I am thinking of selling my baby in effort to pursue a factory five gtm build... only reason! I purchased this car 100% BONE stock, not a single thing done to it, I have been the only one to transform it and know the car IN and OUT! I have customized it to my liking in attempt to be a jack of all trades! It is a phenomenal street cars, works awesome at the track with a ton of adjustability, and even gets down the 1/4 mile pretty good with a few suspension tweaks! It is a real head turner, looks and sounds amazing, and has a ton of cool mods to set it apart from the rest :smash: So now I'll get down to the details!

Few blemishes include some scrapes on rocker panels, and a small crack/chip on edge of drivers door, car rolled back on me a little with the door open and nicked a bowling ball up on a shelf.

Car has fattdaddy rollers and rocker panel skid plates both from Chip @ CCA to protect it with the low stance!

Car has lost communication with the RFA module. Been trying to track down that gremlin but simply haven't had much time to further investigate. All this means is you do not have a tire pressure reading or use of the key fob.

Car throws a ride control code since the F45 was deleted, a simple tweak with a tech-2 will get rid of that no problem.

That is about the jist of it, car is amazing, drives great, smooth, handles like a go-kart, pulls hard, has amazing adjustability for whatever you like to do, comes with TONs of extras so you can enjoy EVERYTHING this car has to offer! :thumbs:

I purchased the car with 34k miles on from our local veterinarian who still had the stock run flats on the car (goes to show how much be babied it!) I have owned it for 2 years coming this October and have put plenty of blood, sweat, and tears into it and know the entire car inside and out!

Car was tuned by Dr. Phil and on Stenod's Mustang Dyno put down 407 rwhp / 367 rwtq.

Car ran a best of 12.16 @ 117 on a 1.85 60'

Car has been to 4 HPDE's and performed GREAT at each and every one, really set up well for the road course with great adjustability with the coil overs, sways, etc.
