Thanks! My interest is peaked re Part 2.........

 

[Sparko]

Thank you Iceman for sharing that. I wonder why no one else has compared these fine cars like they did.

 

[SteveWK]

Love the B58 Hustler reference.

Pretty good write-up there.

 

[Hwy. Chile]

Thanks for the link. A lot of positives from both cars.

Nice article, very honest and did not hold anything back. So the verdict is in: several articles have stated that for track duty, the brakes are not sufficient. Duly Noted!

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Bravo!

Great read!

"Boom bap, bitch!" Haha. :lol:

Great article

 

[cbrmuscle]

If the biggest flaw with these cars is fixed with a simple brake pad and fluid swap... I am beyond impressed. Kudos Ford!

I have yet to read an article or see a video of an evaluation on the GT500 that didn't say the brakes were lousy. Some owners on here say it simply needs a higher performance fluid swap before tracking, now this article sounds like it's saying it needs a different pad on it as well. :shrug:

Great write up

I really enjoyed the write up, I don't have my GT500 yet but I do foresee different pads any:idea:

 

[bluediamond]

I enjoyed that very much, well done!
I assume for 14' we will only see color changes,
but it would be nice if Ford addressed the issue with the
brake fade. Im sure a different pad would help...although a
softer compound may cause excessive brake dust etc.

I doubt that it does because I have not read that it does but how about a brake fluid recirculation system? wonder if that would be a help. I doubt We (as in our car) will ever need it but I think rouse got in trouble a few years back with nascar due to the design I said a few but it was quite a few years back that that happened or he propsed it and they said no something like that it keeps the brake fluid boil out of the caliper.
