Hahaha! We've all found out about the parking brake one way or another lol! I actually stepped up to the R12 compound after I bent the R10 pads!

Bud you are missing the entire point, I am trying to get you to understand that widest is not always the answer. Nothing is ALWAYS the answer, there are a million and one factors as to why that guy won so many titles in autocross. What wheel size he ran is probably one of the least important...

Thats really really expensive. I value my car at 38000 and at Road Atlanta my insurance was $405.

You do realize running a 295 on 12 inch wheel is extremely stretched right 😂 Not even using the full potential of the 12 inch wheel.

Whoa?! What did you value your car at? and what track were you running that was 700 for one day?!

Hey man! I have a 2023 version of your car! Track insurance really depends on the track you are driving, the higher the speeds, the more expensive the insurance. First rule is ALWAYS get track insurance. You may not crash but someone could crash into you and you'd be left with a banged up car...

Again, no widest is not always the answer. Its incredible to me the amount of people that don't understand the physics behind contact patch, slip angle, sidewall strength, etc. A wider wheel might have a larger contact patch and strong enough sidewall. In fact some tires on an 11 inch wheel have...

No, the answer is not always the widest. Grip to weight ratio gets very important when you go larger than a 11 inch wide wheel in the rear. The grip you get becomes marginally better while still gaining all of the weight of the larger wheel and tire. Rotating mass is extremely valuable to us...

I’ve really enjoyed it to be honest. Out of the box the brakes needed a lot of work, same with the suspension. I threw larger tires and lighter wheels and it really helped! I find it most similar to a 2019 M4, similar power, a little heavier, but the stang is very predictable which allows me to...

Nope I haul ass. Like I said I’ve been racing for 15 years. People just don’t understand you don’t have to be in the lowest gear all the time with these cars. Just upshift one gear and it stays remarkably cool. I also don’t race in 85+ degree weather, so the ambient helps a lot. Cheers

Oh so you just responded to my post to make a comment completely unrelated to what I was responding to. Gotcha ✌🏻

I've never had my A10 overheat on track. Over 15+ track days not once did it over heat, I did have my diff get rather hot but not the trans.

You didn't read my post did you 😂 I said a manual is incredible to drive and feel. I've tracked cars for 15+ years , so yes I prefer the track. But you are just getting but hurt about my comment. I never compared the GT350 to a 10 speed GT. I compared GTs with the MT-82 and the 10 speed...

I'm actually amazed people on here are still arguing over this. A manual is incredible to drive and feel, but it cannot be compared to the 10 speed, in any way. You compare a stock 18+ GT 6 speed vs a 10 speed GT it'll win in EVERY scenario. That should be the end of the discussion. Sure you can...

I have done th pretty much the exact same thing with my brakes! I have the 4 pots and have engineered an underpan that has the brake ducts as well as made my own deflector fins. In addition I also run G-Loc R12, SS lines, and Castrol SRF fluid. The setup seems to work pretty well, still using...

Hmmm well it could still be the plasma coating, very few things in the engine produce truly gold flakes. If your bearings don't have excessive play then I am not sure what it could be. Sorry I know this doesn't provide much help but you've got to always have hope!

I didn't seem to find this in the thread, but coyotes have a plasma coating on all the cylinders to help with the break in, it is normal to see some gold metal flakes in your first couple oil changes. I don't see how many miles are on your car but this could be it...

Yes 100% agree, the "algorithim" for oil temp is certainly annoying. Try to look at CHT more often than oil temperature while on track. Obviously look at both, but your CHT is a better place to look if your engine is getting too hot. I tend to pull back when I see 225-230 CHT. Generally your CHT...

Where this would happen is when people add larger radiators and run water wetter in their coolant system, but do not add any oil coolers. This would be the only scenario where the oil could potentially be higher.

Sort of, I believe that is when the gauge starts to read red. My gauge doesn't have numbers but the 15-20 degrees less is a great rule of thumb to follow. But again, if your oil is reaching above 240 your CHT assuming nothing broke in your engine should be 15-20 degrees higher, which is very...
