Update: I went back to Discount Tire and swapped the Nitto NT555 G2 305/35r19 and 285/35r19 out for Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 295/35r19 and 275/35r19. I just did not really like the Nitto tires. Discount Tire was great about swapping them out. I’ll upload photos with the new tires once...

I had a great time once again yesterday, 7/27/24, taking my GT out for open track day at The FIRM. This was only my second time out on a track, so I still have a lot to learn, but I’m having a great time. I did switch to my Velgen VF5 wheels (19x11/19x10) and had Continental ExtremeContact...

I think the first sessions are the week of August 5. I’m attending the drag strip session August 7.

In my nearly 7,000lb truck, I do exactly as you described. I don’t get in a hurry, take off easy and brake way in advance of a stop, even when I’m not hauling anything. It’s a truck designed for hauling, not racing. Yet, on the Super Duty forums people are all the time talking about 0-60 times...

I 100% agree. I bought my GT because as a whole I like it the best. That is factoring in price, looks, performance, comfort, and reliability. If all I cared about was the 1/4 mile time, I'd have bought something different. If all I cared about was the fastest lap on the track, how cheap it...

Just to see, I built my exact spec 2024 Mustang with the 2025 builder, and the MSRP is $66,400 versus the $61,270 MSRP of my 2024. That’s a $5,130 or 8.4% increase. Granted some of that increase was made on the 2024 models after my build, but that’s still a pretty big jump. Just the base MSRP is...

Correct. That bend is by design.

That car looks very familiar! :crackup:

Here are some general recommendation from experience. 1. Ask if they can pull the car where you have plenty of room to back up and look at it from all sides with nothing in your way (i.e. not in a parking space next to other cars). It's usually easier to spot things outside with good...

I agree. The Steeda H pipe sounds good and is relatively inexpensive; however, I love the AWE Switchpath I have been running for the last seven months.

I should add, I absolutely love the sound at idle and when really getting on the throttle, and that makes it worth putting up with a little drone.

There is very little drone above 1600rpm. I would say there is still some slight drone, but you almost have to be actively trying to hear it in order to notice.

Yes, I’m still running the AWE Switchpath. It is louder on cold starts, but not to a large degree. I would say quiet mode with the AWE is somewhere between quiet and normal with the stock system. Normal with AWE is again probably between normal and sport mode when stock. While it is a little...

I had the Steeda H pipe on mine for about 3 months and really liked it. I've had the AWE Switchpath since December, so I went back to look at my previous comments about it since couldn't recall exactly what I thought of the volume difference. Here's what I said in that thread:

I had a 2019 PP without Magneride and my 2024 has Magneride. I would absolutely pay the extra for Magneride.

I get about 23.5 on the interstate and 18 with mixed driving. FWIW 4 mpg on the track. 😂

The PP doesn’t have a differential cooler. I plan to add one before the next track day.

I think I may have made a mistake by going to an open track day for the first time yesterday; I’m hooked! I’ve never been in any car on a track previously, so it was somewhat intimidating at first, but after a few laps I fell in love with it. It was fun learning what the car was capable of and...

It’s Dragy Lap. I didn’t even think about it until I got down there and someone said something about Dragy, and sure enough there was a track app. It worked pretty well. PP

It was awesome! 100x more fun than the drag strip!
