My 2014 GT with a SCT X4 Power Flash Programmer and an Airaid CAI has about 460 HP. Stock its the most HP for the money of any muscle car made.

Get one...

Well OP, I tried to think of a reason against it and I've got nothing. You know what to do.

Any feedback on the PP stage 2? Dealer install? Considering a 15-17 and then adding this.

from mustang6g.com dealers are charging various rates. Some people are just doing the installs themselves. Had a dealer do mine for $250ish since I still had some warranty left on the car.

The install worked but some of the hoses could have been better routed and the mechanic neglected to use a clip for a relocated wiring harness, no big deal

It's all but a done deal. Came back with a clean bill of health from the mechanic's inspection. Just waiting to sign paperwork and get it shipped to me.

Beautiful.

I almost bought a Mach1, but he didn't have the original wheels.

Thanks I love it, I bought it new. I'm tempted to buy another I found. $8000 and 69k miles and mint. It's automatic which I want for something to drive to work.

I also have a 2001 Bullitt I'm restoring.

Your newer one is pretty nice. I want one but I need a promotion first.

OP, when do you pick yours up?

I'll have it shipped as there's a whole lot of nothing in 20 hours of driving between Salt Lake City and Austin TX.

Should be here in ~2 weeks.

Glad to see you got this

Nice. Routine maintenance and it will last forever.

My '01 Bullitt was bought used in 2001 by my father with 7k miles. The engine lasted for 220k before it broke a piston and I rebuilt it. Transmission lasted for around 200k miles. Both have been rebuilt now and all it needs is carpet replacement, front seats recovered, and paint.

My Mach 1 I bought new in 2004 and it has 82k miles. All I've done is the routine oil changes and standard maintenance. Drives like the day I bought it.

I really like the new design and will probably buy one eventually. The power they put out make mine look slow lol

Well this should go over like a turd in a punch bowl.

She did take 3 of the 4 kids for a ride around the block. Note the "I'm kinda pissed off but trying to smile" look for the picture.

Previous owner replaced the stock p-zeros (which apparently wear very fast) with Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. They seem fine, but I've really driven them on nice dry roads so far.

Imjust looked those up. Summer Tires I see.

Posted: 6/11/2017 9:55:55 PM EDT

Yep, summer only. I'm a firm believer in dedicated winter tires; I'll buy another set of wheels when the time comes.

Posted: 6/11/2017 10:28:49 PM EDT

[#29]

My stock rear Perellis were toast at 5500 miles.

That was with MINIMAL winter driving. They were dog shit in anything under 65 degrees.

New tires are 286 fr and 305 rear Nitto NT555G2. They dont grip as well as the Perelli they replaced but they do make more noise at the limit which is in some way comforting.

Maybe when they are gone I will try some extreme contacts or pilot super sports.

Old wheels are rotating out to winter duty and I will put all seasons on them come october.
