Not a performance pack then. PP cars also have Brembo brakes that are marked with the Brembo emblem and are slightly bigger than the 'regular' GT brakes.

I do not, but I'm planning on going to the next cars and coffee:

and also planning to go to BIR this summer. We've talked about getting the Mustang guys together from this forum but it hasn't happen. We should get on that!

I always go to C&C. This last one was cancelled. I heard they are doing a new location, but haven't heard where. I'll look at the link and maybe they have something lined up. Hopefully I'll see you there if so.
If you all want to meet up... I'd be game.

My buddy is at BIR regularly, but he's a spec miata racer. I haven't tracked a car yet. He keeps trying to get me out there. I want to, but then don't want to. I want to for obvious reasons. I don't want to since it's hard on the car, and ... what if I get hooked??

According to their site it's still at AutoMotorPlex. I haven't been to one yet so I'm excited to go to my first one.
As far as tracking the car, yeah it's a little hard on it but this is the kind of vehicle that was built to withstand some of that abuse. I don't think I'm good enough to do any real damage besides tires and brakes. I'm going to do the driving school first so I don't kill myself

From what I read they provide the helmet and gloves and everything as part of the performance driving school. Are you talking about something different, Mike?

If you use one of their Spec Ford racers, they'll provide everything for you. This is very expensive. I thought you would be interested in using your Mustang? Your much better off using your own car, Much cheaper and more track time.

I do plan on using my own car! :ford:
So if you don't use the spec race car then they DON'T loan out the equipment? Ok, I must have misunderstood that from their site. That's not very clear.
Any suggestions on a good helmet?

I'm sure they would loan you a helmet if you wanted. I'm sure you'll be doing it again so you might as well buy one?I do plan on using my own car! :ford:
