Track day pics

Ok, so I was in a car and not on the SV, but what a car!!

A very, very good friend of mine invited me along to Snetterton on Saturday to have a play with his new toy - some pics below

The car starts out as a standard Mustang GT, before Saleen get hold of it & whack a dirty great supercharger in it

4.6 litre, supercharged V8 - power somewhere in the region of 500bhp.

Add a live rear axle and a VERY wet track into the mix & the result is pretty lairy, lots of (mostly unintentional) sideways action. Going down the back straight we were still getting wheelspin in a straight line - at about 90mph!

(I've had to just post links to the pics as the photographer's website doesn't allow direct linking to the images)

Lovely motor... Would love one myself.

The pug behind seems to be keeping up surprisingly well considering.... Still I suppose it was raining......

You lucky bugger, I love big muscle cars and the Mustang is at the top of the list.

A 106 Rallye/Gti with a reasonable suspension setup will pretty much keep up with anything in the corners with a decent driver behind the wheel.

So when a guy is borrowing his mates 'american car' which are renowned for not really going around corners even with £10000 worth of after market suspension it not really a suprise at all lol.

Got to say the mustangs are not my things at all. Must have been fun a right laugh though.

That Pug was lightning fast in the bends, we followed him into the 1st corner after the pit straight a couple of times and he didn't brake AT ALL He did get it VERY wrong at one point though and very nearly wrote off his car. I never found out what edition of 106 it was but it was heavily modified anyway...

And you're right, it was a right laugh!
