BTW, I read your posts about the upgrade, and I'm impressed you saw the whole project through. I don't know that I would have had the fortitude to complete that. LOL

Track driving on road courses (HPDE) it is usually around 218-221. I did have it get to 230 on a couple of occasions back when I was allowing it to shift on its own in auto mode a few times when the weather was cooler. I never got any code or warning, but the transmission started acting up at...

I track mine with the stock PP rotors and have had no issues. I just replaced the front rotors and yet going through 3 1/2 sets of brake pads, and they probably would have been ok for another set of pads. It may be worth looking at upgrading to PP brakes and adding the cooling components as well.

I second this. I custom ordered a 2023 BMW X3. It cost close to the same as my Mustang. Interior quality to me is on par with the Mustang. The iDrive 7 infotainment system is worse than Sync 4 in my Mustang and F250. Don’t even try to take your phone out of the X3 when using CarPlay. You’ll...

This was Chin.

Instructor. They had several novice cancellations and offered free instructors for anyone who was interested since they had instructors without students. I was happy to take them up on the offer for a session!

Another from Road Atlanta.

I use the ZL1 tow hook on mine. It seems to be solid.

I currently have an Intech race trailer with an extended ramp. No issues loading. I previously used an equipment trailer and had some extended Race Ramps in addition to aluminum ramps. There are lots of options for low cars as long as you measure to make sure it will work. Here’s a photo of my...

The tow hook makes it much easier to load the car using a winch. I use it every time I load my car on the trailer. I can’t imagine trying to winch it without the tow hook.

The Quick Fit Pro is 4 point, but you can add the sub straps to make it 6. https://www.schroth.com/en/racing/racing/details/show/anti-sub-strap-ii/

If I ever decide I want any to start racing, then that may be a concern. Right now I’m happy with running 200TW endurance tires. Getting into racing would be a whole different mindset with my existing build.

Funny you mention that. I almost said in my previous post that I already have the barrels of my wheels marked up from marbles getting stuck on the calipers. I imagine it would be worse with 18’s. It doesn’t matter to me since they are track use, but if it was a daily then it might bother me.

Good to hear it’s possible. I just know my 19’s don’t have much clearance with the wheel weights, so I imagine the weight placement would be very important with 18’s.

The vast majority of the modifications I have made for track use on my GT PP are suspension related. Camber plates, springs, sway bars / end links, rear toe links, rear camber arms, subframe braces, etc are the most useful upgrades in my opinion. Some are not essential, but aftermarket parts...

I couldn't find the installation instructions online, but I think removal of the steering wheel may be required.

Does anyone have experience with the Zen Carbon Fiber Magnetic Paddle shifters? I was looking for an option to extend the paddles, but was not really loving the idea of just taping on some extensions. I came across these, and if they work, it could be a nice upgrade for use on the track...

No, it’s not the same. The DH cooler is mounted where it gets airflow through the rear valance, so no fan is used. The MMR cooler has a fan so it can be mounted underneath where there is not adequate airflow just from driving. You could put a DH cooler on a GT, but you’d have to change the...

I know working on exhaust some of the spaces are very tight, so it makes it easier to work with when things are a compact as possible. I’ve never considered the clamps to be poorly designed because they’ve never given me any trouble. After doing suspension work, nothing seems more simple than...
