  1. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    2023 Solo Nats update (DELAYED lol)Well, we finally did it! After years of wanting to experience Solo Nationals, we made it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Simply put, the old man and I packed the little pony up to the gills with luggage, tools, spare parts and just pointed the thing...

  3. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    End of June update:Unfortunately we have not been racing as much as we hoped due to weather/scheduling up here in the NorthEast (weather cancellations, the whole Taylor Swift thing, and the NJ/NY State Fairs being in town). That being said, the couple of times we have been out with the car...
  4. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    Multi-tire setup was a success!Against popular opinion, we tried running two different tire compounds for this past weekends autocross. Ran a set of low run 315/30/18 Falken RT660s on 18x11 Apex wheels (~40 runs) up front with a fresh set of 295/35/18 Yokohama A052s in the rear.thoughts...

    Spring update 23 updateHave 2 events under my belt this year and the rust is finally starting to wear off, but will circle back to this later in the post.The second part of de-winterizing the car and prepping to for competition use was focused around brakes and rear suspension install...
  6. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    Late Winter 2023 Update:-After 5,000miles of daily commuting in "winter mode" its time to start putting our plan for the 2023 season into action..The car needs a good cleaning, for so little snow NYC used a TON of salt. I'll try and catch everyone up with some updates, upcoming modifications...
  7. SN95 LS3 Pony

    About how many runs are you getting out of a set of A052's? The 295s definitely look happy on the 11 inch wheel. I'm considering taking the plunge but worried about how poorly they will hold up with the lack of rear camber..
  8. Best bleeder screw? Does that exist?

    Looking to replace the bleeders on my s197 4pot brembos and these look great. Does anyone know off hand if the M10x1.0-S 14mm is the correct Stahlbus bleeder for my application?Appreciate any insight, J
  9. Let's Talk Horsepower

    I found myself asking myself a similar question at the end of this autocross season. At 3450lbs with maybe 265whp I could keep pace and beat a lot of higher hp cars on short courses, but on large course with multiple 2-3 shifts I was getting dusted.Given the displacement limitations of the...
  10. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    Congrats! That is no small feat, I don't remember the last time I saw a CAM car take top pax (we live in the hotbed of STR up here)Your run looked super smooth and the tires look like they've got plenty of stick. Based on the behaviors of your car in the video (differences in setup...
  11. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    Sounds like they are working well for your setup so far. Very nice driving/lines on that run, the car looks very composed and visually the turn-in response of the Re71rs looks pretty sharp in the video. Do you feel like that is more attributable to the sidewall/tire construction or the 295...
  12. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    I love them for their initial bite and autocross manners but use them as a summer daily pad (April-November). They dust much less than other pads I used previously (Powerstop track day/porterfield R4S), but definitely more than stock. I got them from @OPMustang Tim along with titanium shims...
  13. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    With the rear aero and Koni shocks/rear boss springs, I was very comfortable to pushing the limits of the car this seasonNever did back to back testing with/without aero but I can tell you the biggest “seat of the pants” difference was how the car drove in high speed slaloms.Overall the car...
  14. S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C
