I do a fair number of track days each year, so I change my oil frequently.
I figure a fresh oil change is good for 2 track days depending on how hot it is and road mileage in between.
If it were me, I would definitely change the oil in your car prior to my next track day.
I also like to...
Again? Really?

I've been tracking my Ecoboost since 2016. In 2018, I did a total of 10 track days. Nothing on this car has failed. It hasn't even been to a shop except for oil changes, tires, alignments and upgrades. Just...
I had this exact problem on my 2015 ecoboost. I replaced the left side parking brake cable. Problem solved. Not a hard job, fairly inexpensive part.
I might have also been able to fix it by taking the parking brake cable off and lubricating it, but choose to go the replacement route.
I found this:
FR3Z-2K005-B
The vehicle options this part fits:
Fit Note: High Series Police Brakes, North American Markets, Premium Turbo Brakes, R - Package, With High Series Brakes, With Performance Brakes, With Performance Pack, With Traction Pack II
Any chance it'll work?
I have taken your advise at have started to purchase parts to make this upgrade.
I'm having trouble finding:
3)the following from tasca
brake dust shields FR3Z 2K004-C and FR3Z 2K005-C $5 dollars each
caliper bolts W716471-S439 $2 x 4
Anybody else?
I have only ever been behind the wheel on track in the S550, but have ridden shotgun as in instructor in a couple of C6's. The C6 is a remarkably potent vehicle. My experience was that a chimp could be fast in a C6, even with all season tires.
I love my S550...everything about it...looks...
I've been pounding on the 4 piston calipers on track for the last 4 years. I'm consistently within the top 10% of whatever group I'm running, usually intermediate, but often advanced groups. I have only had one problem with these brakes, they faded badly at the end of a 120 mph back straight...
Woke up on a fine Noverber morning at Summit Point to find frost covering my car.
It was not an issue after a few tentative laps.
Baring ice, cool weather is much better than hot weather to run a track day. Heat is the enemy of nearly everything in or on your car.
Well, Okay. The Mustang is not, nor never will be a 997 GT3.
Step one, get rid of the Pirelli P-Zero.
Step two, get the same size tires and wheels all the way around.
I daily drive the Hawk Street/Race pads as well. They seem to work OK in all weather conditions and have good initial bit and staying power on track. If I were truly smart, I should probably swap them out over the winter, but even in sub-zero weather they work just fine. They are extremely...
I have a 2015 EB PP with the stock 4 piston calipers. I have done 10 HPDE events this year and haven't had any issues with brake fade or over-heating. I use DBA discs (I can confirm that the cooling vents are the same as stock), Hawk Street/Race pads and Motul RBF 600. I've heard that the...
Your options are limited at best.
I went with a Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel and Mcloed Ceramic disc. I truly hated it and went back to stock 6 months later. The flywheel was so light it didn't dampen the vibrations from the engine and that cause the input shaft to chatter at idle. The disc bit...

But at $330 bucks, it seems a bit ridiculous.
