Ry,Ry,Ry. A "hero lap", as you've so willingly participated in that egregiously long (200 pages) and repetitive (5000 posts) and highly defensive (and certainly offensive to most) thread at svtsomething.com, is that one-and-only lap that sets the clocks but is seldom/never repeatable, lap after lap. Road racing. Not from heat soak. Not from smoked brakes. Not from cooked tires. Not from excess avoir du pois. But from a too-flexible chassis that therefore suffers from inconsistent feedback to the driver and, therefore, inconsistent over time/duration laps.
Talk to some real racers, Ry, and ask them if they DON'T prefer the stiffest possible CHASSIS/FRAME. Not suspension but chassis/frame. And ANYONE who says "Yes" is on a temporary pass from the ravin' loonie bin.
You won't get a "Yes" from Danny Popp. Even in auto-X and pro-solo WHERE ONE LAP @ A TIME is run. NOT several at a time.
As to a single-lap event like auto-X, perhaps it plays to Mustang's shortcomings with its telephone pole rear axle to have the car flop around like a flounder out of water, just to get some rear sticktion.
What was that about neophyte? Maybe Tob, or Sid, could come and bail that flounder back into the water.
Sussinctness is not the only shortcoming I see. An "army of one" seems apparent, as well.
