Big Muscle: modding a 2013 Mustang for track use

They don't go into a ton of detail but the before / after seems pretty dramatic.

Saw that really good episode. They probably spent like 4k plus or so on it. In case anyone was wondering the comments said they had an improvement of about 4 seconds per lap with the mods.

Yeah, I suspect you guys are right.

4 seconds is HUGE especially since they were apparently running the same tires and with no power mods.

So the parts look like they're $4k+ but what would it cost iafter the shop installed and aligned everything? $~6k?

That's a lot of cash...so once again, you pay to play.

Did anyone else roll their eyes at the "fat pig" comments?

Interesting how he was primed to see that the suspension was "bad" and that there was so much room for improvement....so of course, this is exactly what he observed.

I have driven a lot of great handling cars in my life and the Mustang is one of them. Yes, the springs are too soft and the center of gravity is not ideal but it's no pig.
