It does make sense with the changes in crown across the tread as well as the width of the contact patch with changing tire pressure. I was originally, in error, only thinking about the tire in two dimensions instead of three.

I agree that makes sense. I wasn’t thinking about the center of the tread bulging with higher pressure, which would result in a larger circumference.

Update: Hurricane (now Tropical Storm) Debby is slowwwwwly making its way through my hometown. All the family lost power between 10-11 this morning. Hopefully it gets restored before too long. They’re warning of up to a week for restoration. My parents and kids are fine, but I know it’s tough...

Interesting. I’ll have to read up on how those work. From a physics standpoint I’m not seeing how the circumference would change unless it is about how much crown the tire has at different t pressures.

Thank you!

I don’t see how low pressure could decrease circumference thereby increasing wheel speed. The radius decreases, but it is not a circle and the circumference is simply stretched out further on the road and is exactly the same as when fully inflated. It seems to me unless the tire is slipping on...

Not a chance. 😂

:headbang:Apparently in my life Mustangs and hurricanes go hand in hand. Last August (2023) my car was in transport in the middle of Hurricane Idalia. I picked it up from the dealer on September 1, the day after the hurricane had just come through and made a mess of our town. I was still without...

I’m using the OBDLink EX and was able to get the persistent gear display to work with FORScan. I have not tried to make any other changes.

I spent more than what I "needed" when I bought the Mustang.:cwl: I do get your point, and I agree with you about the waste in just buying parts simply to say you have them.

When I bought my PP I wasn't really thinking about tracking it, but I wanted the leather seats, single screen, Brembos, 3.55 Torsen, spoiler, and ability to get Magneride. I was willing to pay the extra money over a base GT for those items even though tracking was not my plan. Now that I have...

Sounds like the best bet is just to wire a new switch. Thanks for the feedback!

It is. If you’ve never done a track day, I highly recommend it!

I am certainly no expert in automotive electronics, so while I have a vague idea of the protocols, I don't know enough about them to interpret what that means for my application. What I would hope is that the blank switch "button" would toggle a wire between 0V and 12V which I could then tap...

My apologies for the similar thread. I did search, but apparently did not use sufficient terms to pull up the old thread. Thanks for the link. The wiring diagram is helpful. I may see if I can get it to work.

I have a job 1 GT without the Auto Start/Stop, and as a result the leftmost button on the switch panel is blank and unused. I am wondering if anyone has looked to see if the panel is wired in a way that the blank button could be used to switch on/off an aftermarket accessory? I need to add a...

Didn't think to take any since I was swapping brake pads and wrapping the exhaust late Friday to get it ready for the track on Saturday. I'll post some pics when I get the diff cooler installed, but it will be a couple of weeks before I get to that.

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.
