In the beginning (when I'd drive car to track events), I used the gas pumps at the tracks. Yea, it was costly, but convenient and less of a hassle. Closest gas station to RA I believe is about 2 mi. up in Elkhart Lake.

thanks, spelling corrected

Sadly, Ford puts chrome nuts on the NPP vs. black. Had a set of black one piece Ford nuts waiting before car was delivered.......looks sooo much better.

The blade spoiler is more for looks that function. Proper wing placement, to get good downforce, needs to be almost level with the roof line and sit back from the rear a bit in order to get undisturbed airflow. Look at most competitive road course cars and their wing placement. Downside to...

One of my favorite road courses. Lots of staights and long sweeping curves. Trickiest for me was turn 6 - Corvette Corner, blind turn and turn 12 - Canada Corner, lots of speed and then a 90* right hander. You'll like it.

The trick with aero is getting the car balanced as best you can. Not having access to wind tunnels (and being able to afford them), it took a lot of "try this and try that", before we felt we knew how much wing angle to have to compliment the splitter and vice versa. Then adding the diffuser...

The only way to properly add a rear wing. When mine was installed, it had square tubing brackets mounted in trunk to frame, with mount slabs protruding thru trunk lid, where wing would be attached. PIA to open trunk, if needed, had to take wing off.

To add to the other replies, I read, after Ford investigated the large number of recalls, that one of the factors was relying to much on AI to build and QC the cars. As a result, Ford rehired many of its senior techs that had been layed off or retired to get things back on track. Add all the...

Example: My favorite track was Mid Ohio in Lexington, OH., ran there about 3 times a year for 12 years. My best time was around 1:41, with stock OEM aero on my Roush mustang. Once I converted car to dedicated track car, adding AJ Hartman aero, Splitter, Diffuser, Canards and dropping some...

I believe AJ Hartman Aero is one of the few makers of CF mustang aero products that are extensively tested in a wind tunnel before put on the market. AJ spends hours wind tunnel testing at the A2 Wind Tunnel in Mooresville, N.C., and has numerous YouTube videos of his testing along with some...

For someone who road raced a mustang for 12 years, this is the epitome of an excellent road racing car. Would love to have one, but not in my budget and I need to be about 20 years younger.

I'd send DFB5.0 a PM and see what he recommends. Being a professional detailer, he might have some tricks up his sleeve.

These also work very well. Can replace the domes as needed. https://ajhartmanaero.com/search.php?search_query=biscuit

Didn't say the DH has forged internals, said - the Dark Horse adds forged connecting rods from the Shelby GT500 and unique camshafts.

Adding a convertible wind deflector/wind blocker can reduce much of the turbulence and routes air over the interior.

Had a DH Vert been available when we bought our 24 GT Vert, we'd have gone with the DH Vert. Don't need the SC, had one, done that, moved on, but do like the other features the DH w/HP offers.

What the GT PP's & DH come with are better than nothing, but IMO, if you plan on tracking the car hard and tracking a lot, consider finding a good Mod Shop in your local and have them do something like the Kenny Brown Kit (attached)or similar. You want as much air hitting the discs as possible...

The DH's 5.0 is a little different, both use the same basic 5.0-liter V8 layout, the Dark Horse adds forged connecting rods from the Shelby GT500 and unique camshafts. Would love to have forged internals, but to costly.

This is what happens when auto makers and others rely to quickly on AI. I heard Ford, after they looked into their horrendous Recall Issues, found AI being a major culprit and has rehired some of their layed off experienced workers, managers, etc.

Congrats on your first child. My recommendation would be get one of the safest family vehicles made today - Subaru Forester. May not be the most "eye appealing" vehicle out there, but they are one of the safest, if not the safest. Of the many jobs we have as parents.....keeping our...
