I’ve waited awhile to post my car up here, but now I’ve got most of the mods done to the car how I like. So I wanted share with you all!
My goal was to make it into a proper GT car and to be equal to the PP model (or preferably better) and I think I’ve done that and then some.
I took a long time sorting the suspension (and went through a few setups to find the right one) and a long time figuring out what wheels/tires I wanted. In retrospect I would’ve bought wheels and tires and exhaust first and then deal with suspension later. That would have made a much larger difference right off the bat. But for some reason I decided if I didn't do suspension right away I would never follow through.
Here’s my 2015 base model Mustang GT, Automatic, Deep Impact Blue

It started out as a few mods to make it better than stock, and it eventually grew into a car that is very far from stock in feel and performance. The handling and the engine performance is far superior to the stock and it’s a very responsive car to drive now. The suspension modifications in particular provide a much greater feel and response that is almost race car ish now. It’s very much modified to the point where: to your average joe it may not be his/her cup of tea. But I really like the feel of a sporty car and I definitely feel everything driving this car.
I was having some fun with a very nice, modified Audi S4 the other day, and he was trying to push it in the corners. I caught him quickly going around the bend and then was like, “Is that all you got?” Lol
Here’s a pic of my car with the new wheels/tires and I’ll add more pics very soon and update as I add more!
