RE: Turning Radius
Turn the wheel all the way to the direction you want to turn, and slam the gas. Maybe you can break the tires loose and do half a doughnut, lol. Other than that, no, you're pretty much stuck with the turn radius. A Mustang is a straight line car anyway.

This is scary because I was thinking the same thing...lol I was going to also suggest a t-lock, then that rear end will spin around like crazy.

RE: Turning Radius
Flaming River makes a 2 1/2 turn quick ratio power rack to replace your sh!tastic 23 3/4 turn rack. Its a few hundred bux and worth every penny.
Now that doesnt really help the turning radious but it gets it done quicker.
I cant remember what camber/toe will help you turn but you can have a shop do it for you. Upgrade that front suspension with a kit from Maximum Motorsports and that will help a lot more too, make it tight and exact. MM can answer your questions in every detail.

What's even scarier is that we've agreed on two things in a row without bickering. Quick, someone post something we won't agree on, so things can go back to normal.
