6.80s at around 103mph with the clutch slipping bad..... Just pulled the trans lastnight and found the flywheel to look like this.
Toast anyone?
Im willing to bet that clutch setup was under par..lol.
If you find yourself at the track often, a controlled slipping clutch is desirable. It takes most of the abuse and engine rpm stay were it needs to be. Although a true set up is going to run $2000, itll last a full season.

I would say the car is 85% at the track. Ordered a spec 3+ just now. They are rated at 875ft lbs. We will see how that goes. Kinda excited to see what the car can really do with a grippy clutch

Took the mustang to a local no prep track event. I ran stick shift class and made it all the way to the finals. Missed second on the final race and coasted by but really happy how the car is performing. Ran my fastest pass yet 6.6 @103mph

Closest 1/4mi is roughly 3hrs away. I do plan on going to one this year yet.

Thanks! I did get a bye run the first round but there were a couple fast cars I had to make it through to make the finals.

Very nice but I missed the burnout part. I love how your car sounds when it’s going wild and burning out.
