Was coming back from a friends house the other night when I came up on these two cars driving side by side, obviously up to no good. One was a BMW M3, other was a late 90s mustang. The stang sounded like it had at least exhaust and a cam, so I cruised next to them for a second to see what they were up to.
They gunned it from about a 30 roll, so I followed suit. The rear end broke loose and shifted into 2nd, and I just ended up fishtailing cause I couldn't hook up. Sure as hell caught those cars by surprise though! Pulled over and chatted with them for a while, got the same 'holy **** what a sleeper' reaction that I usually get
Definitely have traction issues now though! With the meth I'm running 16 degrees of timing with room to grow, and I would have spun all the way through 2nd if I hadn't let out. Future mods are probably going to be a good set of adjustable shocks (looking for suggestions!). A buddy of mine that went for a ride with me said it feels like his 11 second mirada did. Can't wait to run it at the track
I'm hoping to dip into the 12s.

Looking at some different suspension ideas though. Some people manage to get the stock suspension to hook hard as hell, just gotta figure out how and do the same.
