I bought a 2015 mustang gt pp with 11k miles, it had a couple mods that I knew about-
Spec clutch, shorts throw shifter, Ford performance lowering springs, borla cat back, gt350 wheel
Paid 25500$

car looked good in person everything felt great. I got underneath the car I saw it had full tilt boogie brake ducts, trans cooler scoop. so I was starting to think it was a track car windshield was covered in pits.

Anyway turns out I was right

car now has 13,500 miles exedy Mach 500 stg 3 clutch and is on trans number 3

How did you find out it was a prior track car?

His name was on the n gauge searched on YouTube
Holy crap. That would bother me.

I rather know than not I guess. We always assume Stang’s are beat on but buying someone else’s track car is a little different.

I came in expecting to read a dude traded his Mustang in on VW Bug.... But man that is unfortunate OP I would be heartsick if it had happened to me. I assume there is no recourse you can take from the place you bought the car?

Never go digging for things you dont want to find. Especially after you've already purchased it. Get out there and enjoy the car
