As a group we're disappointed that one of our 8 cars didn't get on the podium though. Top car finished 4th.

My team finished 31st. Not bad considering our only goal was just to finish. All new drivers to GA and not much of a budget. They were very excited to finish the race running and everything on my side went very smoothly. The continental cars are very close to the street cars. Jack Jr's car is being repaired at the local Ford dealership and the engine is just the production coyote 5.0 with some tuning.

If it has to be a V6, don't get a mustang. The v8's weren't fast, but it would be cool for a car in HS. I mean a modern camry or accord will have more power than a early-mid 90s GT. Tell your wife that.

The journey commercials are terrible.

I hate hate hate that style of spring compressor.

Only part that's gay will be his team owner.

Interesting, a camaro owner ripping on mustang owners. I always thought most of the stereotypes can easily be applied to both groups.

I get paid to work on race cars??

Can the large waffle towels be bought at any of the bigger stores. I've never seen them at autozone, advanced, etc...

No it's from washing. The worst areas are roof, hood, trunk lid. How about those soaps that don't require much drying? Any good? I'll try the leaf blower thing, but my leaf blower is an attachment on my trimmer so it will less than ideal.

I do plan on getting a truck soon but that's beside the point. These aren't swirl marks that you'd expect to get over time. They are full on scratches you can feel. They are 100 % self induced and I need to figure out why. I've only washed it 5-6 times and it already needs some major work to restore the clear coat so I'm doing something wrong.

So I'm trying to keep the paint on my car as perfect as possible. I know as long as I daily drive it that will be an uphill battle. What I'm have issues with is clear coat scratches. I thought I was doing everything right, but I already have a ton of these things. Deep enough to catch with my nail. I believe I did it when I was either washing or drying. They are straight and not circular like when I wax and wipe. What the hell can I do to limit these scratches. I already do the two bucket wash with the catch at the bottom. Always use a freshly washed mit and anything that hits the ground gets thrown away. Clean absorber to dry. Meguires tech wax soap and gold class wax. When I'm done the horizontal surface aren't even that smooth. Sides are very smooth. Seems like the clear coat is way more prone to scratching than my last car. Don't get me wrong the car looks great, but at certain angles you can see the little scratches. Kinda bothers me. I plan on getting someone reputable to machine polish it after the winter to start over. I don't want to fuck it up again. I'm thinking about clay barring it in the meantime to see if I can get it smoother. Oh and here's a pic from the last cars and coffee. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs054.ash2/36047_458096097224_515552224_4993816_4002360_n.jpg

Poor 2010 mustang . It would have been worse if it had the 6 spd. And option gears.

I have a similar setup (playseat, G25, 7.2 SS) except in front of a 1080p projector and 105" screen. I win.

No RS, no care.

Seen some of their cars in person. Shit is bananas.

Is it wrong that I thought we might be talking about a cam???

I'm all for this... with a fucking warrant.

Are these wheels hot or not. http://www.wreckedmagazine.com/images/wallpaper/2011FordMustangRTR.KonaBlue.SideShot.1024x768.Wallpaper.jpg They're pretty cheap and I need some different wheels for a big brake kit.

BTW I can't wait for the Boss. It should shit all over the M3 at the track. Adjustable dampers will fix their main complaint.

Anthony Gray? Who is that?

It can't be that bad in the snow. Get some winter tires and you'll be fine. Somebody the other day asked me if it was difficult to drive in the rain. I just gave him the WTF looks.

The 40k is with every option to get it as close to the M3 as possible. A base GT with brembo package and 3.73s will perform just as well at 29-30k. A gt premium with brembos and gear will be ~33k. Quite a bargain if you ask me.

But you get both done in .8 hours and move on. Works the same for most things. Buy one valve spring it's 20 bucks. By a set of 16 it's 250 bucks. They all cost the same to make. We may charge $25k for the initial testing. $10k after that. Once the engine is instrumented and mounted, further testing is not as costly.

Yeah, but they were charging him like they put him under and opened and closed him three times.
