At the track!!
Time to go through Tech
I think for most people when they saw/see the track map of the Memphis road course they think....looks boring, just one big straight and a couple corners.....
Well have to say..DO NOT judge this book by its cover, this turned out to be a pretty damn fun road course, will definitely try and attend events there whenever possible!
First Session of the Day...my fastest time was a 1:30...well off the fastest times by the Z06's running 1:25's
By the end of the day I had managed to get my time down to 1:20:78 with a passenger on board, the fastest time was a 1:18 for one of the Z06's and a 1:19 by the other supercharged Z06....felling pretty damn good about my times considering I am on street tires, filled with Nitrogen, and have much less HP. Was a great day at the track, these guys put on some of the best events I have ever been too!
5/26
Time to step it up a bit..
JLT CAI, and Brenspeed 93 Octane Tune
Car feels like a different animal...it is VERY responsive off the turns, and is now reving out past 7k
Second session of the day....DRKHRSE...pulls off a 1:18:42!!! Supercharged Z06 is still in the 1:19's.
Long story short....I cant tell you how impressed I am with this car, I knew I had chosen the right parts, and I knew the car was going to be good...but DAMN it was AWESOME. Had a lot of people stop by and give nothing but compliments on the driving and the car. I believe i was the only one with a 2013 at the track. There was a Boss Leguna Seca, and a Roush, along with a Roush engineer at the track as well.
Cant wait to get some sticky tires on this and get it to Barber in October!
Top speed on the straight for me was 142.5, here is the break down of speeds from my AIM Solo

I had the Corbeau already from my previous setup, so it was obviously much cheaper to go that route for me. I have sat in the Recaros, very nice, but have not used them on the track or driven with them, so cant really give you a good assessment as to how good or bad they may be.
The harnesses are bolt in, and the attachment point I used in the rear was the rear seat latch holes.
Folded rear seat down
Removed the latch plate via the 2 screws
Then you can either use one of the factory bolts that you took out of the latch plate....
Or...what really nice is there is another hole back there, that looks like its made just for it!!
Simple bolt, washers and a nylock nut
Couple more videos...

Keep up the good work bro!!! I dont post here mainly other mustang forums but i heard about your build and had to come check it out!!! Very impressive!!! Love seeing a man not afraid to use his new car the way it was made to be!! Do you like your seat over the Racaro factory seats if you have sat in them yet? And where did the harness attach to at the top I didn't see a cage? Keep the updates coming bud I love it!!
