yes. Please put me in your will.

Haha that’s a good one. I’ve thought about something like an Ariel Atom or a Superlite SLC which is basically that.

on the sway bars, front and back or just one? I wouldn’t say I’m amazing at heal toe, but I like doing it and want to keep it part of the experience in this car. noted on camber. We’re 2/2 on that suggestion. as for the C8, it does slightly better times at Laguna than the 350 which I find...

For the IRS, I’d scoped out the BMR kits. You like those? If not, what do you like better? what is the DSC controller? Forgive me for having no idea what that is. are the Goodyear 3R street legal? I’ll look into them. Who sells them? Any dual rate spring recommendations? in regard to coil...

Okay so here’s my situation. I get to the track about every 6 weeks and in between drive on my sim several times a week (ie. more seat time is not an option) my car is a 2017 GT350 w Vorschlag camber/caster plates tuned to about 2.7 degrees of negative camber. 8.6 degrees of caster. I have 350R...

yeah it sounds like pre bedding would be the way to go for the truly serious but I assume that means either buying new rotors or shipping them the ones on the car. I just replaced the rotors and I don’t feel like shipping those manholes back and forth so I’ll try bedding them like a normal...

NOW I see what you were responding to. I shouldn’t read posts recent to oldest.

are you telling us you don’t bed in your brakes in? LOL I will bed them in on the local expressway which has stop lights and a 50mph speed limit. This will be a low gas mileage but totally legal endeavor.

Hey all, wondering if any of you can give me a heads up on what to expect both at the track and on the street as I switch from the OEM pads to a set of Pagid RSL 29 pads. for the street, the car is a grocery getter that sees about 2500 miles per year. Still have the original super sport tires...

So I went back to the track and ran hot laps in both sports mode (so traction control would stay on) and track mode and pushed as hard as I ever do and no lights were trigged in the 40 or so laps I did. So whatever gremlins infected the car last time, they didn't show up yesterday. Cars man...

that exceeds my skill level but if it happens again I’ll at least know where to rub the tech’s nose when I bring the car back to them. I did check the plugs and none of them appeared to have any play so I couldn’t say with much confidence that was the initial cause.

ok I’ll keep an eye on it. My next track day is in a couple weeks and I’ll do some runs in track mode and sport mode and see if that makes any difference. I haven’t noticed the engine bogging or otherwise misbehaving either on the street or at the track so that’s the only inconsistency with the...

So this turned out to be essentially nothing. Ford said that since I was in track mode (traction control off) and operating in track conditions (near red line) this was caused by momentary wheel slip and engine spikes over redline. In other words, it was nothing, just the sensors letting me know...

Thanks guys. I didn’t notice any play in the wires. But I’m due for a pre/post track checkup so I’ll ask the pros to check too

All, I’m hoping someone can tell me if they’ve experienced what my car is telling me and what the fix, if any, was. Yesterday I was running at the track (Laguna Seca) and in track mode and on a couple non consecutive runs my car gave me a solid engine light. I had an OBDII sensor plugged in so...

Price reduction. Will let these go for $200 obo.

Selling just the two rear tires from my GT350 with aftermarket wheels on it. Tires are 325/19/30 and have plenty of life left. I only used them to drive to and on the track. They have precisely 52 laps around Laguna Seca (~140 miles) and about 200 road miles on them. I took them off because I...

Yeah I figure this thread will do more to tell the story than a review ever will. Or at least that’s what I’ll tell myself.

For those who are interested, the shop said they didn’t think it was their fault and they weren’t going to pay.

One other thing I’d say on the cost front is that my “other” car is a Ferrari and I bought the Mustang because the ‘Rari is to expensive to track because stuff like this happens. When I needed to replace my rear rotors on the Ferrari it was $5k just for used rotors, nothing else. They’re CC but...
