Thanks guys. Will post more pics tonight. More time in each car today. The Camaro is a BEAST and is probably the most capable on track in terms of running it hard all day and putting it away wet. But, the Mustang is the most nimble and the most fun to drive slow or fast, IMO. > [@91 spirit wiring diagram](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/91-spirit-wiring-diagram/32726/10): > > Nice writeup man! Did the GT come with the optional Brembos? They are supose to be amazing, and not fade nearly as much as the base brakes. No optional Brembos on the Mustang. The base brakes are capable, but not as good as the Camaro’s Brembo setup. Fade is part of it but that’s more related to pad compound choice. As they build up heat, sliding calipers like the Mustang’s squirm around on the rotor and make it hard to control how much brake pressure you’re giving it at the limit. Nearly all stock brakes are like this, nothing new, but the fixed calipers on the Camaro are slick. > [@07/71/07: My house.

Thanks for the review on the rides. When we gonna see you in a new GT? Not getting rich doing it, but it pays. Work is slow lately so I was able to get away for 2 days during the week. It’s a lot harder than I expected when you have to do things in time, coordinate with the camera truck, time things so far out in advance, etc. Not complaining, still having a blast. 😃 The kind of stuff I’m doing isnt stunt driving or anything super complicated, so lots of people out there can do it (and therefore doesnt pay ridiculously $). To be honest, if you give anyone a closed airport and a bunch of cars, they’ll figure it out sooner or later. No new GT for this shoot. This 2010 would be a hoot with that much power, so I’m sure it’s only better. > [@97 eclipse parts for sale](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/97-eclipse-parts-for-sale/31964/10): > > IS this that new 305hp V6 mustang or is it a V8? 2010 GT V8 which is a 4.6 (?

It’s not a magazine comparo, just an ad for a giveaway. I’m sure the car choice was financially based. All the cars were in the 30s I think (no window sticker for the Camaro though so dont know for sure). I was told that the manufacturers were very picky about the cars and options. **This is my first attempt at an Archie-style "what I did today" post:** Day 2 is over. Ran one car out of gas and managed to baby the Charger for the rest of the day without breaking it any further. The word I was looking for to describe the Camaro is planted. Everywhere. It’s a big heavy tank but lots o grip and stability. Just not as much fun as it could be. Crappy cell pics as promised. No one wants to see pics of the cars so I took pics of just about everything else when I was stuck in the car waiting for filming to resume. :retardclap Up @ 5am, at the airport by 6:20. Meticulous detailer crew is already there and obsessing. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/e53392f2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/7/c724a0ec99aa05ee594aab83c8bf89ac6dca129e.jpeg) Making movies ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/cf628327.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/7/c7cdb284a3b11907105ea56ee889cd355660b644.jpeg) View from the Charger at 9:44 am where I sat for 25+ minutes while they set something up. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/f19274a2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/6/2624d3c3f0eaaad966ad25a747abb378cd635721.jpeg) Chase truck with shockingly expensive gear on it ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/09e41136.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/d/ade288b3afc33630062838feb6f248f383bcd9c8.jpeg) What I saw all day.
