace.

Nice Greg!
The camera view from the low point it's set at (basically hood level) made it hard to tell what was up ahead. Car sounds great, and looked like a runner, for sure.
Glad to see you enjoying your toys!

Sounds like you guys had a great time
I understand only having a small amount of cars on
the track.. done that many times with my Pantera group
lots of room out there.... good to hear the car is running and
sorted...I kinda miss my old mustang sometimes as Greg says
you don't have to worry about Rock chips etc
