Stock GT PP Impresses in first track test

[BTM]

...

-My gas mileage is like 11 haha...

True that - when I was at T-Hill on the same 2mi circuit, I was able to burn literally a quarter tank per 20min session :eyebulge:

Duh, didnt mention the track :doh:

Yes, Thunderhill 2 mile track

Cool. Havent got the mustang out there yet. Your times are similar to my old evo 8(on ra1's), so pretty fast. Good stuff.

Last track night I went through 10 gallons in 2 20 min sessions. Dash said I averaged 4.5 mpg.

 

[ForTehNguyen]

7.5 mpg here

Drove a 2000 S2000 for 3 years... took some time off in sedans, picked up where I left off with my 15 GT PP Recaro car, and from a seat-of-the-pants perspective feel that it's got the torque to outspeed the lighter car. What made the S2k so amazing was the speed to the redline! Thanks for taking the both to the track to confirm.

Was an epic day, having the chance to hop from one type of track car to it's near opposite and back!

The mustang stock exhaust was super quiet. Super duper quiet, actually.

Went back to the T-hill 2 mile track.

In summary - it seems not to be so easy to bolt on quickness :lol:

After Track Handling pack, CF Driveshaft, and Magnaflow Street exhaust my times are better, but not breathtakingly so by any means.

I had a couple of factors to contend with on this day. The first half of the day was run using a bypass, so I was not able to lap meaningful times until the last 3 sessions. By this time, I think I was starting to lose some of the grip of the tires, and by the last session I think the tires might have been worse than they were on the previous track day's best times by a half second...

And it was a few degrees hotter yesterday. And, I just might not have had the same verve.
OK, now that that's been said...

EDIT: Also, very high winds

So...what what the issue? the car or you? Do you have video?

 

[GT_Roadcourse_Newb]

EDIT: Front left tire

 

[Impulsed7]

Needs more camber, maybe?

 

[GT_Roadcourse_Newb]

Front right tire is about done. looks like a berm gremlin took a bite there

I thought I was driving it as hard as I was before... Maybe as I get more attached to the car I am less willing to risk it ;)

I have metric shiite-tons of video that I can post but its far too much bandwidth as-is. I need to get/learn a decent video editing suite. Im just ramping up to this stuff - just bought Harry's laptimer.

Heres the 4th session raw video, if you are bored.

Any other impressions of the handling pack? Less body roll and nose dive?

 

[Optimum Performance]

Counter clockwise course judging by the tire shots. They are grippy but way too small for the weight of the car. 2-3 psi higher in the fronts will make them last a little longer. Square works much better. It doesnt look like you have much more than stock camber in the the front. Would suggest bolts or plates to get that thing some camber up front.

Impressions of Ford Racing Suspension? Control over bumps (rebound)?
