Personally, I like the fact that this car has a stock drivetrain. Sure, it would have been faster with a built motor or a supercharger, but so what? That's not what Maximum Motorsports does. What they sent is an accurate, and honest, representation of what they actually do, which tells me that they not only have confidence in their product, but integrity as well. Nice to see that in a company these days.

I really like this Mustang build because it reminds me so much of how I modified my Miata. It's a mostly stock powertrain car, but has a custom high end coilover/suspension setup, upgraded brakes, upgraded cooling, chassis bracing etc. Last weekend at Thunderhill I was hitting berms and jumping off them and was amazed at how well and quickly the car would settle itself back because of the awesome shock control. Then I drove it home 3 hours down I-5 in relative comfort and made it back with not even as much as an ache in my back. Everything feels to be in perfect balance.

@jochem1986 7 жыл бұрын

Amazing car and an amazing review. Handling and suspension mods should get a way bigger platform than they do now. This changes the character of the car so much more than adding 50% more power. And especially here in the Swiss Alps, it's all about handling. Great work, Matt and crew!

@C42ST3N 7 жыл бұрын

A wise man in motorsport told me once, if you want to make your car faster start with tyres and suspension and do the engine at the end if money is left. Thats what Maximum did and the result seems to be really great. Often tuners just do engine mods and put a expensive suspension in the car but do not take the time to adjust it correctly.

@evanrouse5185 7 жыл бұрын

First off great video and I really like how the competition is set up! However, I feel that in terms of points awarded there is too much weight riding on lap time. After all the video is called Tuner Car Shoot Out, not Track Car Shoot Out. Maybe the next time you do one of these series (I realize that all 5 of these episodes have probably been recorded already) maybe take some weight away from lap time and distribute it between the other categories. In no way am I saying that lap time isn't important, because it does have precedence, but some people are more concerned about how a car feels on the road or track compared to how fast it does it. Once again great video guys, I'll definitely keep watching!

@TheSmokingTire 7 жыл бұрын

Evan Rouse from the very beginning, we decided the point of a tuner car was to be fast, and so we wanted to weigh lap time very heavily. There were no power/track mod limits. Anything goes but tires and plates. We told the tuners; they all agreed to participate.

Fair enough, I appreciate the response! I've been a long time TST fan and have always loved the content. Keep up the good work with /Drive, and I look forward to the rest of this series!

They're complaining of a lack of grip on a track covered in sand! I know all cars competed on the same track, but it looks slippery as heck. Anyways, MM and Jack Hidley did a great job. They helped my buddy Ken with his modified Fox chassis '86 Cougar V8 sort out a lot of details. With some MM components it turned his heavily modified car into a smooth riding, great handling car.

I love that a 2014 Mustang was picked for this shootout but I definitely think that the wrong Mustang was chosen. For $11k a you could buy everything that is on the car plus a watts link, front strut tower brace, rear x-brace, upgraded to coil-overs, and would have plenty of money left over for opening up the engine, adding exhaust mods, and possibly making it look nicer. Im not saying it would win the showdown but it would definitely put a a better fight.

With all the respect in the world intended, how did you only manage a 2:05? Coyotes (including mine) that are far from "full" suspension have been running low 2's at Chuckwalla for sometime now. Even before my watts linkage which is an off the shelf item, with some poor man's KW V3 coilovers, front bar, rear everything was running a similar time and I'm like a 6/10 driver on a good day. Bone stock drivetrain, 200 treadwear tires.

@jhidley1 7 жыл бұрын

Not having the track rubbered in, is going to make a huge difference. In addition, a good professional race driver, when testing other peoples cars, is going to leave in some safety margin. If they wreck someones car, it looks really bad for multiple reasons.

@jhidley1 7 жыл бұрын

Marc, Even if there is insurance or a liability release, it doesn't matter. No one involved in this wants a car to be crashed. It is bad for everyone involved, even if you ignore the direct financial aspects of it. The list of reasons is long. Your comments about the testing being invalid because the cars weren't tested under the same conditions makes no sense to me. All of the cars involved were tested on the same track, by the same driver on the same day. The comparison here is between these five cars, NOT these five cars and some other cars that didn't drive this track, this day by this driver.

You could just gut all the extra weight from the driver's seat back, get a lighter hood and battery up front and you would probably be more than happy with the power level. Plus the extra weight gone would increase the handling as well.
