She looked great out there,
Any problems with stones or bugs Chris with the new grill?

Runs cooler too I would think.

This is the Cervini C series grille which I did this year replacing the Lethal Performance grille delete. I would think the grille delete was able to get more air in there but I was just never completely sold on the looks. The Cervini looks much more aggressive and almost has a GT350 look to it. No issues with debris other than some bugs.

I drive to the track, drop the pressures a bit and go and have fun. Then drive home.

What pressure do you run on the street that you are dropping pressure at the track? I guess the better question is: what pressure are you running the tires (hot) at the track?
Just asking because I usually have to add air pressure at the track, then drop it before heading home.

The recommended tire pressure on my car is 35psi cold. On the street, once warmed up that equates to about 40psi. But if I were to run that on the road course, those pressures would go much higher due to the increased heat and make the tires too greasy under those extreme conditions. So I lower it to about 30psi at the track so they come up to about 40psi under track conditions. The front left I may drop an extra pound or two because of the high speed right corners.

Oh, okay, didn't realize the recommended tire pressures on the S550 was that high.
Mine is 30 psi (cold) on the street. So I'm usually adding a bit of air when I get to the track.

I have used stoptech (formerly power slot) rotors in the past so that’s what I went with for this time. I tried out the hawk street/race pads and they worked surprisingly well. I never got brake fade with my heavy boat anchor. I also installed brake cooling ducts though so that could have helped. I never track a car with out a good flush of the fluid. Well the night before the track day I realized that I had emptied out my stock pile of ford HD performance brake fluid....oops. So once the parts place opened at 8am I grabbed stoptech stb 600 fluid. Full system flush when home and good to go. If you track your car often during the season you should at least flush the lines a few times and top up the reservoir. This time for me was the first I think my car has ever had. It was brown and black. Not cool. One of my fav upgrades was my rear control relocation brackets and tubular lower control arms with heim joint ends! Wow. The rear of the car feels 100% more tight. I

Spoke to Joe - owner of black gt350 previous track day session(Spring) and took a ride along. I didn't know that if you bought a gt350 you got admission for this.( on my wish bucket list)
- maybe its included in the price- so Laurence when you buy your gt350 I'd be more than willing to take the admission ticket off your hands if you are not going to use it
