2015 Mustang EB

Bone Stock+DR - 13.6@98
Intake+93 Tune+DR - 12.9@103



Oh I should add this quote: "Of course, that tune might not be quite as longevity-minded as Ford's stock parameters: Bama cranked up the boost to 22 PSI, boosted the automatic transmission's shift pressure by a whole bunch, and jimmied the throttle settings to give more boost everywhere on the tach. " Which means this engine is going to go if done too much.

So, this is just to show how well the car responds to the mods. This can't be done for every pass obviously, but still very impressive!

Of course not. We all know the TLX is essentially a dolled up Accord...so, naturally, they will go about the same speed more or less.

See? The racist in me suspect it's a dumb@$$ who pulled this stunt off in Vancouver. I'm perfectly fine the VPD shamed the owner of the Huracan on Twitter: Vancouver PD Trolls Speeders, Shames Lambo Owner On Twitter: A Step Too Far?

It's fun to go into the auto news threads to rustle some jimmies though. Especially the TLX/ILX threads.

After watching the Chris Harris review videos of Ferrari 458 Speciale and LaFerrari, all the other Ferrari models do nothing for me.

Don't get your panties in a bunch.. it's a fucking twin turbo 3.6.. that only means it'll get faster.
Pointing out your optimistic times compared to what Cadillac claims means my panties are in a bunch. Alrighty, then.

I can't tell you how much it's been on my mind lately. I should have kept it.

I had a dream I won two brand new Supra Turbos the other day. It felt so real. Then I woke up and was like, DAMN........

Still doesnt make it any harder Also depending on if you get a AP1 or AP2 the mustang may be easier to handle at the limit and not send you into a tank slapper backwards into a wall

Looking to get an AP2. 2006+ is the preferred car but I'll get a 2004-2005 if the price and car are right. Don't want an AP1 for the aforementioned tank slapper backwards into a wall and I like the 2.2L motor better.
