Coil Over Suspension

[Not4you]

LOL....pls don't take the comment stuff the wrong way. Everyone is just trying to input their experience and opinions to help, not jam you.
Judging by your videos, I would say if you were riding a haywagon with R comps, you would likely do well against the troops ...except maybe ZR's Cobra.

Do you really run lap times below 1:30? I seem to recall anything below 1:40 was pretty stout for a street car...on the old track. I didn't time anyone @ Mustangs at Mosport, but is the track faster than before?

I'm curious about this myself. The back of the NASCAR Truck field are lapping slower.

but 400hp + driver + tires = fast laps.

The track is about 2 seconds faster than it was mid-last year. There is no longer a huge crease/ledge/hole to avoid between 2B and 3 and 10 can be taken significantly faster than last year (same deal with the crease/ledge/seam/whatever). Even Moss is better, most people lose about 2 seconds through turn 2 simply because they don't realize it's as fast as it is. Every video I see of people lapping they're in 3rd going into turn 3 (and yes, gear choice is a variable, but very few people run taller gears than I do - 3.55s - in their Mustangs and I'm nowhere near 3rd). One of my videos I actually try 3rd through 3 and the car went sideways because I had to slow down so abruptly into turn 3 because of the gear change.

I'm already at 400+ laps of CTMP so far this year, typically I do about 600-700 laps per season, so I do have a lot of experience.

I don't think I get what you're saying. so what gear do you run between T2 and T3 and what are you in at T3 apex/exit? I typically run 3rd gear from T1 to T5 braking zone at very high rpm ... but then I have 150 less hp so that could make a difference. I have 3.55s as well.

I'm at the top of 4th gear until Moss with 3.55s, Moss and 10 are the only times I use 3rd.

Entry/Apex/Exit in km/h
Turn 1: 160/160/170
Turn 2A-B: 180+/160/170
Turn 3: 120/130/160
Turn 4: 180+/160/170
Turn 5A: 120/100
Turn 5B: 100/120
Turn 5C: 150
Turn 6-7: 180-225
Turn 8: 175/160/130
Turn 9: 130/120/110
Turn 10: 100/115/120

Next track day there will be the guy with the telemetry and I'll see if I can get it setup again so I get video, GPS speed, G's etc.

also see if I can come be a passenger

and yeah, there is a big difference between the gears/speeds with the hp difference.

Ya, of course you can come as a passenger, depending on the weather I'll be there August 19th. I'll have the new suspension in so it's more of a tuning day but I'm sure there will be a few laps that I let it hang

The grip is the scary part. It's not necessarily a "fast" car, it's just immense the amount of grip the 315s out back give.

how do you mean?

[tulowd]

how do you mean?

good street tires might get you 1.0 g's or thereabouts on a flat corner. R comps maybe 1.3....
race rubber, can get closer to 2g's if there is enough heat in them.


aka; I'm thinking he's not running G/60/15 bias ply's on the car, lol
