    2015 Mustang GT PP @ MSR Cresson 1.7 CW

    I had a blast last weekend in my 2015 GT PP with The Drivers Edge at MSR Cresson near Forth Worth Texas. The car did very well for a basically stock car and hung with the big boys including my Dad's C6Z06. Some cars that fell to the lowly Mustang include an Aston Martin DB9, C6 Z06's, C6 Grand...

    Steering Mode Selection

    What steering modes does everyone prefer for driving events? I've read some people saying the Sport mode causes rubber band effects and to use Normal etc etc. I'm curious to know what the more serious drivers think.

    S550 Performance Pack Brake Pad Questions

    I'm signed up to go to MSR Cresson in March for a total of 8 twenty minute sessions. I'll have maybe 5000 miles at most on the car by that time, all DD duty so the OEM pads should still be in pretty good shape. My question is, has anyone had much experience yet tracking with the OEM pads? Did...

    5mm Spacer on Stock Studs

    For my 2015 GT PP I ordered a set of wheels with a +40 offset and the vendor said I may need a 5mm spacer up front to clear the brakes. The car is mostly a DD but I do a Drivers Edge event every so often at MSR Cresson or TWS etc. Will a 5mm spacer be safe or do I need to look into ARP studs...

    Best Budget Wheels for Corner Carving

    I've been looking to replace my 2015 GT Performance Pack staggered wheels with a 19X10 or 19X9.5 squared setup. The bad news is I can't spend $350-500 per wheel doing it. I had the SVE Drift's on my 2013 GT and they seemed to be OK but the paint chipped easily and the center caps faded poorly...

    Tire Sizes for 2015 GT PP

    I am not thrilled that my 2015 GT PP came with a staggered setup but I figured I should make the best of it for now until I can afford to upgrade the rims. I do 2-3 track events per year for fun, no competition except with my Dad! Anyway I'm looking to go ahead and swap out the Pzero's with...

    Tuning and Tracking

    Do you guys usually get a tune on your car for road course events? I know power isnt all that important in road courses, but what's everyone experience? I'm contemplating getting an AED tune for my car later in the year but was just curious what other corner carvers have to day on the matter.

    Torsen vs OEM LSD

    Ive been pondering what I may be missing not having a Torsen rear diff on my 2013 GT. I've been to a handful of driving events now and I'm ignorant enough to not know what would I be feeling different if I upgraded to the Torsen vs the standard TractionLok that comes on the non track pack cars...

    Road Course Spins and Runs

    Had a blast last weekend at Motor Sports Ranch Cresson south of Fort Worth. Had a few "wups" moments naturally. Also some amazing footage of a Shelby GT350 and Bryan (the owner) was not afraid to remember its roots as a race car. It has Carol's signature on the dash and everything, awesome...

    Strange Brake Issue

    Last week I changed out my pads to Hawk Street/Strip pads front and back. I also bled the system and changed from dot 3 to dot 4 fluid (Motul). Everything was fine for a week after, no issues at all. Then the unthinkable happened, i let the valet drive it... It came back with a ripped front...

    MSR Cresson 3.1 Mile Track - DriversEdge

    From last weekends Driver's Edge track days. My final and best/fastest session. This was my Blue group trial run after being in Green the entire weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhCX5Q1EP3Q UhCX5Q1EP3Q Session 5 was solid as well but was in a slower run group (Green) so I...

    Track Traction Control Settings

    What do you guys recommend for a 2013 GT at MSR Cresson 3.1 mile track? Sport Mode? TC Off? All Off? There's a good chance one of these days this weekend I'll be on a wet track in the rain so I'm leaning toward keeping everything on during that time and putting it in sport mode...

    2013 GT Track Questions

    I just got a 2013 GT with Brembo package and want to take it to some Drivers Edge track sessions. Each session is 20 minutes of all out balls to the wall running and temps in Texas are usually around 70-80 degrees when I plan to go. Drivers Edge weekends are Saturday and Sunday, roughly 4 20...
