Very cool! Not often you see a convertible Mustang out there ripping up the pavement.

Now I don't have too much autocross experience, but doesn't a cone wedged under the front right tire reduce grip a bit?? :D

What tires you running there?

Ehhh it popped out after a few seconds. The tires are Toyo Proxies RA1's 275 all around. The convertible is actually extremely stable because of the extra chassis stiffening it has stock. I Was throughly surprised. :nice:

You must be generating tons of grip, that's some pretty impressive body roll (that rear hiking up looks like it might just reach orbit!). Are you in a completely stock class? I noticed you list it as bone stock, be curious to see how a set of stiffer bars would help.

Yep stock class. I have done nothing to that one. My 99 is typically the car I use but its not running as of right now.

Well I had another race again today. It was a blast. Finished 17th in raw time and 12th in pax and won my class. It was a lot of fun.

Here are some of the pictures I took, which wasn't very many. Hoping to get some more pictures but here is what I got.

Morgan, ZR1, Mustang convertible, 80s civic....which of these don't fit? :jester:

Nice variety out there!

Yea there usually is. Needless to say I got beat by all of them except the cobra and camaro.
