Hello Gang,
I've had my 16 PP GT for nearly 2 years now...about to hit 30,000 miles and wanted to share my mod/build so far...as some of you know she's in the shop this week getting the VMP GEN 2 TVS 2.3 kit as well as the OPG and CG...i'm pretty pumped up. The car has been great. I've never had it in the shop for anything other than oil changes and tires. It's a much better experience than my last car...an 09 C6Z that had the engine blow up out of warranty...not a fun thing to deal with...anyways here is what I have done so far.
Traded my C6z with a new engine in on it in November 2015. I got a fully loaded 16 GT PP with red leather interior. Shadow black...got a smoking deal since it was winter time...I'd have to look back but i'm pretty sure the sticker was 45K and I paid 38 with all my discounts etc.
First mod was Lund tune via Ngauge and sport lowering springs. Not long after that I did the PMAS intake.
The car was fast enough after tune but needed sound...so I ordered the Gibson cat back...great sound for the money and it comes in black.
Then I decided the car needed stripes, so I got the ford 3m stripes kit. The dealer installed it via a local body shop and it comes with a 3 year warranty. I was really happy with this mod...totally transformed the car.
I liked the looks of it so much I bought a motorcycle to match...not just any motorcycle either...a badass 2300cc/140 cubic inch Triumph Rocket 3.
I did drive the car all winter when it wasn't too bad out..I'm not the garage queen type and I love driving the car.
Not long after that I ordered the lund flex fuel e85 tune...again, this was a great and easy way to get another 15/20hp for very little money...I LOVED running E85! Smelled good too...haha.
This spring I then decided that I was going to go forced induction...this forum helped tremendously with my decision...so many great builds and the reliability seemed great. I opted with the VMP kit as mentioned above...in anticipation of the kit I did some exterior modding and got the 305 nitto NT05R's installed...
and now this week shes under the knife getting the kit installed...i'm excited, as long as nothing breaks...lol. I also bought the PP gauge kit from an ecoboost. It's a direct plug and play for a PP GT and it works!
Last night I ordered the roush illuminated door sills from LMR as well as the Roush Shift knob and Roush floor mats...I'll add more pics once I install all those items...Overall I'm really enjoying this car and hope to have a great summer driving it with the new setup.
