Go drive the Tail of the Dragon, even if it takes a extra day. Just be sure to get your head out of the high speed track mode when going thru the Tail!

Congrats!

Enjoy and keep is on the track!

If you're driving, you may want to go through the Tail of the Dragon on your way in or out.

Yes, and I was probably the first of the S550 Mach 1's to visit -- they came out to get a picture of my car at the Museum. Unfortunately, I went there after Day 2 at FPRS and didn't allow myself enough time before it closed for the day. That said, it was worth the visit and I hope to visit again...

Be careful with the Cup 2s. That's what I had on the car on Day 2 and in the AM had a discussion with the instructors about their behavior in contrast to the PS4s. As they said, the 2s give less warning that they're near the edge -- less squeal and nearly no scream when they're about to let go...

It was definitely worth it! I booked my 2-day FPRS before we learned the Mach 1 would have the Track Attack. I received my Mach 1 at the end of March 2021, when to the school in May, and they were just talking about the Track Attack. I enjoyed the 2-day so much I signed up for the second day for...

Track Attack is for Mach 1 new buyers. You can do the 2-day course which will be in the S550 GTs, as is the second day of the Track Attack.

You're right about "lot of concrete", and my experience with losing traction was the result of not being on neutral throttle when crossing the painted stripes in Roval Turn 8 (where the straight track from Turn 5 comes in from the left). I was at the front of that "fast" pack and pushing myself...

Sorry, I have to argue with this. I did and the combined cost of the insurance for all four days I was at FPRS was far, FAR less than 1/10th of what the repairs would have cost. If you're trying to learn to drive closer to your limits, you might just find that edge, and then you'll definitely...

The stripe on mine was gold with red, stood out much sharper than the gold with white.

Shipping blocks were on all cars. They help keep the suspension from bottoming out when they strap the cars down on truck, train, or ship.

You'll have a full day at the Track Attack and you'll want a good night's rest the night before, even more so if you choose to do the second day. I did the second day and it was VERY much worth it. Just be sure you get the limited liability insurance, just in case. I've had four days at FPRS and...

Nice! Make sure you check the front springs for the shipping blocks (if they're not there, ask the dealer for them in case you ever need them), and definitely check the tire pressures (more often than not, the dealers miss bringing them down from shipping pressures). If your alignment feels odd...

The other tip is there; it's just the angle of the photo.

Nice, but I have to admit I'm still not loving the S650 look. Not sure if it's because it looks Camaro-ish or if the lines were changed just enough to be closer to the Mach-e. They could offer me a fully loaded one and I'd stick with my Iconic Silver 2021 Mach 1 every day!

Doesn't answer your question, but I went with the Ford rubber mats for up here in New England (Massachusetts, US). First time I ever bought rubber mats and I'm completely happy with them.

There are separate threads for pest issues. Just look up mice or car storage.

I'm betting keeping the mice away.
