    S550 Track GT500

    Seems that running full 30 minute sessions at many tracks may be a problem. Particularly at a roval course where the banking can cause fuel starvation issues. Any ideas on how to resolve?

    ARCHETYPE RACING Vengeance Track Spec Canards are back!

    Is there any wind tunnel testing data to show the effect of these aero modifications? Understand that the canards are designed to modify the airflow as it goes down the side of the vehicle, but was exact impact would have and in what situations? As this product is clearly engineered and...

    Carbon Fiber wheels on track - An Update

    Thought I'd post a note about my use of the oem cf wheels on track after owning my R for around 1.5 years. I had originally debated whether to use the cf wheels on track, street, neither or both. I settled on using them on track day events only (with the sc2 tires) and have used aftermarket...

    What did you do to your GT350 or S550 Mustang today?

    Thanks for the tip - ordered a Conti elite belt.

    What did you do to your GT350 or S550 Mustang today?

    This would only qualify as an addition by subtraction. Has anyone been removing (clipping) their 350 accessory drive belt prior to track days? Had a recent drive belt failure at Daytona, which then took out the serpentine, causing a quick overheating situation. Fortunately was able to quickly...

    Daytona with Audi Club of Ohio and Hooked on Driving December 6-8

    Dave Pierson with the Audi club confirms there will also be night driving at this year's event, on both Fri and Sat nights! Should be fairly epic. I'm showing 43 signed up already with 13 Mustangs of various flavors. 'Mustang Alley' will once again be the place to be.

    OEM Front Calipers & Rotors replaced under warranty

    Yep, I'm leaning towards the AP kit for the fronts. May wait until the warranty replaced fronts give out again. Did you just do the fronts and keep rears oem? Which pads did you go with? I'm currently using ST-45 up front and stock in rear. Also using the CF wheels and SC2's. Am at Road...

    OEM Front Calipers & Rotors replaced under warranty

    Well, after 8 total track day sessions (Roebling, Sebring, Daytona) in my 2018 R, the front Brembo caliper boots were deformed as well as the front discs being cracked. This was all replaced under the 12 month brake warranty period. That's all well and good except for the fact that I fully...

    Yes, totally controllable and not grabby.

    ST45's have worked very well at both Daytona and Sebring, excellent performance and minimal wear. My other brake pad experience on this car is only with the stock organic pads, which work well but wear down quickly. Note that the ST45's - when new at Sebring left a heavy residue on the CF...

    That is just crazy quick. My best was actually 2:33 - Sunday 2nd session (misread the 2:28). On a side note, I discovered fairly significant metallic rust type deposits on the CF wheels when I cleaned them up on Monday (see photo). I was using Raybestos ST-45 pads for the first time and...

Is followed by the Steve Martin/Martin Short concert at Hard Rock in Orlando and the Celebration exotic car show &...
