Heading back to the Pilot Sport 4S when the time comes (at least until the Pilot Sport S5 comes to our sizes).
The SC2's have been a blast, I am determined to use them up, and they still have like 4/32 left, so they are almost toast, but I want to run them down to the kevlar.
The DSC Sport really helps the weight transitions. It makes the car extremely predictable on the track. I feel like the DSC Sport responds quicker than the OE magneride controller. When you do spin the tires its again super predictable.
In total I feel like money well spent, but now whats...
I did the whole Steeda GT350/Mach 1 Ultimate handling upgrade. It completely firms up the rear so that I know exactly what its doing. I did this after owning a 2019 PP2 for 3 years.
to be fair, I also installed jacking rails, the DSC Sport Steeda module, and the clutch spring.
my car is a...
So drove it for a solid month, in as many situations as I could realistically trial. Got to take it to Podium Club at Attesa, a track in Casa Grande AZ. Track day + Daily Driving through inner city Phoenix AZ. Car does have the GT350/Mach1 Ultimate Handling Pack from Steeda, 2 point g-trac...
I tracked my car at Podium Club at Attesa in Casa Grande AZ.
Mach 1 is amazing on the track!

Yep, after I posted this I got into the supplemental owners manual with the track brake burnishing process.
After the brakes are burnished, like your 70-20 hard slow downs, the brakes are grippy and work even better than before.
So more thoughts on the brakes....
After following the burnishing process described here:

Doing final go arounds for Track days next weekend.
Put her in track mode and tore up my local highways and major thoroughfares.
May all my Mach 1 brethren have a glorious Saturday.
Ouch. I usually wait until the crack runs/spreads to replace the windshield. Also windshields are subject to stress cracks according to the manual. Yes i RTMF’ed.
Thanks for the advice.
Im finally to a point in my life where i’ve got the resources to track my vehicles.
I did my track week at Bondurant a couple years ago after I got my ‘19 PP2 mustang. Now it is called Radford Racing.
With my Mach 1, I want it to be my dedicated track car, but still...
By stock brakes I mean the pads and rotors. The brembo calipers are great.
But, when I’mtrying to slow it down from75-100mph it’s taking too long without really mashing the brakes.
its perfectly fine for street use, but I am going to need something grippier for the way I use this vehicle.
i...
Thank you for the tip!

Found a local shop.
Now, which type of rotors do I want it to LOOK like, since now durability will not be a problem.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that I will be in the same boat.
I'm on stock brakes, and i don't like how much I have to get into them to really slow me down.
Gonna get the steeda steel brake lines and see how that goes, and plan to move to Hawk DTC 30's, and Hawk rotors too.
Was...
Just ordered the module for my 22 mach1 wHP. This will be on top of the Steeda Mach 1 Ultimate Handling Kit, 2 point G-trac brace, jacking rails. It is already so much better than it was, the rear end is now "THERE", and it is predictable where it goes, before it felt so nebulous/floaty from...
