Sure - if you want to spend over 20 grand more for the same performance. The Red Sport is a heavy car, and a piggy back on a factory detuned 3.3TT is pretty substantial. I have no delusions though the ride quality is likely better and the features on the Red Sport.

So you figure retail would be going from 29-32k for it. Cheaper than 37-50 for the GT's and still get practical everyday power and use avg. about 23-26mpg. I might had thought about trading up for it if it wasn't for the Kia Stinger. You also have to figure it's a tuners dream car. You can...

My Kia stinger made about 320 to the wheel with a 3.3TT. Bigger engine, more pistons, bigger displacement and only gets 320 compared to a 4 banger making 290 getting 26 MPG. That's impressive. Though with my current mods, I have it about 400 whp.

Pretty insane a 4 banger is making that much power stock. V6 TT's are making 340-400 stock. Though one thing confuses me - it has an RS engine. Every dealer and a lot of us were already under the impression the eco already shared the same engine but with a different head gasket? So the RS has a...

Ford Performance's tune does a tremendous job on throttle and smooth shifting. I could not imagine driving that car without that tune.

Good guess! Or the Genesis variant. I am planning to get it benched tuned to 393 whp and 455 ft-lb by pressertech in two weeks. And that is considered a mild tune from 326 whp. The aftermarket is basically non-existent compared to the huge following Ford Mustang has. No flash software - you...

After just trading in my Eco - I kind of wish I started out with this. The price range is going to make all the difference though. I am anticipating this car to be at least 32-33k range. 10 speed auto, Performance tune, better cylinders, reinforced block, and a bigger turbo. The pro-tuners are...

The tune adjusts the power by throttle position. So normal mode feels more responsive and sport mode feels aggressive.

Had a Ford Performance tune with intercooler with over 60k miles before trading it in.

Wish I had 20-25k to light on fire. That's basically what this is.

This is the first FP tune blow I heard of. Likely not the last I am afraid.

With a stiffer chassis and possible form hybrid of AWD, it is very possible. On a personal note, perfect timing too since I will have my current stang fully paid off by then. Now I am rethinking trading it in for a GT.

Seems too quick! The Nimso next to it should had been running mid-13's stock. Should be very interesting to see what Ford Performance, Cobb, and others have planned for it. A sub 13' eco would be very enticing.

Also that air heats up quicker with a smaller turbo.

305 whp is still 45 more whp than stock that usually gets around 260 to the wheel. 45 is a lot for 93 oct. FP is about 25 whp at peek. Cobb stage 1 runs about 280 to the wheel and even the FP looks to have it beat under the curve and in particular after 5400 RPM.

Lucky he did not get shot if the cop thought his life was in jeopardy .

It could be several problems. If they diagnose it as a open air box, it likely means they didn't even bother to check ignition issues, air obstructions, vacuum leaks, or ECU data. Common sense: take it to another garage.

I believe Ford Performance says Fall time frame, but their credibility with sticking to a time frame is shot.

40k with ford perf tune, Airaid tube, drop in filter, and cp-e Delta Intercooler. Next will be a down pipe with a Lund tune. I don't plan on running aux fuel. Hope to get it down in the low 13s.

The car can only adjust so much. Even if it did, you don't want the car constantly adjusting for abnormal air flow. What's the is the point of adding a downpipe if your car is compensating and not adding power anyhow? You will also throw a check engine light for having too much o2 in your exhaust.
