Any time spent on a road course is fun, except if it is raining.

Looking forward to seeing your video and data

I'm with you. Don't take that BS from these guys who think turning left and right is so fun. Bah.

Besides, I enjoy any race where a Mustang hands it to a Camaro.

Agreed mate..........20 years in navy, 14 at sea, going to take a lot to shame me, besides the beltline in raleigh that goes around the city is about a 50 mile loop and you run around it at 60 to 80 everyday so it's a track too lol.....except at night

After my first day of racing i am proud to announce i MATCHED my previous best lap that i set with my dad'd (modified) cayman S. i was only tracking my completely stock track pack equipped mustang.
unfortunately i was on track to set another personal best lap but i didn't compensate for brake fade enough and went off the track . so ive officially decided what my first mod will be. 14 in. rotors all around and 4 piston baers up front.

i will try and get the traqmate data posted after the weekend is over. no video that will have to wait for some other time.

A BBK may not be necessary. Are you already running DOt 4 fluid, better pads, SS lines and front brake cooling?

no, i am still completely stock still. one of my goals for the new rotors is to drop a little mass as well. im not sure what brake pads my track pack car comes with, ive only read "performance pads". this track day was just a base line before i do all my upgrades over the summer.

how would i add front brake cooling?

Do a little research in this forum before deciding to go to a BBK. A lot of people who do track days only use stock rotors with the upgrades above. As rotors are consumables it is much cheaper to replace stock rotors.

A cost effectivw upgrade is the GT500 Brembo kit which include SS lines.

With any BBK you have to make sure your wheels will fit.
