Just from watching the video it looks like they ran a 1:39-1:40 lap time on their hot lap. That must have been in the base model and not the R. The R should be 1:35 or lower.
Hi All,
I'm loving all the posts on the media/track tour at Laguna Seca and it has prompted a question regarding the adjustable exhaust. Sorry if this has already been covered.
Question: Does the adjustable exhaust come with the GT350 and Track Pack or is it only on the GT350R model...
Answering my own question... found this on the Ford site:
The all-new Mustang serves up hot new technology designed
specifically for you. Next time the track starts getting slick,
just tap a toggle switch on the dash to adjust its Selectable
Drive Modes.
Choose from 4 modes: Normal...
While we're on the subject of automatics... does the S550 have "hill mode" available?
I have this on my 2011 GT and it's great for the race track and around town when you want to stay in a gear longer on the upshift or downshift earlier when slowing down. It is engaged by pushing a button...
Great post. Wish I was there to get some laps in the GT350. I was there on Monday for a track day and they still had their exhibit set up. Here are some photos.

I went from a 2005 Audi S4 to a 2011 s197 GT. The things I miss about the Audi are the interior and the rumble of the V8. That said, the new S550 has a much improved interior and a nice rumble. I put a Roush axleback exhaust on my car to get a good sound on it.
I made the switch to the...
Thanks. Looking forward to hearing how it drives for you.
I'm planning to upgrade to a 2016 in the fall and the PC is one of the first mods on my list.
I tried Hawk DTC-70 pads and they were ok, but my last set has been the Carbotech XP24s. They have tremendous bite, don't overheat and last longer than the DTC-70s. The only issue is they take a little longer to heat up to operating temp.
Seeing this video reminds me of a discussion I had at Laguna Seca a few weeks ago.
The guy next to me had a Fox body track car, but he said he had 4 other Mustangs ( 3 muscle cars) and one of them was a brand new EB PP. He does not track the EB yet, but he may in the future. He did take...
Nice passing. Love the late braking. Too bad your brakes gave out. Cooling and track pads will definitely help. Get some high temp brake fluid as well. You probably converted a few of the Porsche guys at the track to go take a look at Mustangs.
Two potential solutions for Ecoboost heat extraction...
Option #1.
Find a rental car company that has a 2015 Mustang GT that matches your car color. Rent the GT, swap the hood with your Ecoboost hood, drive the GT through several mud puddles and get is nice and dirty, return the car. They...
