I had a good friend with a Mustang GT racecar and it went through a set of Hoosiers every day due to the live axle (corded the outer shoulders after a couple hours each time). My Porsche goes through track tires every 15 track days and keeps its brake pads for about 30 track days. I can't afford to spend $2,000 every track day (I go to the track about 25 times per season).
A 135i can be easily tuned to dial-out the understeer (swaybars and alignment). A Mustang cannot be easily cured of its issues.

I know plenty of guys who have tracked Mustangs before and have owned two myself over the years and never heard of tires getting gobbled up like that before. And there are thousands of lightly modded Pony cars winning lots of races all over the Country. We agree to disagree, To each his own.
