3:22 OMG THAT'S ME

[@rogersxthat]

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks guys!

[@steedaautosports]

Our pleasure!

[@ZackNakazora1]

Buy ecoboost with 3.55 diff. Stab on factory 19x9 wheels and shove on 255 re71r and add a front awya bar. Take out all the DS guys to pound town

[@trustin2705]

Did my 1st solo scca this year can not wait for more!

[@2slow5oh]

So what do you do first time. Because I’m planning on doing it but don’t really know what to do

[@aavalos7760]

Thank you for this, Steeda! I'm hoping to go to my first event later this month at Thunderhill in CA. My Si may not be fast or best handling, but I'm excited to learn and get better with it!

[@steedaautosports]

Let us know how it goes! -Chris

[@o-whata-knife3119]

Dont have a mustang but the cone help is exactly what I am looking for since its going to be my first autocross in Walbridge Ohio this up coming weekend. Thank you 😊

[@steedaautosports]

Good luck! We would love to hear how it went!

[@JohnSmith-wx9wj]

Well, did you ever go?

[@o-whata-knife3119]

It was great! I’m hooked but now my wife said I can’t use my Eclipse until I get another daily driver so im not left stranded… I ended up in 8th my first time out then the next race I went to I got 4th!

[@bannerrj41]

Great content. I’m going auto crossing with my Shelby gt350 in a couple of weeks

[@hatifawan9055]

Just bought ☝️

[@Crawlerworkz2023]

You bought junk at a premium

[@ll.7927]

@@Crawlerworkz2023 lol this dude is a loser. How u just randomly hating on a Car

[@jeffdouglass5107]

Great content!! I'm a rookie when it comes to autocross, I have a 19 GT/CS that I've been setting up, so far from Steeda I have the front and rear adjustable sway bars and end links, adjustable struts with Steeda progressive rate lowering springs and on the rear i have adjustable shocks with the billet top shock mount. Also, the car has a Roush cai and a bama tune. I know this is gonna put me in a higher class but thats ok because it's gonna push me to get better. Next up will be tires and rims and the Steeda short throw shifter, if you have any suggestions as far as tires and rims I'm all ears. Once again thanks for all the great content.

[@steedaautosports]

Hey Jeff - That's all awesome! Happy to hear you're interested in getting involved in autocross. I promise you, it's highly addictive! In terms of your current setup, if you were to stay within a max width of 285mm on tires, you'll land yourself in STU. Any wider, and you'll probably have to make the jump to CAM-C. As for wheels & tires, it really boils down to what goals you have with the car. If it's mostly a street car, plenty of people run 20" street tires for the occasional autocross event. However if you're more serious, then an 18" or 19" setup might be better. Give our sales staff a ring at 1-800-950-0774 and they'll be happy to guide you in the right direction! -Chris

[@dannycoots9503]

Thank you that helps a lot I did not know about the pointer cones

[@leonardoaragones2738]

Thank you for showing us

[@Dmonsalve16]

Thanks for the info and very detailed!

[@kaplanmb]

Nice work

[@dcarden3031]

Great. Video

[@ZackNakazora1]

I can't race my v6 in any stock class anymore. It's got a full gt350 suspension conversion. Including ford's toe arms and it's got massive wheels on it. But cam..... There's a party waiting to happen. And like we say in the San Diego region. If you race in CAM. You won't ever lose.

[@andyshakin]

Can't wait to get my 2020 GT500 on the track

[@steedaautosports]

Let us know how it performs! -Chris

[@juliocarrillo3536]

Nice 👍🏻

[@elbarosa2084]

Hola steeda friends

[@SPEEDSPENCER606]

Or all of them can be in CAM-C

[@steedaautosports]

Very true - but CAM-C can be quite competitive, especially if you move past a regional level. -Chris

[@pablorvelazquez-dejesus358]

ecoboost looks alive and nimble future miata

[@danielcamacho1913]

Hahaha, it's 1000 lbs heavier than a Miata and has no steering feel.

[@mattjones1378]

Has any volunteer worker ever gotten run overed by an out of control car? especially when a mustang is on the course.

[@timscheuermann2554]

wrecking into innocent bystanders not covered?

[@drfaticus]

A track event would be much better

[@steedaautosports]

It's on our list! For a lot of people, autocross is the gateway into track events. Trying to support all bases here - thanks for the feedback! -Chris

[@ZackNakazora1]

It's a 60 buck weekend day and you car relatively needs little prep. A track day can cost starting at 150 to 300 and if you add insurance you still need to consider if your car needs better brakes and an oil cooler. Lotta these cars these days don't last the full 20 min sessions.

[@SoundBoy808]

@@ZackNakazora1 yes exactly. Autocross is less expensive, less demanding on the car, lower speeds and less sustained driving, so its a GREAT way to start AND its actually real racing, so its competitive fun. Track days are a different matter. Also great fun, but very different in many ways not least in the effect on your car and wallet!

[@juntin810]

but in a track day you won’t know who beat who..

[@Crawlerworkz2023]

Step 1. Sell the mustang and literally just buy anything that isn’t a mustang. 👍
