Wow, that's great news about the Mach1! Those Nitto's are terrible track tires, even in ideal conditions, so that's exactly what I would expect of them. I can't wait to see the video!

This sounds like a job for the dealership or a reputable shop, then. Keep yourself safe amigo!

Been there, regretted that! July 2022 in Kershaw, SC. 91 degrees and 48% humidity, which is way lower than what you're going to face! It was still brutal, and I don't recommend it... the advice given above is all great! My additional advice is: Do not run your air conditioner while on track...

Please post some pics of your build!

I can't imagine how many AC compressors people will go through if this is the case.

Queue the Boromir meme: One does not simply plan for a nasty rollover... I watched in horror as the brakes failed on a Mustang GT going over 125mph into turn 8 at Carolina Motorsports Park last October. His car went tumbling into the trees. Fortunately for him he had a 4 point roll bar, racing...

Yes that is interesting! Joe was very certain that I had done it wrong.. Here is Joe talking about it in a video where he has the harnesses run through the middle of the bars:

Danger Will Robinson! The harnesses go through the middle of the headrest bars, not the outside, since they can slip over the side during a nasty rollover. This is as described by Joe Marko, the owner of HMS Motorsport in Mooresville, NC... when I did the same thing that you did and he saw me...

It was the #18 car. It was being driven by a member but was in the process of going to Town and Country.

@TRDFurgesson you are beating that track like it owes you money! 😁 @Mikegotamach Do not try to do what @TRDFurgesson is doing when you go to the track or we will see a "WTB: New Mustang" ad on here 😂

You are wise beyond your years, @2morrow :cool: @Mikegotamach This ^^^ Also, flush and replace your brake fluid with something like ATE 200... if your brake fluid boils while you're at the track, you're done until you flush it. I wouldn't worry about going with the more expensive racing...

Yep, it all depends on how deep the pockets are and how protected @Mikegotamach wants the car to be on the street as well..

If you are worried about rock chips on your front bumper, hood and windshield, it is because you care about your car's appearance. I recommend at the very minimum to put some painter's tape on the front bump and front of the hood. That is what people who rarely track will do... but if you are...

I am actually really impressed with how well the dealership took care of you while you were there... free coffee and donuts... free windshield wipers and they came to you to fix the brake problem. That's really impressive. It stinks that they couldn't get the correct bolts, but as they say "sh*t...

Amen brother... they can get bent if they think I'm not going to protect myself.

There are 2 lessons that everyone should learn from this: 1) Get a radar detector. I use a Uniden R7 and it's freaking brilliant! It has saved my butt so many times, it has paid for itself 10 times over. My other Mustang is a 2013 Shelby GT500 with > 700rwhp and it idles at 80mph! I live in the...

Sweet! I'm glad you got the refund!

Time to send this info to your CC company and request a charge back.

Wow... this is an incredible car for an incredible price.. it should sell quickly!

Well, it's the performance that I want.. I guess Ford never really expected Mustangs with a performance pack to be driven on track or they'd have made them better track cars... but I digress. For the OP, hopefully you can find the torque specs that you need. One thing I suggest doing is using...
