Oh OK, gotcha.


If you go with them to Dragging Right's in June, maybe I'll meet you then.

Talking out your *** again I see. There is nowhere 300lb of holes out of my car.......idiot. Realistically, 30-35lb at the most. My bumper supports are far more substantial than the aftermarket ones you buy.

Damn......according to these guys you just found a pic of my car.

One of these days I would love to disassemble my whole car and deflange it. Then stitch weld the seams(that make for a stout unibody) and make a couple replacement panels out of carbon and glue in. It would be a lot of effort but it could possibly make it to the real low 2800's and still be a completely functioning dd. I would probably repaint it 1970 Citrus green. The cool factor would be threw the roof then too.

It's a $19.99 mod that lowers the clutch pedal to where its even with the brake pedal. Took way too much travel out of the clutch and made it seem tighter.

I never liked Mustang pedal placement much. But $20 for that **** is nuts. Looks like something I would make for free and you guys would then make fun of me...lol

With the quirks my system has I prefer the hydraulic GM crap over the stuff ford gave you guys. Am I alone in that or do you guys actually like that system?

I agree, I broke a few cobra clutch cables back in the day. Than again probably wasn't adjusted right lol. I also hated the slave in the fbody and not being able to shift into 4th at high rpms. Ofc until I got a aftermarket slave solve the problem.

Their system sucks. Hydraulic would be a big improvement.

That's not a slave problem. That would be a band aide to fix the problem though.

I think GM is more comfortable for day to day use, but to me has always felt a little too long on the throws for the track. A decent STS in a 3650 is pretty slick though, centers back up nicely, very short throws, etc. Both leave a lot to be desired of course.
