I am running a ZLE with various tire setups but mostly running the factory supercar3rs but I did add a set of 18" slicks for 2026.

I guess I would put myself into the "Hardcore" category since my car sees more track action than it does the street these days... although the Buc-ee's livery might reduce that seriousness a level or two!
I have been using the DTC 60s on street and track shifting to the DTC 70s all around as my speeds are much faster and the forced air ducts blast the hubs with cool air and I cut the tops off the Blackwing ducts to push that heated air from the rotors out of the wheels better. While playing on the track against Billy Johnson in the GTD Mustang, it was the first time I ever thought I might run out of brakes and run into a car... the GTD has brakes that are nothing short of tossing a Ship's Anchor out of the trunk!!
I have been planning to upgrade to the DTC 80s up front with my revised cooling but G-Loc sent a set of pads to try out... so when I can get a break from being in the shop 24/7 I will test out the new pads and offer some feedback!
