If you had a 1965 Fastback Mustang that can be a Daily Driver that you take to Cruise Night and Car Shows but also put on the Track when you can, which Steering Set Up would you want?

16:1 Steering Gear with the Quick Steer Kit?  Non-Power Rack & Pinion?  Power Rack & Pinion?

Car is so light I would use the 16:1 with the quick steer kit. Lower the upper A-arms 2", use a negative wedge kit. Subframe connector, front torque boxes, export brace and Monte Carlo bar.

As a 'daily driver' I would choose a power rack and pinion set up. Also, an excellent choice for the track.
