First day on track (open laps)
Brakes significantly fade after 3 laps.
I will be replacing the rotors anyway. I have already installed NAPA coated rotors for the rear but if I am to get performance rotors for the front, then the front and rear won't watch, not sure if this will be a problem.
Replacing the Brake fluid with DOT4 isn't an expensive upgrade and won't compromise street driving, just needs replacing sooner.
Need more testing to see if I need brake cooling ducts.
Transmission seemed to be within "operating range" towards the higher end 105C (221F) - 115C (239).
Based on what I have read online, this is too much and some people have even installed oversized coolers, so a trans cooler is a must if I don't want to mess up my automatic transmission.
Wheel wells could probably cook a whole chicken, but I won't be doing anything regarding that as of now.
One thing that is scaring me on the back of my mind is the OPG.
I have been told it isn't necessary for the 2020 mustangs with no power adders, but what if the mustang sees track? rather not spend an extra 1500$ CAD
