My latest track mod. I hadn't much thought of adding a fire extinguisher until a track weekend in July I was having tires put on at our track by "The Tire Guy" and a brand new C8 came off the track smoking. We looked and thought oh blown tire or oil leak, but as they came off into the paddock...

I'd like to delete posts that don't get any feedback. Just keep forums cleaner, but I don't see options to delete your own posts. Is that an option?

In the hunt for "better and more performance" I found this goodie on Steeda's site with rave reviews. But... it's $1600, so that's a nice chunk to drop too. My driving is street to Cars'N'Coffee, limited road trips (various Dragons, etc.) and seasonal road course tracking (Midwest so tracks...

I'm in my fourth season and while I've seen a lot of improvement to my driving there's still a lot of room to grow and learn. Doing HPDE with a groups instructors are often the advanced drivers who while very savvy and skilled are not always giving consistent advice. Recently my last event...

I've been running Falken RT660's for the last year but am finding as I move up from Novice to Solo or Intermediate that the Falkens are wearing a lot quicker now. I just tried some Pirelli slick take offs that seem very good but because I'm doing HPDE not serious time attack I'd rather run a...

My last track outing I wore out my Falken RT660's on the first day, had 2 weekends on them already. My local road course always has a "Tire Guy" there who can fix tires/wheels, get tires you order ahead but he also has take off slicks. This is outside Indianapolis so our Tire guy is getting...

The article here talks about how Stellantis is rethinking it's all EV strategy after almost killing Dodge, Jeep and Chrylser's American market. Wow what a different tune a year makes. But the real story is how Stellantis has changed with the exit of Carlos Tavares finally. Deeper reads on his...

from today more angst over EV's not being adopted by the consumers, but these are supposedly the Green Euro folks not US rednecks. From ezine EVNews no less: EV Registrations Dropped Again In The EU In August, But There’s More To The Story Just one powertrain type saw a modest increase in...

We do so many things to help performance and keep our Mustangs running great so who pays attention to the quality of gas other than Octane? It's interesting to find out many of these ubiquitous brands are not rated Top Tier (google it). Yet there are many brands in your area probably. For a...

I can't seem to find any control to delete a post I created. Most forum apps have that? Admin?

I've posted here about overheating with my 2020 GT and the A10 transmission, happened last year. After Ford dealer replacing the main seal I've only done normal road trip driving, etc. until this weekend. I have a aftermarket trans cooler ready to go for install but I figured I'd head out to...

I learned last season I needed a better cooler for the transmission (10R80) so I shopped and liked Setrab coolers. Thing is while they have a phone number you can NEVER I mean never get through to anyone. email has been the only way to talk to a Setrab person. To install their cooler you have...

I'm going to be getting an upgraded transmission cooler installed for the coming track season and was thinking because I'm still in warranty and have the Ford ESP maybe it's better if I have upgrades like this installed by a willing dealer (if there are such). I know some performance shops...

While enduring this gray blah winter I totally forgot that during our last summer I attended the MCA Mustang day HPDE at our local road course (Putnam Park). Last summer MCA held their national show in my county fair grounds locale. Anyway while at the HPDE event one of their pro photographers...

how Ford (warts and all) is committed to the Mustang in Racing.

Me and my gal were out for a nice fall drive yesterday, but failed to notice part of the drive was over a road they had just sprayed either oil or some preservative they use in the Midwest to keep asphalt from potholes. After cleaning the car I noticed the body panels still felt rough. I can...

I know I've seen a thread out there about what weight oil is okay to run track and keep for street but darned if I can find it again. Anyone run a weight that works for both? The 2020 owners states using 5W-30 for track then switching to 5W-20 for street. Call me lazy but I can't see swapping...

Here we go again on the tracking and fighting the heat issues. Recently I had my first really warm track day and as it happened I got flagged for "smoke" coming out on my 2nd session. TL:DR the transmission was leaking onto the drivers side exhaust making the smoke, I found pink drips from...
