I set up my car for fun street driving. I care more about the trap speed, power curve, and ride quality. I chose a much lighter car for a launch pad warrior.
yea... that is what I am trying to do... but why not have a fun street car with good suspension... some people complain that the ride is worse with a solid bo freaking who. you bought a mustang not a cadillac... besides its not much harshier you just feel the bumps a little more. I can see keeping the irs if you are into autocross but swaping to solid was just worth it to get rid of wheelhop imo. and I know some will argue you can get rid of wheel hop in irs but at what cost? more than it would cost you to build a bullet proof solid! and you will lose weight with a solid!
I duno I just dont understand people that just spend money only on horsepower... IMO a little horsepower, a lot of suspension, and weight reduction will whoop up on a lot of horsepower with stock suspension and stock weight! but thats just my opinion and I am not trying to flame on anyone with whipple kb etc. those are freaking sweet.... I am just wondering why some people dont do any suspension or weight reduction I mean its cheaper!
