In case you're worrried... I've found that a lot of people new to the Track Day hobby are unaware something like this exists. I am in no way affiliated with them; however, I have heard stories that work out just fine... In fact, I've used them myself but never had to USE them... It can relieve...
Yup. ;)
"Oh my camera phone has X megapixels..."
You can't explain some things to some people... Nice car. Good for you. Bring it to the track, Jack.

I also like Performance Friction pads, especially the PFC97, which they did away with except for a Miata fitment a vendor had made. That is an endurance pad and when I went to an AP Racing brake kit for my BRZ, Jeff Ritter at Essex Parts recommended the Ferrodo DS1.11 - as it is also an...
Yup. Unfortunately, the only way to really compare and "know" tires is to buy them.
Michelin Pilot Super Sport is good stuff. It will be interesting to see how the wear is on this fat pig. :D
I was extremely impressed with the grip from the "regular" Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. When I looked them up I was very surprised to see that they are a 300TW rating. Wow. I've never been in the Super Sport market for tires. Michelin knows how to do it.
In that same 305 size, there...
This does not answer your question, but it does provide a solution.
I owned a 2007 Ford Fusion. I sold it with 170k miles. I never changed the brake pads, and the A/C was the best I've ever owned. Never had a problem with it.
Used Fusions can be had for $3,000, with less miles than...
I think you may be very surprised how track capable this car is. I made a point to ride in and drive a non-R car at Sebring. It's head and shoulders above any other Mustang I've ridden in or driven on a racetrack.
If I owned a regular GT350, I'd by a spare set of 19x11 wheels and run 305...
All of those things are your definition and viewpoint. You're not wrong, and neither are they. I'd be inclined to agree with your viewpoint, but track turds also don't bother me.
Some people experience the car hobby differently than others. People have their own definition for what their ownership experience is - and they're right. It's easy to have some fun with those who pay extreme detail to what they want. That's their definition of "fun", and there's nothing...
That's not *my* joint. I'll bet there is something like it near you, though.
Another idea, a few miles from the house is a small, local airport. Hangers there are privately owned. I stored a trailer in one for $100/month for several years. The owner of the hanger had some planes and...
We need to clear some of these "Beyonce dressing room" demands / deliveries out so market pricing forces can start eating at these track hammers. :usa:
