Just quoting all this here to make it easier for everybody to find and read in one place. That is a 35° F temperature drop from the cooler, if I am reading rijndael's post correctly. But that oil is not very hot, and I imagine the car is sitting still when he is taking those readings.

No.

That is such a personal question . . . I cannot answer it for you. With that having been said, I was looking at a (used) BMW M5 Competition with 617 horsepower when I decided to pull the trigger on a new Dark Horse with the handling package. I do not regret (regrat?) my decision.

Not if you need a back seat but want to track the car in addition to using it for actual driving on the street.

Will it be an extremely rare car there? Do you see other Mustangs?

I don't really understand why you think this is a low price for that sale, but congrats on getting it sold and moving . . . and . . . Whoa! a Dark Horse SC!!!

I missed this thread. Did MMR every upgrade that car with an oil cooler or sort out the clutch issue? My Dark Horse did 5 track sessions in June in Georgia without any limp mode, but I am a Novice and may not be pushing it as hard as a more experienced driver.

Where are you getting your value, and what is the number from that source?

I did not pay that much more than that for mine with only 800 miles last May/June (2024). This does not seem like the values are dropping all that much.

Looks like a cool place to visit...

Torque management? I was talking about heat. When you have nearly a mile of uninterrupted full throttle at the longest point, and lots of full throttle opening at other points on the track (e.g., Michelin Road Atlanta), drivers who can push and have put the car on sticky tires and lots of...

Do these cams retain the computer advance retard, or are they locked?

And 44 of it is in the intake manifold alone.

Probably should not track rotors with holes drilled through them.

Yeah, interested in what the issues are. I have not heard of folks having nothing but trouble yet.

Well, this could be all it is, then. I see others have noticed the smell, too, which is the main reason I posted, to see if others had noticed the same thing.

My oil is 190-195 all the time during normal driving. On the street, I have not managed to get it over 210°

https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/oil-cooler-activation-deactivation.169518/ See post #6: Yes, I do know for sure. The Dark Horse with the oil cooler does have a thermostatic Valve in the filter mount assembly. Although Ford does not announce the temperature of operation, I can verify...

Also, watch how much camber you use on the rear for a track day. There is a balance between turn speed and application of throttle, and the camber setting is not the same for those two. On a high horsepower car, if you like to get on the throttle early, less rear negative camber is desirable...

It sounds like this is your intended use, driving on the street and once a year track, and now you have adjustable camber plates. If I were you (but I am not), I would use the Ford recommendations, and change the setting for the track once a year. Change it back when you are done. It is not a...
