I've read reports of guys picking up 3 mph of straightaway speed with just this piece. Three mph for $600 is actually a stunning bargain in the racing world.
RE71R's are going to get greasy quicker, in Time Attack you'll need to be a one lap wonder and hope for a clear track because you're not going to get a lot of laps at the limit.
Ultimately, you want 11" rims on both ends with 305s. You'll need a 20-25mm spacer on the front. These cars are front heavy and they push, you need all the tire you can get up front. I run SVE R350s 11" at both ends 20 mm spacers on the front. I can rotate my wheels/tires side to side and...
I just run the Hawks on the street rather than changing pads all the time and so far they are fine. Dealer told me that as long as its warm weather they will be fine, but in cold weather (like below 40F) they will eat the rotors badly.
But in truth the car rarely goes on the street other than...
I have black bushings in my diff, BMR steel lockouts and CBR05 on the cradle and the rear gear howl is phenomenal! Can't imagine what it would be like with aluminum ones. I actually have grown to like that sound, it varies with throttle and sounds real racecar-ish!! Simple things....LOL! This...
I bought them from a Hawk dealer in Toronto, they sell to a very large racer group and they recommended the 50s over the 60s for my car. The 50 and 60 are very close together in the amount of heat they can sustain, the curves were available on Hawk's website. But the 60 is a lot more...
Corvette has 460 hp and weighs 3300 lbs. There is no way your A10 GT PP1 is going to blow the doors off that car since the Mustang is likely around 3800 lbs. Plus the 'vette is much smaller and more aerodynamic.
Some cars just make the sensation of speed and acceleration minimal because...
If your car is largely stock DTC60 or 70 are far beyond what you should be looking at. My car is highly modified and runs lap times that are class winning numbers in Time Attack and I run DTC50/DTC30. I get about .5 mm of wear for a track day on the fronts, rears are barely measureable. You...
Ford Perf parts don't have to be dealer installed, they just say it has to be installed by an ASE certified mechanic. I have the docs from my PP2 kit and that's what it says.
I have the same experience with my '16 PP1 car, using BG diff and trans fluid. Used to get axle overheat warnings regularly but after wrapping the exhaust near the diff I haven't had any. I did not think this would do much but am happy to report it does work. I also keep it under 20 minute...
I wouldn't drive my 'stang in winter for all the tea in China, it goes to sleep in my garage on Oct. 30 and wakes up on late March-early April. I have a real winter car that is properly equipped for the winters we get up here.
Totally not. The test is if your lap times come down, it's all about aero and reducing the underhood pressure which is robbing downforce in a Mustang. The temps do come down, mine dropped from 247 to 217, but the big thing was my lap time dropped by 1.2 secs with just the addition of a...
The Ford FR3 track suspension is an excellent package, I've been using it for 2 seasons now and it continually impresses me as to how well engineered it is and how it transformed this car completely. Ford designed the car, built the car, shook the car down, developed it for racing with...
I put 10 track days on the stock pads and they never acted up at all, they just slowly wore down to below a third at which point I stop using pads and junk them. I found them to be a very decent pad when properly cooled, and with a heavy fast car like an S550 Mustang you should have cooling if...
Pobst was hooning for the camera, way too hard on the gas too early on exits to induce oversteer and make it more exciting. If he drove it really fast it would be pretty well steadily hooked up and likely a boring video. It's all up to the driver, the PP car as it comes is a capable car once...
