[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 14871796, member: 6247"] I've just returned from the Auto-Bahn Country Club in Joliet, IL for the first shakedown with our 2015 Mustang in stock form. The car did surprisingly well overall but the rear of the car felt quite squishy (for lack of a better term) without a clear defined connection of the rear suspension to the track. This is due to the vast amounts of soft rubber in the rear suspension. One thing I noticed was how hot the front rotors would be after coming off the track. This is a standard Mustang GT without the track pack so we have the 14" rotors with the cooling vanes on the outside of the rotor. The rotors were so hot the IR thermometer could not read them. They were hotter than 540 degrees. So I hopped back in the car and drove it around the paddock for about 10 minutes and the rotors only cooled 100 degrees to about 450. I'd also like to note it was about 50 degrees yesterday and very windy. The next session I made a point of doing two cool down laps and when I returned to the paddock the rotors were still over 500 degrees. So these rotors clearly need cooling from the inside. We are working with one of our brake partners on a 2 pc floating rotor and hat assembly that will be cooled from the inside like a normal rotor would be cooled. These would be a perfect compliment to our brake cooling kit for people that do not have the performance pack and want to track their cars. Stay tuned for more updates on this kit and the 2 pc rotors we will be able to offer. [/QUOTE]
