    Never seen that part of Mexico before! Nice video! I take it the stang belonged to a friend? When I first built tweak I beat two different Roush supercharged mustangs getting into the freeway from a local car hangout ( just south if the border). Then I slowed on the freeway and we did pulls and I got them both again at freeway speed. It was funny because the mustang drivers weren't upset, they couldn't stop laughing.
    A good friend of mine said it best, " it's like a midget winning a marathon, just thinking about it is funny"

    Depends on the type of aero mods. Anything that limits airflow underneath or promotes smooth flow underneath the car will actually provide higher negative lift numbers (down force) on a scale than OEM applications.

    Anything that smooths flow over the top reduces the Cd (drag coefficient), but can also induce lift. The idea with the nose mods is to lower the stagnation point to prevent so much air from going under/through the engine bay in such a disorganized fashion, and the tapered tail section smooths wake flow and reduces the size of the wake, also lowering Cd at the cost of lift.

    Both sets of mods will basically negate each other in terms of stability.

    I raced JT and hung for 1/2 a second and then got chopped up.

    Get sheets of used coroplast free, make a belly pan. Clean the front end up, and dont worry about the doors and fender seams. Block the upper radiator opening.

    At the rear, make a short panel to a taper from the roof line of about 12degrees of plan taper. Match it on the sides.

    Tape your doors, hatch, and hood closed, add a front and rear splitter and a carbon/fiberglass belly pan. Your back bumper currently acts as a parachute at 120+. If you can't afford all the mods, get some expanding foam (NOT by the exhaust) and fill your bumper in. It should help a little.
