The mighty 5. 0L Coyote V8 is still king of the Mustangs, and with a few parts, you can keep it that way and get big power gains Free Shipping Click or Call 1877. Beginning here and continuing for the next few months, Ill tell the story of my race car buildup an 8. Mustang GT built to run in the National Auto Sports Associations Camaro Mustang Challenge series and use it to test some products that should be of interest even if youre not a road race guy. As this is written, the car is 9. I sure have learned a lot in the 1. I expected. But the satisfaction of actually taking it out and pounding it on the track outweighs all the long hours and work that went into it. I approached this buildup as a typical gearheadweekend wrencher. Ive never worked professionally on cars, let alone high end race cars, but Ive had my share of beaters and project cars. In other words, I really had no idea what I was getting into when I got hooked. Like many converts from drag racing, I got bit by the road racing bug or as some call it, the go fast crack pipe a few years ago after attending my first open track event. Open tracking is a road racing activity akin to the test n tune sessions at your local dragstrip. Anybody with a car that meets basic safety criteria can show up and run and hopefully not wad their car up into a little ball. I took another hit from the pipe at the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, but it took a couple of years to get the gumption to build a car for actual wheel to wheel racing. Ged Program Ocala Fl. I was attracted to NASA and CMC www. First, NASA hosts numerous events at tracks nationwide, and the groups High Performance Driving Experience open track program lets newbies progress through the ranks as their skills grow. I picked CMC for its low buck, entry level appeal. Camaro Mustang Challenge was formed in the mid 9. Gt Racing 97' title='Gt Racing 97' />SCCAs American Sedan class and split off to form their own series, which is open to 7. Mustangs and 8. 3 9. Camaros and Firebirds. Its a step below NASAs American Iron and American Iron Extreme classes, but theres a lot of similarity between the cars and they run together at most NASA races. What CMC offers in spades is competitive, driver oriented, wheel to wheel racing among closely matched V 8 powered Pony cars. The rules attempt to keep the racing close and the costs low, and they limit modifications to mostly off the shelf suspension components, minor engine mods, spec Toyo Proxes RA 1 tires, and safety equipment. CMC cars are limited to a dyno verified 2. My 8. 4 GTs carbureted 5. L V 8 can be upgraded to a 6. Edelbrock Performer intake, both of which are listed as spec parts. Non stock headers are not allowed, but the exhaust system is unlimited. The first, best bit of advice any newbie who wants to build a race car gets from experienced racers is to not build one at all. The cheaper, easier, and faster way to actually get out onto the track is to buy someone elses used race car, mainly because they sell for pennies on the dollar compared to their initial cost. Its generally cheaper to modify an existing car than to build one from scratch, though the downside is the risk of inheriting a bunch of unseen problems. Used CMC race cars typically sell for 5,0. Of course, buying a turnkey car also means a big outlay of cash at the start, and even though it may be cheaper in the long run, for many its easier to budget a project over a period of months or years. I chose to build my CMC racer from scratch mainly because I wanted to do it myself. I know the ins and outs of every nut and bolt because I installed almost all of them myself, and the only person to blame for any corners that were cut, and Ill admit there were a few, is me. My race car odyssey began during a trip to the junkyard where, among the detritus of front drive imports and minivans for auction, was a surprisingly clean red 8. Mustang GT with a carbureted 5. L V 8 and five speed manual transmission. The engine fired right up and sounded strong, and there was no external damage or other indication why the car would have been junked. So a few days later I waited for the bidding to reach the Mustang, twelfth in line that morning. I raised my hand to place the 5. As I was contemplating just how high Id go at least 7. Any more bids and three seconds of silence later, I owned my red racing car for the screaming deal of 5. As it turned out, the power brake booster was shot, as were the interior, brakes, and shocks, but that was all stuff Id be tossing out anyway. But the paint was decent, the body was straight, and most importantly, the engine and trans were in great shape. There are two basic ways to build a race car from a running street car Convert it piece by piece or strip it to a bare shell and start from scratch. I chose the first option because it seemed less daunting to work on one part of the project at a time, and it also allowed the car to progress in stages so I felt like I was accomplishing something rather than tearing it completely apart and facing the scary prospect that it would never get finished. Im glad I chose that route, because I was able to drive the car at several track events once the basic suspension and brake parts were installed, but before all the final details were complete. On the other hand, the car would have turned out nicer if I had stripped it to a shell, had the rollcage installed, painted the inside of the tub, and then put everything together. But it probably wouldnt be even close to done by now. Future installments will delve into dialing in the suspension and brakes, but for starters, it made sense to get as many of the necessary components from single sources as possible. And as it turned out, there was an easy one stop choice for the suspension Maximum Motorsports. Maximum has been in the Mustang suspension business since the early 9. K member package for serious open track and American Iron cars. The companys midrange Road Track Box, which retails for about 2,5. Panhard bar, and other components, fits the CMC rules perfectly. I upgraded the supplied Bilstein shocks to Koni double adjustable Sport shocks and the softer H R Race springs to the stiffest Super Race coils, but otherwise the basic package is identical to that supplied for thousands of daily driver Mustangs. The brakes were also an easy choice. Since the CMC brake rules, which limit cars to 1. American Sedan, I knew right where to turn Baer Racings A Sedan spec brake package. In the front, its basically Baers Track system with 1 inch smaller rotors and modified caliper mounting brackets the rear system is a 1. Sport setup with PBR single piston calipers. Backed by many days of research on the Internet, in magazines and books, and in phone calls for tech support, bolting on the suspension and brake parts took several full weekends and incorporated trips to junkyards and parts stores plus a few e. Bay scores. The mods ranged from the commonplace, such as converting the brakes to five lug with SN9. I expected and a newer steering rack that required a little bit of finagling to fit. After the first round of bolt on modifications, my future CMC racer was driveable on the track, if not the street, but as its maiden debut at a NASA HPDE event at Buttonwillow Raceway revealed, it was a hellish handful.
