If you really want to put your driving and car building skills to the test, go road racing. This is a motorsport that pushes both driver and vehicle to their limits, and requires every component to work hard and in harmony to even hope to stand a chance at success. Of all the parts stressed on a road course, perhaps nothing works harder than the suspension. While the Mustang often seems like a one-trick pony due to many racers obsession with drag racing, there are numerous Mustangs out on road courses all across the country.

This video from Late Model Restoration goes for an under-car look at just what is going on inches off of the road course when a Fox-body Mustang takes to the track. Watching this suspension in action gives us a whole new appreciation of how hard these systems really work.

Filmed beneath James Lubbert’s Fox-body Mustang, this road racing muscle car is equipped with some of the best suspension work money can buy. This includes a panhard bar setup for the rear suspension from Maximum Motorsports and big brake upgrades from a SN95 Cobra Mustang. Seeing the way those wheels bounce up and down, coming inches from scraping the track surface, it’s all very eye opening.

Under the hood of Lubbert’s Mustang is a DSS-built 331 stroker engine that dynoed at 330 hp, but this movie is all about the suspension. The under car mounted cameras give you clear views of both the front and rear suspensions at work, and it really gives one a whole new perspective on the level of respect that road race cars deserve.
