hey everyone. As many of you know I have my 95 that is a trailer queen for track and autocross use. right now I'm about to deploy (again) and am mulling around in my head a few new ideas. I have 3 of them and need help choosing. Now keep in mind the reason some of these choices are tough is because they will require a lot of time and saving money to complete as my goal would be for the car to be competitive.
Option A - Keep the 95 for open track use and for redline time attack use. Project estimated completion (2-3 years)
What the car would need -
- Finish the rear suspension (i.e. some sort of pml3, or watts link, or steeda 5 link.
- MM tubular K-member
- 4 or 6 piston front brake setup
- Aero - i.e. front splitter and some sort of rear spoiler or wing
- Motor, Dart block 331 stroker more than likely
- Rebuild rearend
Option B - Keep 95 for good and slowly build for SCCA Autocross C-Prepared class. Est. completion (3-5 years)
What it would need -
- All of the above ^^
- Different gearing for autocross competition
- Serious fender flares
- 18x11in wheels on all 4 corners (at the very least!)
- 315's on all 4 corners at the very least
Option C - Sell 95, sell truck and trailer. Purchase 2011-2014 Mustang GT track pack preferably. Use as daily but also run in SCCA Autocross E Street Prepared class and sometimes occasional track use. Est completion (1-2 years)
* Basically for this one I would love for it to be an awesome daily but still know I can be competitive in Autox too.
What it would need -
- Still need to be streetable as it would be a daily driven car.
- Suspension mods front and rear (coilovers, panhard bar) all within rules of course
- Full exhaust and minor bolt ons
- Dedicated autocross set of wheels/tires
- Aero (quick change front splitter and rear spoiler setup.
so that's it, I need help choosing. Right now I'm leaning towards Option C!
