The latest 5-part entry into the massive S550/S650 Development forum thread covers work we did on our 2015 Mustang Time Attack Car we call #Trigger in the first third of 2024. Yes we know, we’re behind, but these entries are massive undertakings with hundreds of images and videos, and tens of thousands of words. You can catch up with what we have written starting here.
We cover in detail the addition of a roll cage, carbon widebody fenders, and massive 18×13.5″ wheels and 345mm Hoosiers to the existing setup, which included 315mm A052 “200TW” tires on 18×12″ wheels. There was also a Haltech based adjustable traction control system that Billy at Rapscallion Motorsports added and helped dial in.
Ever wondered what it took to add massive tires? The flare addition is the easy part – the REAL work is underneath the flares! We show this step-by-step in exhaustive detail starting in the latest forum build thread entry.
In the first 4 months of 2024 with this car we fought with front end lift, added vents in numerous places, had faulty clutches, wore out some synchros, cheap coils, a bad starter, chased an ABS fault, tires rubbed, and we did a bunch of track tests and competitions. It wasn’t all bad, as there were some wins, and more wins followed later in 2024 – which we will cover next time. Again, you can read the latest entries here – thanks for reading!
