I'm definitly gonna go to the track this sunday. If you decide to go let me know.
I asked Suzanne, she said she's down. Unless somethin comes up, we'll be there. You know next week is the track rental right?

I know suspension is important dont get me wrong but I had friends that went 11.24 on slicksall day long without touching their suspension. That was with h/c/i and a 200 shot. I went 11.90's without touching my suspension on street tires (cheaters).

So why dump a ton of money in your suspension if the stock suspension can take you into the 11's with no problem?

That doesn't mean you were getting the most out of your car. I've seen a bone stock mustang with 4.10's slicks and 200 shot go 11.70's with a good suspension.

With suspension you get better control, launch, and adjustability.

Well, I didn't dump a ton of money in it. Lets call it preventive maintenence. The car is a 92, 156k on it. Original suspension. The shocks and struts were about 380.00, uppers 130.00. Not a whole lot of money considering what I have tied up in the car.
