how ironic...when you first get your mustang, you want to spin your tires. When you start racing it at the track, you'd do anything possible to KEEP them from spinning (hell I spent $314 on nittos a few weeks ago and just dropped another $407 on some mickeys for this exact reason)...
...anyway, once you get it figured out, get a trak-lok rear so it at least looks cool lol...

 

Buy a "LINE LOCK "

 

Forgive the noobish question here (and the semi-hijack) - but when you go to the track, don't you have to spin your tires before you get up to the front to race? I was reading a newbie guide on one of the tracks websites here in AZ, and it seemed to indicate that you did. Or am I thinking of something else?

 

well it depends. if ur running slicks, yeah you go into the WATER box and smoke the tires a bit to heat em up so u get better traction. if ur running street tires you do a quick spin, no smoke, just to clean them off. and DONT go into the water box.

 

^^^ on street tires (which are pointless at the track), just spin them a couple times to get any dirt etc off the tires (DO NOT USE THE WATER BOX GO AROUND IT). Warming up street tires is pointless. For drag radials and slicks, yes you heat them up so they'll stick, the softer the rubber compound is, the less time you have to spend heating them up and at less of a mph also. My nittos are very hard and require a super-long burnout at about 50mph, as opposed to my on-order mickeys which are softer and should require a short burnout at maybe 30mph.

 

haha... dont say that, someone on here will believe you... i can seeit now..."i dont remember where, but i read about a kit that convert the v6 toa v8... anyone heard of that?"

 

^^^ there is a kit...it's called a long block lol...

 

Turn the TCS off and press the gas while applying the brake then slightly release the brakeuntil the rear wheels break loose. I'm thinking only one wheel will spin in the 6er if I recall correctly. No posi track on the V6 model.

 

BeeStang, what kind of headlights are those?

 

They are the OEM style with the chrome insert/buckets. I'm not sure if I like them, as they just don't look right IMO. I'm thinking of switching them back to Black.

Sorry for the hijack fellas!
