Cool

Corners are the way to go. I bought my mustang so that I could take corners fast, not drive fast and straight. There's nothing like being able to got through a corner posted at 35 at 75-80 mph, or taking a set of S's posted at 40 at 70, and not have to fight to keep the car out of the grass! I've lowered mine with Eibach progressive rated springs, and have -1.8 degrees of camber on the front end. Now to add some new struts, and a new rack-and-pinion (15:1) and she'll really turn the corners.

Also, imouer, I'm currently in Norfolk, but lived in upstate NY, there's a place in PA that does 4 pt cages pretty reasonably, I don't have one yet, but am looking to get one, will try to find out where in PA the place is.

Cool

Taking corners fast is the reason I bought my 91 LX. My brother got me hooked on the SCCA Solo II AutoX. I've found that I can incorporate what I've learned on the track ie how fast I can take a corner and still have the rear-end behind me rather than beside me, and it tends to cause less problems than launching at a green light in terms of police.
