Base GT track day limits

[cth777]

$380 Mishimoto radiator on BF sale
$460 Mishimoto oil cooler on BF sale
$520 custom diff cooler
$600 R calipers
$75 Powerstop Z26 pads
$400 rotors
$30 fluid



Why do you need all that to be safe and reliable? And if you you need NLS and autoblip to be fast, maybe you shouldn't be tracking your car.

I never said it was the best, but for the money it's tough to beat. A $33k base GT with $30k in mods is going safer, faster and more reliable than your stock M1 for the same price.

Again, I'm asking what you think is a faster, safer and more reliable car for $35k new. And honestly, not sure why you're even in this thread. People are talking about GTs, why don't you go troll the M1 forum. Not everyone has unlimited money to spend on track cars and need to set lap records everywhere they go.

Quick Q - were you using the Z26 pads on track?

Yes, but only moderately and not on brake heavy tracks. Just starting out, OEM PP pads or Z26s (with good cooling and fluid) are more than capable for novices/intermediates on smallish tracks.

If you're starting to push your car, or are driving on a high speed / long braking zones type of track you'll certainly want to go a step up as you're going to cook these quickly. They are meant for the street and light tracking.

I guess I could use them for trackcross at least then. They might be a bit overmatched on summit point main or Watkins glen lol
