It probably won't give you quite as much warning, and you'll be somewhat closer to the limit when it does. It'll be more sensitive to "steering with the throttle", so you'll have to be a bit more cautious - particularly on wet pavement - than you're accustomed to being.

I'd suggest trying it out at an autocross just to find out where the limits are under conditions of very low risk. www.autox4u.com has a regional schedule. There is an event tomorrow at the Meadowlands (NNJR), and there are a few others coming up with NNJR at the little Englishtown road course and with Philly Region at Warminster (old airfield, slightly north of Philadelphia proper and "above" the PA Turnpike).


You may want to install a GT front bar, sourced either from places like NTO or by private sale from some GT owner who has moved up to aftermarket bars and is looking to dispose of the OE stuff. That'll bring the balance of front to rear roll stiffness back closer to what you're used to and tighten the handling up a bit. You may still gain front tire grip.

Thanks Norm... yeah, the throttle steer on wet roads applies... though I'm seldom in TCS OFF mode. Could also be due to the marginality of the rear tires. I'll put the front GT swaybar on the list as well.

Delaware Twp., NJ.... Hmmm... I used to live in Columbia, NJ... just north of Delaware, NJ... which was actually a part of Knowlton Twp.

Currently.... in Delaware Twp. PA. Pike County which is the northern end of the Poconos actually.

Oddly enough... I'm just not familiar with Delaware Twp., NJ. What county is that?

Norm Peterson

Camden County. It's the name that the township used to go by, dating back into the mid-1800's, before that other place stole the name "Delaware" and the post office sided with them. Been called Cherry Hill since 1961.

OK, I figured South Jersey what with references to such places as RrrrrrrrACEWAY PARK! ;-)

Home of mad speed, stomping gounds of Ace Manzo and countless flea marketeers as I recall.

In fact... I recall playing Little League Ball on MANZO field in 1969

Damn.... that was a long time ago.

Thanks for all the posts. I'm off to NTO land once again... rear GT shocks... and believe it or not, I've worn an hole in my driver side floormat..... :-S

The search function works extremely well.
I would highly recommend it to anyone considering the mod.

My first mod was a rear sway. Steeda one with the bushings. It made the car go from "truck-like" handling to something near a sports car. It is still the best mod you can do for a Mustang.
