Default Corners very well 2

Sorry, I posted much too soon. I autocrossed my 06 Pony and did rather well. I have raced twice and beat some older Mustang GTs. Some were race prepared and some were running race tires and some were stock. There is a lot to do with driving experience, but I was happy. My pony is totally stock. I was able to match and beat Subaru WRXs. They placed me in G stock and I won the class. Some could not belive the I had "just a six cylinder", particularly when I burned out a little too agressivly on my first launch (which does not help your times). The car is no slouch and I made a lot of new freinds. Of course there were sugestions about race tires, new springs and bushings to make it handle better. (If I had a lot of $) I did find that if you charge the corners too hard the front will develop a understeer, but when you get it right you can and the rear out and had plenty of power to hold it. I blew it and spun out, which killed the run but was a blast. My co-worker and freind Myke D. has a beautiful 98 Cobra beat me by a mere 2 seconds, but I still can beat his wife in the same car. I plan to race againg this Sunday. It is adictive! Try it, You will like it and the new "little" Stangs do alright

That is one thing with the sixes, they are not bad at handling due to a pretty close wieght front to back ratio.
