Tackled Racecar's coolant leak this weekend! After some research, we concluded a coolant line running under the intake manifold was the issue. Check out the video to see us handle this repair.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connects. These are those new-new with a treadwear rating of 240, up from the 180TW of the previous version. Here are some pics of the tires through various stages of use. I will list the usage status for each pic below. The last few pics are how they look currently, after 6 hillclimb runs, 14 track sessions (15-30 mins each), and a handful of autocross like runs at NCMMSP #ttnats. I am overjoyed at how long these tires are lasting and expect to get 3-4 more quality track days out of them next year. I am curious to see how well the grip level is maintained throughout the life of the tire. So far, I haven't noticed much decrease, if any. 
Pic1: Brand new-freshly mounted.
Pic2: Brand new- before mounting.
Pic3: Brand new, front tire specs
Pic4: After 3 hillclimb runs- rough road surface
Pic5: After hillclimb, and all track events

Great thread! I had a 2013 Mustang GT. I regret that I never got to take it to a track and really see what it could do. Looks like a blast!
