I get a kick out of articles like this. One article goes on and on about how nimble the 2011 GT is and then this article says "the stock Mustang GT feels powerful but a tad heavy-handed, this car feels downright nimble", just don't know about these magazine guys.

First and foremost this car is NOT an autocross car, it was built for road racing. I know both turn corners but the car setup could not be more different. The car is campained in NASA (National Autosport Association) in Time Trials. I am not a "casual track guy" as one commenter posted, thats why its prepared the way it is. This combination of parts was choosen after years of experience by Rehagen Racing and thats why not everything came from one vender. The car was built to the rule book so thats why you dont see things like a Watts link etc.
Secondly, the brake pads listed say -track, meaning I only use them at the track and NOT on the street. Also the different pad compounds is ON PURPOSE to help with car balance in trail braking.
The track tires are Hoosier A6's on Roush Trak Pak Forged 18x10's on all four corners.
Third, I would have loved an IRS as well, but you will not believe how this car handles on track until you get a ride. You can comment on the internet about how bad the solid axle is, but I have the time sheets to show you it FLY's
Thank you for the kind words everyone.
