\"RideTech<\/a><\/p>\n

RideTech<\/a> built this 1985 Mustang to showcase their suspension parts on the track. The white hatchback is powered by a 358 ci Roush Yates RY45 V8 built by SPEC Racing Engines<\/a>. It features Engler stack injection, Ultimate headers, dry sump, and Haltech Nexus R5 ECU. The motor’s 800 hp is sent through a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission and one-piece steel driveshaft to a S550 diff with a 3.55 ratio. The Mustang’s handling is improved thanks to RideTech’s SLA double-wishbone front suspension<\/a>, adjustable coilovers, and soon-to-be-released independent rear suspension<\/a>. The brakes comprise of Wilwood AERO series six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors in front and four-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors in back. Those are covered by Forgeline Monoblock GS1R 18×10-inch wheels and Kumho V730 Ecsta tires (275\/35). The interior features Sparco EVO seats, Sparco harnesses, S550 drive-by-wire accelerator pedal, Wilwood pedal box, and FIA-certified six-point roll cage. RideTech dropped some weight using fiberglass fenders, doors, and rear hatch. Read more about the car in RideTech’s part 1 article<\/a> and part 2 article<\/a>.<\/p>\n
