The Mustang is a true back-half car. It has a stock firewall, frame rails, shock towers and a short wheelbase. No matter where we put the 4 link it wanted to wheelie at 160 mph. If we moved weight from the back to front it would spin/shake. We just left weight in the back and added weight to the front. As a result we ran the car as much as 100 pounds heavy. The competition level at these races is such that we found that 100 pounds was hurting our chances.
