I like the color choice. Will you be adding some tuner decals? (AEM, HKS, ect) At least get a "type-r" emblem

Any plans for autox or a HPDE? I'd be interested in your opinions. The combination of brembos, gt suspension bits and a (lighter?) powerful V6, makes for the first time i've been excited about a mustang in a long time.

Kudos on the research and for not buying a BMW

I was thinking about a big Type-R and Samurai side panel vinyl.

Oh, for sure AX. Just to see how hard I can push the car. HPDE to test some brake pads.

I get the GT brakes, but not the Brembo package. I am OK with that. Yes, lighter than GT.

Haha, thanks. I did enjoy test driving the slew of cars.

It did when I first bought the car. I was very impressed with the car so it mustve been a good tune. But I put a set of s1 cams, 680 injectors and a few other mods on it so I had the ecu reflashed for the summer. I am putting an fp hta green and ets front mount on it and going to tune it again. Do you do email tuning?

Nah. I am not up to date with all the new ECU unlocks at this point anyway.

You have a bunch of good shops in MI though.

There isn't really any that I know of close to me though. I was planning on doing an email tune with either mellontuning or maybe ams.

Anyone else wants to guess about the '11 V6? I think a tune would be the first order of business, remove that damn speed limiter.

Already re-tuned

I've spoken to a few on this. Remember, this is also the rental fleet car. Limiter can be for the rental people. So they are not out doing 140.

Hey Mike, next time I need to rent a car, I might be asking you to send me your tuner.

Make sure you get a SPA3 ECU.

Looks like a short ram intake would be an easy install, or a CAI. I'd do a nice SRI with a shield, K&N FIPK though?

K&N is not out, or at least according to their site.
