I haven't been following this year, but that is good to hear. Aschenbach won in a Camaro last year and as far as I can remember the closest mustang was like 3-400pts back. There was another Camaro in the top 5 as well from my memory. It was not really common to see mustangs at the front of GTS.
BTW,
The skepticism was very well deserved. Steeda has clarified that there statement was based on prior experience with IRS Mustangs.
What a colossal bag of douches.
Okay... Then how about the Corvette? The C7 has a 1.2" wider rear than front. The F80 M3/4 with a 1" wider rear.
Plenty of the best handling cars have wider rears than fronts... There are so many other factors involved in handling balance, having a rear that is 0.8" wider on each side is not...
There is a variance of weight in existing Mustangs... So if they had one single car it could be 200lbs heavier than some and near 300 for others.
I understand the skepticism... If Steeda is basing this on a weighed car I'm not sure why they would lie. But I don't see an actual quote or source...
IRS adds weight. The imprecise 2-300# could be attributable to the fact that different trims weight more and less (V6, GT, Premium, Track Pack).
Secondly the car is wider, and longer. The chassis is absolutely not a carry over.
I want it to way the same or less. Usually when there is something...
This is pretty much the response Yahoo gave its users when Google rolled out and people thought their search was now shitty in comparison.
Turns out, no, there are just better search algorithms.
People should use search...
The vBulletin search that is available on this forum is a fucking abortion.

I don't particularly care how threads like this are handled, but the search on this forum sucks. I use it. I...
Any chance you know anyone with a decibel meter? I have been thinking about getting exhaust, but most tracks in Northern California have relatively low db limits (Laguna being the worst at ~90-93db).
Also any audio of the new exhaust would be awesome.
kcbrown,
Your calculations are reasonably spot on but you are neglecting one of the more important aspects of why claims of 30tq increases are ridiculous.
Only a small amount of the torque that is applied to rotate the driveshaft is lost through vibration, heat, etc. The rest of it is...
