What options are available for front brake pads for the Ecoboost PP calipers? Had some brake fade after a few laps at High Plains Raceway last week, and need to upgrade pads. The pad compound I like would have to be custom cut and would cost $399, I would like to find an acceptable track/daily...
ADM
Has anyone actually taken delivery of a GT350 at MSRP yet? I hope nobody shows up at the dealership to pick up a car only to find out the "manager forgot to add the ADM".
A friend of mine had made a verbal (over the phone) deal with a salesman on a Hellcat, drove 2 hours to the dealership...
no squeal
I had the TSB done and so far no more squeal (only 75 miles approx) and the brakes feel as good as they did so I am pleased.
I want to give a shout out to Brighton Ford (Brighton CO), they ordered the parts without any BS and called me when they were in. They even gave me a ride home...
great info
This is great info, I was wondering about oil temps as well. Please keep us posted on your progress. This car is my daily driver/open track car and not intended for competition but I will still need to keep temps under control.
Thanks for the research and knowledge sharing, I'm sure...
brake noise
Just got my car back from dealer for brake squeal. They are ordering rotors and pads, none in stock right now.
Hopefully it will be a good fix.

squealing brakes
My brakes squeal so loud my wife said she could hear it pulling up to a stoplight this morning and she was in the car ahead of me. Can be a little embarrassing in parking lots.
Are the dealers just going to replace with the same pads or did Ford come up with a new compound?

too much stress
Not trying to be a dick here, but I don't understand why this is so stressful. This is buying a new car, it isn't watching one of your children suffer through cancer. In five years nobody on this planet (including you) will care even a little bit that you had to wait a month for...
cars built?
If the car in the pictures is #52 does that mean at least 52 of them have been built so far?
I hope Saleen does well, the more choices we have for pieces and parts the better for all of us.

real or not
If I lived near the ad I would have bought them real or not. They look like really nice seats. They would make great track seats for the summer (I have really gotten use to the heated seats for winter).
I say nice score.

packages
I agree with the packages concept not being very buyer friendly for some (myself included), I wanted the memory seats but not any of the other options that go with that package.
As far as people liking the "raw" Mustang, that was probably true when we didn't have so many really good...
first track experience
The first track event I did was Laguna Seca in my brand new 89 Mustang GT, I did the class room school and listened to the instructors give their pre track talks and even went with an instructor in his car (66 GT350). Then it was my turn, after a couple of laps I was...
