So......a long long time ago I spent a bunch of time here. And then I didn’t (long story)
Well I’m pretty much set on the idea I’m going to be autocrossing a 4th gen again. So what has changed? Some things I’ve found already: Tires are drastically more expensive Available “good” r compound options are even more limited Street prepared has some allowances I would have liked to have way back when The “newer cars” have taken over ESP Wheels have gone up in price. I think I only paid $400-450/wheel for CCW’s CAM C looks like a class that I’d probably run in “most” of the time just for the participation. What else has changed in 10 years LOL |

What is an M29? The mustang runs without a backseat because of an update/backdate allowance The M29 was a T56 that had gearing that was "shorter" (similar to the C5 Z06 instead of the standard T56, but I believe it was slightly different gearing). It has a lower torque rating, but more "gear". 1993 Camaro/Firebird w/2.73 final drive "M28" 350ft lbs 3.36:1 2.07:1 1.35:1 1.00:1 0.80:1 0.62:1 reverse 3.28:1 1993 Camaro/Firebird w/3.23 final drive "M29" 400ft lbs 2.97:1 2.07:1 1.43:1 1.00:1 0.80:1 0.62:1 reverse 3.28:1 1998 Camaro/Firebird 450ft lbs 2.66:1 1.78:1 1.30:1 1.00:1 0.74:1 0.50:1 reverse 2.90:1 More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg-Warner_T-56_transmission |
