Ya... on a much less expensive scale, lol


What Don's referring to, for those that don't know... I had a black 2012 Mustang GT Vert that I took to TMP. I had never done road course before and I drove the car pretty hard. The brakes were smoking hot when I pulled into the pits. Like, really... I took the video you see below (almost 6 years ago now!)




Anyway, before I went to TMP that day, I was at the local Ford dealership. They had a used Boss on their lot. I tried to deal on it and they didn't like my offer, so I walked away. Then... They called me while I was at the track. He asked if I had changed my mind about the Boss at all. I told him, "No, have you?". He laughed and said he'd call me back. He did and said you have a deal.

I drove my car, TMP number on the windshield and side glass, straight to the dealership from the track that day. I left it with them to swap the wheels (I didn't like the Boss wheels). Picked up the Boss the next day or so.

I went back a couple weeks later. My black vert was on the lot. New front rotors and pads

When I posted the thread about the new Boss 302, I titled it "I upgraded my brakes", lol.

I got a video and pics of smoking brakes too! However I did mine on the back roads here "Braking In" the Hawk Pads

I miss those Brakes. They grabbed so hard but the incessant squeaking drove me loco.

Paul did that to my brakes with Hawk pads as well, Ive never had them smoke myself
