HPDE - MSR Cresson 1.7 Clockwise

[Budwise]

I had a blast last weekend in my 2015 GT PP with The Drivers Edge at MSR Cresson near Forth Worth Texas. The car did very well for a basically stock car and hung with the big boys including my Dad's C6Z06. Some cars that fell to the lowly Mustang include an Aston Martin DB9, C6 Z06's, C6 Grand Sports, Lotus's, and yes even a C7 Z06. At this level it is way more driver than car but I was still shocked to see the C7Z06 not pulling away from me. My only real nitpick with the car as it stands is a little bouncing from the rear end on one or two of the long fast sweepers. I could use more tire as well, but that will come. Though I think I'm approaching the car's traction limits on a few areas there are definitely some that I need to work on. This was my first time running this track this in this direction and first time in this car so overall I'm satisfied with myself and extremely satisfied with the car. Compared to my 2013 GT it feels so much more nimble. Be sure to check out the Whipple'd 3v GT in Run 7, that thing was MOVING and was modded to the max!

My Setup:
Ferodo DS2500 Pads
ATE DOT4 Brake Fluid
Amsoil 0w-40
Amsoil MTF Trans Fluid
FRPP Sport Exhaust
275/40/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports on Forgestar 19X10 F14's

The car did great, oil temps stayed in the green, oil pressure was steady at ~70 PSI under load, and head temps maxed at around 225 which is much better than my 2013 GT ever did.

nice job, great driving

Nice work! Has anyone found out the temperature range from left to right that makes up the oil temp gauge? Would be nice to know what the actual temps are out of curiosity.

It's an oil pressure gauge not temp.

 

[Asharus]

im guessing he's talking about the oil temp gauge in the instrument cluster

 

[Budwise]

Yea, the oil temp gauge in the center of the tach and speedo. Oil Pressure remained stable at around 70 PSI with the 40 weight oil.

Having fun, that's what it's all about. Good job.

38-60° C (100-140° F) (low)
61-137° C (141-279° F) (normal)
138-146° C (280-295° F) (warm)
147-160° C (296-320° F) (hot)

Exactly what I wanted. Thank you for the information!

very nice driving! i did the track in the shorter configuration (1.7 or 1.3?) in CCW direction a couple years back. fun track and nice having the hotel and gas so close! (more valuable after going to Hallett in Tulsa this past weekend where it's 30 min to a decent hotel, and several minutes to a gas station).

i appreciate your inputs as i'm looking for a new DD/track car to replace my current setup. what do you think the bouncing is from? hopefully this isn't too OT but did you get the car with HPDEs in mind and what else did you consider?

thanks in advance for the input if you have a few minutes.
