Finished track day at Atlanta Motorsports Park (Update on Porterfield R4-S Pads)
I had a blast, its an excellent track and definitely technical. This was the first time tracking my ISF. I have some videos here:
In car (2nd session w/ instructor):
You can hear the car more with this camera. I just have the mufflers removed.
Outside of car (GoPro, last session of the day, chasing with a Porsche 911):
I have the Michelin PSS's which handled very well. They didn't get greasy or felt like I was going to lose control at all. I also have the Porterfield R4-S pads on the front, stock pads in the rear. I never had a hint of brake fade the entire time and I was not easy on the brakes at all. The brakes felt excellent, and the stopping power was always there. Granted, conditions were from 35 degrees in the morning to low 60's by the afternoon. I'd be curious how the brakes would do in 80-90 degree heat but for summer time I would probably pick up some track pads anyway. The only complaint I would have is this car does have a lot of body roll. Not sure if any of you guys recommend some stiffer sway bars to help counter act that?
If anyone is in Atlanta, I'd recommend checking this track out. You don't need a lot of power on this track, just a really good handling car.

It needs stiffer springs before it needs more swaybar. A LOT stiffer.

I still have a lot of homework to do before I pick spring rates. I just know the front is way too soft for CMP, and I'd imagine the same is true for AMP.

Awesome footage! I will be at Summitpoint beginning of November with my F. Watching your video got me pumped. I am also stock with the exception of my joe-z exhaust. I am anxious to get the car out and drive it like it was built to be driven. However, I have no doubt the cars capabilities far exceed my driving ability, lol! But it should still make for a fun day.

Thanks for the comments guys! Definitely get your ISF on the track. It was an excellent experience and definitely a great way to see what the car can do. I can't stay I've tapped the full potential out of this car yet!
