Out of curiosity, what tires do you use?
And, yeah, I am really curious how accurate the Ford dashboard reading is.
Are you attending the JustTrackIt event at Road Atlanta that weekend or something else?

Sorry to drift off topic, but I have to ask, since you have a Dark Horse with a Whipple, does the Whipple ruin or alter the otherwise excellent handling? Have you tried a road course HPDE day or anything since installing the Whipple?
I am guessing that may have something to do with the lower speeds of autocross as compared to road racing, as RaceWinner mentioned above? (I do not know - I have never participated in autocross and this is my first access to an accelerometer)

At least with the 6G Mustangs, air vent under the seat, fan above it, and a Peltier device in the back (TED - Thermoelectric Device).

Good for you. I worked from the time I was 14, both in jobs like that (grocery store, fast food) after school and in my local lawn cutting business (made a deal with my parents to use the mower if I would pay for all mower gas and maintenance and of course keep our own lawn mowed). I made more...
Looked it up - it is true, but it comes with all sorts of restrictions. For instance, they have to stay under 35 mph. Also, 300cc maximum, which I am guessing that bike violates.
What does this typically cost, and how do you go about finding somebody competent to do it?
Do you do the area of the rear fender that sticks out in front of the rear tires, too? It looks like this area will take rocks from the front tires, since it is the widest part of the body. I know...
S&P 500 returned about 11.55% over that 40 year period. $15,000 annually is $1,250 a month. Continue $1,250 a month from 1985 until today, and you would have contributed only $600,000 for the entire 40 years, but your account value would have grown to $14,252,318
I think $14 million would let...
My only point was that it was a cheap, fast (for the time) car. I remember one of the car magazines in 1988 or so buying a stripped down stick shift version new and then taking things out to lighten the weight and running dragstrip times that were impressive for back then (nothing like now)...
I was wondering what the issue was, since I had not experienced the steering issues being discussed. I own a Dark Horse and have never owed another Mustang. I thought the steering was better than my Audi, which I thought had good steering.
Folks are already complaining about the cost.
I remember when the Fox bodies were being purchased new for just under $10k, and it was one of the fastest things going back then. I wonder what everybody would have said back then if you would have predicted an MSRP north of $70k for the 2025...
