2022 Mach 1 at Area 27, track day! 

Thanks for the comments. Car is bone stock other than cage and brake fluid. Was running a new set of Cup2’s. Mach 1 is twice the car my 2015 GT was, well a lot better for sure. No fade at all, probably could have pushed harder. I am considering a chatterbox to talk to wife it’s hard with wind noise, really have to yell.

@@turnbullgarage88 Really did not expect you'd be happy for that long with the stock brake pads. I have that on mine, but have a set of rather agressive Hawk DTC70/DTC60 race pads on standby. I may try my 1st track in this car (M1 HP) on stock pads + fresh fluid based on your valuable input after a few track days. We have the same driving style so this should work while I '"learn" this car's dynamics. I bought a second set of Ford Performance HP wheels for dry track tires, and original HP wheels for street/wet track days. Went with GoodYear SuperCar 3R and Conti Extreme Contact Sport 02 tires respectively (100TW and 340TW). Up'ed the rear sizes from 315/30 to 325/30 on both. Heard your comment on the limited 2.75* camber up front on stock HP camber plates. Wondering if the special Steeda drill bit to enlarge the strut hole would work with our stock plates, or aftermarket is a must ... Did you get an alignment done with plates full-in and full-out to see what the resulting Toe settings are? I am considering getting a compromise toe adjustment, sitting in between the two extremes camber settings myself. The Ford M1 HP supplement manual states 0.1* toe for either street and track, but toe changes as we shift our camber plates around ...

@dcaron9999 I have found Hawk pads to be too harsh on rotors. I have a set of used Carbotech front pads, those were great. All that said, I still have braking “in reserve” when I went a little too hot into a corner. The factory pads to perform well. I didn’t do an alignment when I used the factory camber plate stops. I may get camber bolts for the upper strut bolt. I have not don’t research on that yet.

Thanks. Yes I manually hit button at the start stripe. I am editing a new video now with a better camera set up. Just got back from another day at Area 27.

No. I’ve tried the no lift shift and I don’t like it. It is cool but I prefer old school. Thanks for the comments.
