Thanks! I actually just put the black wheels back on now that fall is here. Over the summer I had continental dws 06 put on them. So far I really like them, they are way better than the stock perelIi in temps below 70 deg. I also added some black lug nuts that I bought last year but never put on. I actually think the black lug nuts really change the over all look of the car. The black wheels are growing on me but I already miss the foundry's.

Well it's been a year since I did my last mod so I was do. I went up to ford nationals last weekend and got the power pack 2. I'm currently waiting to flash the new revised tune to get rid of the Rev hang. Other than the Rev hang and a little notchy feeling when cold the tune performs really well. Last night I went down to cecil county drag way and ran a 12.08 @ 115 mph.

Here's a quick shot I took the night before the track after I put the drag wheels on. Gotta love the feeling of hooking up on a pair of slicks!

I flashed the new pp2 today and it is perfect, they should make the 2018's come with it! My car literally feels like it's pissed off in a good way, it's my best mod to date!:cheers:

I thought I'd do a little update as far as reliability and quality. So far in 2+ years and almost 16k miles the only 2 major issues I had was paint chipping off the driver side mirror cap and just recently my passenger side rear wheel bearing. The newness definitely is wearing off so now it's time to start doing some more mods. In a couple of weeks I'm getting some bmr/steeda/ford racing goodies installed. I'll do a update with some pics and reviews.

Just a quick update since I picked the car up today from Evolution Performance in Aston PA. I dropped her off last week to get BMR SP080 springs, FRPP axles and a combo of parts to get the hole IRS completely rebuilt to get rid of that nasty wheel hop.

First off I'd like to say the team at Evolution seems to be top notch!

Now for my thoughts after a day of beating on the car pretty hard.

The wheel hop even on my foundry 20" crappy stock pzero tires is completely gone on most road conditions, and trust me after spending all this money I was looking to find the worst case scenario. Never once was it bad enough that I felt I had to let out of it. I would say the only 2 roads I found that I could make it wheel hop a decent amount are roads not found anywhere other than in PA.

The handling with the new springs is truly amazing. Yes, I'm gonna say it "it handles like it's on rails".

One big pleasant surprise is how the car brakes, there is zero nose dive!

The only negative thing I can say is there is some added NVH but nothing more than I was expecting.

Next, I cant wait to take it to the strip and see how it launches.

I'm planning on getting to the track next friday, I'm waiting on this humidity and heat to leave. It's hotter now than when I was down in june.:frusty:

I finally got to install my GT 350 tack pack spoiler today! I had some issues getting a spoiler delivered undamaged and I even ran into the template not being to scale but in the end it was worth all the trouble. The install went pretty good, but just like the rest of the lines on my 2015 it's not perfect.:lol::lol::lol:

Nice! Looks really good!

I went down to the track tonight and the new suspension setup definitely hooks hard! I ran a 11.86 on my 3rd run!:clap2:Now that I hit 11's with my PP2 I guess I'll start thinking about what the next step on my build will be. I think I might be able to knock off a tenth or 2 yet, but I think that's about as good as it gonna get. I did run with a half tank of gas but other than that it was pretty much perfect conditions.

I quickly read through your post. Don’t think I saw it, is you car auto or manual?

It's pp car so it's a manual but I'll add it to the info above, thanks for asking.

Just 2 different views of the new spoiler out in the wild!
