As mentioned in previous threads, 2,400 miles and 1 track day in, here’s my tire wear on the Cup 2s. I was hoping to get one more track day (with the camber adjusted next time) and a couple months out of them, but yesterday I got a nail in a rear tire - angled in the edge of one of the treads. I...

I did 3 1/2 30 minute sessions. There were 5 sessions but my bad back couldn’t handle a full day. Weather was a nice sunny day, 88 degrees. As far as the specific temp gauges, I don’t recall specific numbers - just checked after each session to make sure nothing was high. Everything was fine and...

The reason there aren’t many videos of sub 1:58s at NOLA is because there aren’t many guys running sub 1:58s at NOLA (outside of the advanced group, which is full of prepped race cars on race wheels). The fastest guy in the intermediate group was a Camaro SS 1 LE, who told me he runs 1:58-1:59s...

That’s what I was expecting when it finally dawned on me to do no-lift shifting down that straight. Then I did it and heard the rpm drop and was like, “Well that was anticlimactic.” :crackup: It didn’t seem like an advantage over lifting off the accelerator myself, just the car does it for you...

I actually didn’t even think about it at first, but at some point in the day I started doing them on the long straight only (3rd to 4th then 4th to 5th). Not sure if I did them in this particular session. But when I did finally start doing them, it was the first time I had ever done them. The...

Thanks, I got it taken care of. Lap at NOLA 3 seconds slower than my best lap, but best I got on camera unfortunately.

A few other notes.... I was not expecting the Mach 1 to be THIS solid on the track in my hands. I'm no pro, but I'm no slouch either. Like I said earlier, out of 16 novices and 11 intermediates, I was around 4th fastest. The advanced group was obviously faster but had plenty full-on race cars...

If there’s a way to post video on here without having to post it on youtube and link it, I’d post a lap. My GoPro battery died before my fastest session, but I have a decent lap on video. I was running some 2:05-2:06 laps in session 2, but in session 3 I ran a 2:03.17 trying to hold off a Cayman...

I also didn’t reset the camber and stuff for the track, so I got more edge wear than I should have. The weight of the car doesn’t help though. I’ll probably switch to Pilot Super Sports like my Grand Sport had - better for street/year round weather use, but still very good on the track with far...

Here’s my 2 week old tires after 1 track day...

My son said it was around $1,750 with install.

Will post more tomorrow because I’m whipped and heading to bed, but I did my first track day with the Mach 1 today. Surpassed all my expectations. It was my first track day in 2 years, but I beat my best times from my ‘19 Vette Grand Sport. Never thought that would happen in a Mustang. No issues...

They are katzkin - not sure what style, I just screenshot it off their site and sent it to my salesman (son).

Here are some new interior pics - not the best photos, just snapped some quick shots when they finished the install this evening. I’m on the run getting my new GoPro and track apps set up for track day tomorrow. I expect reviews to be mixed. Dealer threw in leather seats to sweeten the deal...

Doing a track day next weekend at NOLA - I’ll probably run some sessions in track mode and some in sport mode to see which I prefer. In my ‘19 Grand Sport I preferred sport mode. First I need to learn how everything works in this car - I’m 10 days in and haven’t had time to read the manual or...

Considering it but doubt it. First chips are appearing on the hood, and I don’t want to do the whole hood but am definitely not a fan of partial hood. If it was just the front cap that needed protection I’d probably do it.

My buddy had a C8 just like that. Kept for less than a year and sold it to Carmax because he couldn’t pass up almost $20K more than he paid for it new. Right now my Mach 1 is getting detailed/ceramic hybrid sealed by his next door neighbor. He just texted me, “Watching him clean yours makes me...

Bought a Kubota L3560. Love it. My neighbor has an old Ford tractor. Still runs great.

This might be a problem - last year I moved to the country and ditched my Vette for an F150 and a tractor. Last week I traded the F150 for my Mach 1. My tractor is due for service right now - do I really have to wait til 1,000 miles before I can tow my tractor with the Mach 1?
