athens7 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Thanks to all who expressed interest, and to those who have been waiting for a resolution of this sale. My car was (USA) born in the middle of America, lived on the east coast, and will now live on the west coast. It is better traveled than I am!

athens7 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 I bedded the brakes in for competition on the Mustang yesterday. This is the first car I have bought from a volume manufacturer that has instructions for preparing your new car for competition use! Next weekend, I am off to the new track at Atlanta Motorsports Park for my first SCCA PDX event. I intend to get my Track Trials license and explore some of the area tracks (Road Atlanta, Roebling, Barber, Carolina Motorsports Park). The Mustang is WAY heavy after the 7, and the steering is very light. Nothing communicates quite like a 7! The Mustang is prodigiously fast, and aerodynamics (obviously) are much better, so higher speeds are a breeze. The rear axle does hop a bit in bumpy corners, but I've got the dampers on the street setting (2 of 5). At the track, I'll be at the firmest setting on a smooth surface; I'm looking forward to seeing how the solid axle responds. I am pleased with how easy it is to feel the rear end rotate on the Mustang, as the 7 spoils one for progressive break away in the rear. It will be nice to be able to carry a little more kit to the track (I don't trailer my cars, and I don't wish the day's boredom on my wife)!

Nick OTeen Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have to count myself as very lucky to be the new caretaker for this incredible car. Here it is soaking up a little southern California sunshine just minutes after coming off the hauler. Athens7 did a fantastic job of sorting, upgrading and maintaining this superb machine. http://oi45.tinypic.com/ut3sn.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I think I can detect a slight smile on your se7en, as if all that Calif sun was agreeing with it:). Congratulations on purchasing one of the primo Cats out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
