    I'll own up to doing that also. Trailered the car to the track for the first time with the Mustang. Half a lap is not enough time to get some temp into Cup 2's. Looped it off track in the 2nd of 3 consecutive hairpins at low speed. Every photo... (see full post)

    I went with a 305's all the way around. These do not come in a 315 but do come in a 325 but the 325's were out of stock.

    You will likely use a lower tire pressure than with the PS4s. Stevbd is correct if the weather and pavement are cold, but if the weather is warm ( along with the pavement) there should be little or no difference in warm up. Surprisingly I suggest...

    Just adding - my MT82 is crunchy around town at low RPM. Never complains at redline. (see full post)

    It's also a matter of the right pressures and suspension. If you are not taking good care of your tire pressures during a track day aka checking in/center/out temperatures and making sure your pressures are not rising to the moon by bleeding them...

    I'm new-ish to track days and HPDE, with a handful of laps at a couple of tracks. The best way to learn something is when you have to teach others, so I researched it and wrote up a detailed guide a few months ago. It's helped me understand... (see full post)

    I'd recommend a front camber setting of at least -3*. -3.5* would be better. Rear camber set to -1.8*.
