I can't imagine they wouldn't have, either, but then somebody gets to decide whether retaining that much capability is warranted for the purely street-driven examples of that car.
#1 - pad compound. Street cars don't get race pads for reasons involving poor bite when cold, and significantly dustier, noisier, and harsher on rotor faces. Hawk's HP+ is really a sort-of-streetable entry-level track pad that may still not be enough for you; Hawk's better stuff starts with HT or DTC designations. In Carbotech, XP10 or higher.
#2 - additional cooling. I don't see any ducting. You need this.
#3 - I suspect that some here may be unaware of your two wheel track experience.
Off-topic and out of curiosity, did you happen to notice a blue Mustang (2013?) running the number 710 in painter's tape? A guy from one of the Mustang forms I belong to was making his "big track" debut, after about 20 years autocrossing (IOW, he's not a 20-something).
