Hey Folks,
I'm just posting a quick introduction -- new to Mustangs -- but not new to high speed driving events. I've been tracking different cars for 30 plus years.
I've just bought my wife an S197 V6 six speed for her next track car. She's been driving my NA Miata for the last three years, and is ready for something (anything) with more power.
Our home track, Calabogie Motorsports Park, has a fleet of V8 Mustangs, all managed by Powersports Garage. The owner of Powersports recommended the Maximum Motorsports Grip Box package for the car, and we are awaiting delivery (some parts are back-ordered, and my fingers are crossed it ships soon).
This year the focus will be on reliability, and her becoming acquainted with a much heavier, and more powerful, car on the track. We will run a smaller tire (235/50/18 on an 8.5 OEM GT wheel). Not sure about what pads to run . . . I use a true track pad on my M2, but that may be overkill for the Mustang.
Looking forward to learning from the community.
Rob
