Hard miles indeed. But if you were planning on building an ST track car it's a nice deal with the cage.

I would love one of these as a track car. I had a blast in these cars in Tooele UT, but anyone buying one has to know that they have been beaten severely, over revved, gone off track multiple times, and suffered collision damage at one point of another. I'm certain that they've been maintained, because they wouldn't have survived otherwise, but I think I'd have to build one for myself using a street car. At the STOA event that I attended two of these cars were significantly crashed- and I can only imagine that each one has been through quite a bit.

Once again, I wish I had gone.

However, it's a nice spec list of what Ford thought the car needed for being beat on.

I know I am reviving an old post but does anyone know what the enhanced cooling they used was? Have a pic of the the radiator ducting? Did they use an oil cooler? Wish that would have been stated in the spec list. They took the time to list the XP# for the Carbotech pads, the tire type, and the lig nut type but just say enhanced cooling for the cooling specs.

I talked with an instructor about that. Mountune radiator and intercooler. Whatever was available from Mountune at that time. 4000 feet altitude make it hard for cooling and boost.

Sorry Mods for the bump in it appears @Boogiesadda is still a member and had a question. Boogiesadda the radiator and oil cooler are CR components. It’s hard to get pics without disassembling the car, but it appears they were built to mount same as factory. All of the original plastics were removed and is ducted directly by a sheet metal box. These are the best pics I could get.
