So......a long long time ago I spent a bunch of time here. And then I didn’t (long story)

Well I’m pretty much set on the idea I’m going to be autocrossing a 4th gen again.

So what has changed?

Some things I’ve found already:
Tires are drastically more expensive
Available “good” r compound options are even more limited
Street prepared has some allowances I would have liked to have way back when
The “newer cars” have taken over ESP
Wheels have gone up in price. I think I only paid $400-450/wheel for CCW’s

CAM C looks like a class that I’d probably run in “most” of the time just for the participation.


What else has changed in 10 years LOL

What is an M29?

The mustang runs without a backseat because of an update/backdate allowance

The M29 was a T56 that had gearing that was "shorter" (similar to the C5 Z06 instead of the standard T56, but I believe it was slightly different gearing). It has a lower torque rating, but more "gear".

Right but that only works with an LT1/LT4
