*UNLIMITED BUDGET* ‘19 GT BUILD

[TrumpStang]

I just bought a ‘19 GT PP1. I have done a few visual mods (see vid link below) but nothing to the drivetrain or suspension. If you had unlimited budget and the goal is to have major power, traction, and fun, what would you do? Emphasis on traction. I want to put down 700hp or more and want 0-60 and backroad traction to be insane. Want to do a wild exterior mod as well. Give me your input and I’ll post progress pics and vids as we go. Let’s build a monster!

Big twin turbo kit on a built Aluminator engine, everything in the Steeda suspension catalog, and the nicest and lightest set of wheels from @Paul@PKAUTODESIGN with some tires to match along with a set of drag wheels and tires.

700 should be pretty easy with any option of boost though (Roush, Whipple, Procharger, VMP, etc).

I can tell you our 18 gt with a bolt on whipple kit put down 700hp to the ground we just put our pro series engine in it now and we are going to dyno and shoot for 800hp. So 700 should be no problem for you. If you are not installing we have great specials on whipple kits and dyno tunes. My name is Jake message me or call me at 313-561-5500 if you have any questions. Thanks

Built motor, Big twin turbo kit, Viking adjustable shocks, drag springs, Steeda support suspension pieces. And the best sticky tires made.

For me:
Tiger Racing Carbon Fiber hood( to improve air flow and lose weight)
Cortex Racing front splitter
Forgeline GA3R rims - 2 sets
Pilot Cup Tires - 2 sets
All BMR Suspension
Cortex Racing JRI coilovers
ARH headers, borla atak exhaust, tune
GT350 track pack spoiler
Watson Racing harness bar
GT350 brakes front/rear

Approx~ $25K in modifications. I am currently doing these modifications on my own car for HPDEs. Adding a supercharger would just make the car heavier and perhaps even risk having the car over heat, which is why I am not doing that.

Unlimited budget?

Trade it in for GT500

I have thought about that... can I make a unique monster for 20-30k that would be just as fun?

Hey, that's not an unlimited budget....

 

[Ronnoc]

if your budget is truly unlimited and performance is your goal, you're best off starting with the best platform out of the factory. In that case I would take a gt350/gt500 and build that. But if you want to be unique and build a GT more power to you. Start with suspension and supporting mods like others above mentioned then add power. Just note that you'll dump 20k into your car, lose your warranty, and lose out on the depreciation of all the aftermarket parts and have something relatively equivalent to a new gt500 in performance (unless you really focus singularly on one performance metric like drag racing).

I’m willing to spend whatever but it would be foolish to spend more than the cost of a GT500 unless the car is better.

Hypothetical: You spend 40K on Mustang GT then add ~20k to bring the performance in line with a new GT500 that Costs 70k. You'll be left with a Mustang GT that in 2 years will be worth 35k tops. Meanwhile that shelby will certainly hold its value far more, even if you spent more to get into the GT500.

The S550 can be made plenty potent for way less than 20k in mods.

If I had an unlimited budget...I would hand FatFab a blank check and a 2019 GT350R.
