First off, that stang will never go near a rally course.🤣
It is my current baby that was built from a stock platform with too much mod to list.
All done by me including roush suspension.
Yes, my understanding of rally is limited…however my knowledge of cars is not.
I just for the life of me cannot understand why you would select a new production car that has a very limited aftermarket part selection for a performance sport like rally. You can barely find a decent set of wheels for this thing.
Yes I understand “production” class and some mods are allowed in rally…none of which are available for the venue. Other cars in your class will, which puts you at a disadvantage out of the box no matter the class.
I assume you came here for owner feedback not test our knowledge of rally racing…so here it is. The venue does not like ruff terrain. With its single rear axle and light dry weight, it hops around like a bunny rabbit when facing ruff conditions. Hell even pushing the suspension on the street, is a test of driver skill with the high center of gravity and oversteer. Don’t even get me started on the brakes, while perfectly fine for town driving will fade quick under any extreme conditions.
As I stated earlier, I would strongly recommend you get a look at the stock Venue suspension. While I might not know rally, I do know suspension capabilities and the venue is not really worthy imo. Can you race one…sure, but you will tear this car apart in the process (Twinkie).
It’s an economy ride bro not a SUV as marketed and you get what you pay for. Cheap metal, cheap welds, lead to broken Twinkie. It simply can’t take the punishment you are signing it up for, and I promise you, no matter the driver skill will perform for crap in rally. So many better options for the money imo. I would recommend an independent rear suspension if you truely wish to be competitive.
To each his own and best of luck…your going to need it.✌🏼
