Got a ’57 Mustang on the shop floor for a straight‑line test and I’m curious what a speed‑seeker like you thinks about pushing a vintage car to its limits.

Sounds like a good day at the shop, but a ’57 Mustang ain’t meant to be a drag‑race machine. Let’s make sure the brakes are solid, the tires are in good shape, and the engine’s been tuned before we hit the line. If it does skid a bit, that’s part of the learning curve, but a good setup will keep it predictable. A solid foundation is half the race.
