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...

I have had the clamps on my exhaust for two years now. I loosened to adjust the exhaust position just a couple months ago. They loosened and tightened with no problems. The “rounded” heads are held in place because they ride in a curved channel and the bottom of the heads are curved so they sit...

From what I've heard, turn 9 at Roebling is actually the most common crash location on the track. So much so they repaint the wall each month. Usually it is from someone dropping a wheel and then trying to pull it back on the track and running straight into the wall. Mine was a little...

I think removing the factory seats disables the airbags in the S650. I know when I removed the factory seat wiring, the airbag light illuminated, and it has stayed on since. I had an incident at Roebling Road in August where I hit the pit lane wall off turn 9, and no airbags deployed. The...
