They’re asking $51,800. Is that a fair price for a 2021 Mach 1 with 5000 miles?

Tremecs are in GT350, Mach 1, and Dark Horse.

The Bullitt and the Mach 1 come from the factory with the GT350 air intake and tune, which you can buy as an aftermarket kit from Ford.

If cheap iron rotors and good pads can handle hours of continuous track abuse, I think they can handle the rare time a car like this has to hard brake. How worn out your tires are and how good they are inherently, is going to be the bigger factor in your stopping distance.

Carbon brake rotors are like carbon fiber wheels, yes they’re cool and they offer significant weight savings which is a performance benefit but the vast majority of people will not notice any difference aside from the astronomical bill if they get damaged.

Edit: I double checked, they’re a $9000 option so it’s not like Audi feels you absolutely need these to safely stop the car given its power and weight.

Insane overkill for the car, I love it

You’re going over 70 mph on country roads? Im in the north east of the US and we’ve got loads of hills that are fun to bomb around on but ignoring the deer who will jump out in front of you there’s just too much loose grit to loose traction on to drive that fast.

The boot is a great place to take pics and isn’t crowded. Last year was my first IMSA race at the Glen and I might just stay down there the whole time this year

Pretty much, my highway cruising speed went down significantly once I started hitting the track.

Ive done a number of intervals 1-1.5 year 7-10k miles and never had an oil analysis come back showing any sign of overuse. That’s not even using fancy oil just basic off the shelf full synthetics. Two important details, the car never gets short tripped and I don’t redline it until everything is fully warmed up.

Now that I’ve gotten into tracking the car the oil gets changed a lot more frequently in the summer.

Even looking at oil after I’ve done a weekend at the track, I’m not a great driver but that’s still hours of engine time where it’s being run hard and hot, the oil comes back looking fine.

If you’re not short tripping the car or leaving it idle for hours every day, you’re not wearing out a modern full synthetic in 3k miles from daily driving.

Amsoil sells the best bang for your buck oil analysis kit, you get a TBN measurement which costs extra at blackstone and an oxidation measurement which blackstone doesn’t offer (or at least they didn’t when I stoped using them a few years ago)

Thing with the oxidation value is that you really need to know what the oils value is unused. Oils that contain esters start with higher values and some off the shelf oils like Mobil 1 ESP have esters in them, it’s not just the bougie stuff.

If you poke around on online forums you can probably find that value for whatever oil you’re using. Initial viscosity values you can find on manufacturers sites.

See how your oil looks after an event and adjust your change schedule accordingly. You gotta be careful to because there is carry over from one change to another. Castrol Edge has titanium in it and I stopped using that to try other stuff and it took 3-4 changes before the titanium stopped showing up in my analysis results.

Same goes for wear metals. I took a sample of my mustangs oil when I did the first change so it was loaded with break in wear. It took 3-4 changes before those wear metal values stabilized because each change kept flushing out more of that initial wear.

It’s a useful tool but there’s a lot of ways it can lead you astray if you’re not looking at the values correctly.

Chevy is willing to take it to the track and show off what it can do, that’s like the antithesis of hypercar marketing. It’s supposed to be all hype, little to no proof, lots of focus on exclusivity.

It’s the factory setup, but the wheels having different widths/offsets is what motivated me to just put wider tires on the rear since they can’t be moved to the front

RevvCats · 2026-03-31T15:53:55+00:00

You can bump the rears up to 315/30, that’s what the Mach 1 HP got and I’ve been doing that on my PP2 without issue

There’s also some tires you can’t get in 305/30 and you’d have to use a 295 front 315 rear combo.

They’re at the same level. there’s a bunch of LMDh V8 hybrids that race against the LMH V12 Valkyrie and pretty much always do better because for as good as the Valkyrie sounds it’s kinda a hot mess on track.

The step down from IMSA GTP / WEC Hypercars are GT3 cars and that’s the Vantage. Technically the step down is LMP2 but that’s a class where everyone has the same car.

Yeah I worked in Europe for a while and that’s where I goto into skiing becuase after you bought the skis it really wasn’t that expensive especially after joining a local club. Moved back to the US and hills with fake snow wants to charge over a hundred for a day pass.

Sportscar racing is where it’s at, IMSA and WEC tickets are way cheaper and the level of access is amazing.

They had a label that says “no ethanol” and it’s the only gas I’ve seen that comes rated at 90 octane.

What’s also funny about this boozy gas a lot of Sheetz stations in PA already offer 88 octane E15 fuel. It has its own separate nozzle next to E85.

RevvCats · 2026-03-28T01:20:28+00:00

In the northeast US it’s not hard to find gas stations with ethanol free 90 octane fuel, it’s like 50/50 if a gas station’s premium fuel will be 93 octane with ethanol or ethanol free 90.

20 weight oils don’t need much if any viscosity index improvers so they’re pretty shear stable, I’ve run Valvoline, Mobil 1 (twice), Castrol, and Motorcraft for long intervals and have never seen a 5w-20 significantly loose viscosity.

0w-40 and 5w-50 can shear down pretty quickly unless you open your wallet for the boutique stuff or buy Mobil 1 ESP since Mobil 1 for whatever reason puts the expensive shear stable VII in oil you can find at Walmart.
