What do you do when your Stang goes down...

two days before your first visit to Watkin's Glen?

You take the company car. Check out the left front tire in the second pic.

That is awesome. Pretty nice company car, too...wow!

What do you do?

 

[Bingo]

Nice...what happened to the Mustang?

 

[Jaylee]

That's way better than my company vehicle. I have to drive an F-550 with an 11' bed on it. It probably wouldn't do so well at the track.

what company gives that???

Nice...what happened to the Mustang?

Severe vibration at 2500 RPM. Possible motor mount issue...hoping it's not internal.

Alright, it's my company.

That's right Paul, come clean about your company and who makes the decisions on the company car, lol! Looks like you had fun. I am down and out with another trans failure.

I'm still chasing bad vibes. Installed new motor mounts today. Same. Engine vibrates from about 2300-5000 RPM standing still. Flywheel and clutch are brand new. Folks are telling me the balancer is likely culprit. I'm ordering an ATI unit on Monday.

Gotta say kudos to Audi. I haven't been a big fan of this car but it impressed me on the track. 3700#, 265 HP (about 210 to 4 wheels). Very linear and predictable. I got by some M3's, 911, Vettes, and a SN95. Obviously this run group was a little green.

The car is very nose heavy so I used understeer and tire scrub to slow down since my brakes had turned to ashes by second day.
