Last track day before winter… what’s everyone doing?

@Derrick
It sounds like you’re dialing it in nicely! What diff are you thinking of upgrading to?

How are your IATs holding up? Did you add any cooling mods?

No cooling mods yet. It was about 5°C during the event, so the car stayed cool and consistent. On hotter days, I do notice some timing gets pulled, but there’s still plenty of power. I haven’t logged IATs, though.

I’m not a huge fan of the 197 body style, but your pics in motion make it look so much better. Why is that? Pic 1 and 2 look awesome, but pic 3… not so much. Do certain cars just look better moving?

I know what you mean. Some cars and even performance boats look way better in motion than parked. It’s a funny thing for enthusiasts.

What’s wrong with the S197s? I love mine.

I think it’s just personal taste. I prefer aggressive front ends like the SN95 facelift or S550 over the more square look of the 05s. I love all Mustangs, though—anything someone clearly puts time into deserves respect. Your car looks awesome!

I feel the same, but the 2013 facelift S197s look amazing. Not a fan of the pre-2011 models.
