    GT350 Track Tire Options

    Per the guys at Hoosier/Conti I ran them at 35psi hot. I run -2.75 camber up front and the stock setting on the rear. Zero degree toe. I think adjustable camber arms are on the winter upgrade list... a -1.5 or -2 setting in the rear will help with grip at trackout and help with wear.

    GT350 Track Tire Options

    I ran my ECFs for three hard HPDE days. I shaved lap times throughout the weekend. (BIR Donnybrooke and Competition Course). My times were actually better than with my used Pirelli slicks.( I have a couple friends with M2s running ECFs as well and they are showing fast times and consistent...

    Here is the response I received from Continental: Matt, Thanks for visiting the Coni Website to submit your question. I would recommend starting your Cold Pressure Settings @ 26 – 28 psi and after a 20 – 30 minute track session, your HOT pressures should be no higher than 35 psi. Feel free to...

    I also put a note into Conti directly to see what they say.

    Continental Tire Extreme Contact Force Impressions and Feedback

    I was on a short track (no highspeed corners) and ran them from 36 to 38 hot. 32-34 seemed too soft when they were hot. I also saw wear pretty far onto the sidewall (used some tire chalk to mark the sidewall and wear ranges). The 36-38 range seemed to solve that a bit without getting too hard...

    First event on the new Continental Extreme Contact Force

    I haven’t swapped to my streets yet so can’t see the entire tire, but from what I can see, I’m happy with initial wear. The track we ran is very tough on tires because the surface is pretty bad. I can usually see some deg on the shoulders but not what I had expected on theses. I’ll take some...

    First event on the new Continental Extreme Contact Force

    Hi TMO gang. Ran my first event with the new Conti ECFs. Initial impressions are positive. I'm running a staggered set up, 295/30/19 up front and 315/30/19 in back. It took about three laps on the short track we ran to get up to temp, but once they reached a good operating temp, they came in...

    Be Careful With S550/GT350 Wheel Studs

    Interesting conversation and anecdotes. Good to hear others experiences. I haven't torqued past 120# on wheel nuts for the past 3 years of tracking. Especially on my flow forged aluminum wheels with slicks. I always check torque after the hubs have cooled from track temps and have never had an...
