Nice car!!
How'd the car perform?

 

[seabee133]

It did great! First time on a track like this. Dropped 21 seconds from first session to final session. Brakes did great. I loved it. Working on getting some go pro footage up this week on YouTube.

I believe it's supercharged, right? How long were your sessions, how was it from heat management perspective?

Supercharged, yes. Friday afternoon it was pushing 95 degrees plus, and I did notice a loss in power. I could start a session and hit 145/150 on back straight and then towards end, I would be topping out at 135.. The sessions were (4) 20 min sessions on friday, and (3) 30 minute sessions on Saturday. Saturday was cooler, so power stayed longer. My last session I went through 3/4 of a tank in the 30 mins. I was able to hit 154 top speed on the back stretch. 144 on front stretch and hit 120's in the essess. I also managed to hit a curb just right to get 2 wheels off the ground at one point.

Nice, thanks for details. 95 degrees is pretty tough even on NA car. I guess you didn't monitor CHT's? Just wondering at which point did the car star pulling down power.

You likely have these additional side radiators kit, so it should have helped: https://www.roushperformance.com/pa...1-roush-supercharged-max-cooling-upgrade.html

I'm taking my TO GT with roush blower to the track this weekend, it will be between 35-48F ambient, should be fun

Yup, ran those blowers after each run. I was only monitoring the stuff showing in the system, so the iats, head temps, tpms and my trans and oil temps.. My head temps were typically about 225-230.. I think the highest it hit was 235/240..Overall though, I was happy with how it performed... I drove the car almost 600 miles to the track, did the event, drove it back home with no problem.. 24 mpg on the highway, probably about 6 mpg on the track lol and then 24 mpg on the way home.. cant complain with that lol

Some shots from Mustang Week.

Love those pics! Really pro looking. What is your front grille?

A few pics from our 5800 mile trip out west last month through South Dakota & Wyoming....I stopped at a rest area and parked next to this Vette and was surprised when a little old lady climbed into the drivers seat.....

Nice shots! The pic with the rock walls I've been there and for the life of can't remember where exactly that was, we did a trip thru SD visiting Mt. Rushmore. Saw the buffalo too. Hope to get out there again when I'm driving my TO 20' GT convertible.

 

[gone_n_60]

Just today at a NAPA a guy was complementing me on how the TO just pops. Almost everywhere I go someone comments on the car. You’re going to have a permanent grin when you get your car.

Then I'm super pumped! I've got deposit down on a TO 2020 GT convertible with the 401A, PP1, Magnaride, active exhaut with only 4,400 miles. Been looking and waiting for years. My first "Must have" was it had to be TO. Posted about it in another thread here.

Thanx….If I remember correctly Custer State Park & Needles Highway…we spent a week in the Black Hills and covered a lot of places…We also did the Badlands,Deadwood & Spearfish canyon too and of course Rushmore…definitely would like to go back.

Right! Custer State Park. It was over 10 yrs back for me, hate to say things go so fast. That drive has the spot where only one vehicle at a time can pass. We watched a tour bus negotiate that pass, I was more nervous than the driver it felt. LOL.

My 2021 Twister Orange:
Tinted windows
I have tried to black out everything possible on it, mostly just because I hate chrome, and wanted just a black and orange look to the car. Not sure if I am totally sold on the "winglets" I added under the fog lamps...loved the look of them on other cars, but once installed, I am not 100% on them yet, but they are growing on me.

 

[SINBUSTER007]

94gt,
pretty! not feeling the wingy-thingy's on the front...but that is your call....
other than that looks good!
