Thanks guys! It's not just a spoiler delete, I also have a carbon trunk lid. I'm gonna put a ducktail on it soon. I don't have any slalom specific videos but I do have some autocross videos. Here's a link

I like your car and autocross, but there's nothing in this thread to answer the question you posed: "Who says Mustangs can't handle?"

I was expecting a few autocross wins, trophies....

(You might want to work on your steering wheel hand placement.)

It's and expression, everyone says mustangs are great in a straight line but not around corners, my goal is to disprove that. Sorry to disappoint...

I'm not disappointed. But disproving commonly held beliefs is going to take wins, lap times, comparisons to "good handling" cars, etc.

By the way, I agree that Mustangs can handle. I've got MM full length subframe connectors, MM height adjustable LCAs, H&R SS springs, Tokico Illuminas, and MM CC plates and have had a lot of fun surprising BMW drivers and crotch rocket riders both in southern California and the Rocky Mountains.

I hope you collect a bunch of trophies!

Finally someone else with some common sense! I've been on this kick since I got to college(4 years now). I decided to go with a different route though with the handling pack and went with an 03 Cobra IRS. Hopefully soon my suspension will be rounded out up front with MM k-member and the works up front. Already done the bilstein coilovers, Full Tilt Boogie Racing rear delrin/aluminum bushing kit, and adjustable swaybar endlinks. Rear end is pretty much done. Just need to get the front worked out. But that will get taken care of when I do my engine swap. No sense doing it twice, right?

Just glad to see we have another corner carver amongst us now!
