We drove in deep, laid into the Brembo brakes (which were enhanced with Steeda slotted rotors and Carbotech race pads), and downshifted to Fourth gear. Man, those brakes are nice! They modulated nicely and had a firm feel. We killed enough speed to cut in towards the apex, and the Steeda G-Trac suspension kept the Mustang flat and controlled. The front is modified from stock with a Steeda adjustable front sway bar with billet endlinks, progressive-rate sport springs, upper strut mount, Extreme G-Trac brace, and Steeda strut tower brace.

We do a lot of slalom and skidpad testing before we ever go to the track,” says Orlando. “Once we feel the package is close, we’ll do road course and sometimes drag testing to dial in the car to our specifications. For instance, with the 2015, there is noticeable movement in the rear bushings, but this is done purposely by Ford to control NVH and to give the Mustang good ride quality. To satisfy the niche market, we engineer parts to eliminate softness and add control for the person who wants a fun car that can perform on track and beat exotic cars that cost way more
