    I'd like to see a smaller and lighter Mustang

    The Subaru Crosstrek is hugely popular. I suspect the focus active will be too.

    Looking for Autocross Tire Advice

    There's "competitively" and then there's competitively. To top the leader board, you either run the rivals 1.5 or the re71r. Interesting point on the difference between tires. On the new spec SSSSC class that requires the falken 615k tires, it is over a second slower on a 60 sec course vs the...

    Looking for Autocross Tire Advice

    All of those would be good. My bridgestone's lasted for a hundred and fifty dry laps and about 6000 Street mile. PS I had to spray the tires with water between runs, especially with 2 drivers

    I'd like to see a smaller and lighter Mustang

    I agree on the trucks. Imagine if they were a little lower, smaller, better frontal area, better aero. For the Mustang, lighter materials cost more and you risk not being affordable to the mainstream which is one of the Mustang strenghts

    Boss 302 tire setup on GT question

    I'm one of those guys running 285 on the 9" track pack wheels. I race and win on them. Is it ideal, no, but I am limited in wheel width in my class. And more tire is always faster. If you are going to buy new wheels, consider 18" . Cheaper tires and better from racing w.r.t. weight and...

    do street tires lose grip as they age?

    its not so much the time as the heat cycles. every time you heat the tire up hot, new sulphur bridges (vulcanization) for in the rubber making it harder. I notice my bridgestone start to get harder in about 6 months, at about 50% wear. but with easy driving, or less often driving, obviously...

    if you like to track or go around corners. square for sure. Also as wide as you can fit. if you are big into drag racing or stoplight, stagger away. heres 285 on 19x9 sqaure on a stock '14 GT track pack

    Why are you sticking with your S197?

    I'm not sticking with my mustang. I bought because i wanted to learn to autox a high powered RWD car (previous was a Ford Focus on slicks). Its been 2 years, I'm consistently in the top 3 PAX at every event I enter, so I think I've learned what I wanted to. next year I'll be racing a lightly...
