** SOLD **
Hey guys, it has been quite awhile since I've posted. We are +1 child and have since moved to the poconos. The car seat fits in the back no problem but the 5 month winter, at least this winter, has kicked out butts. We have an SUV and while in lower PA I easily got away with a dedicated set of snows for the 1 month they were necessary but up here is no joke. My family isn't in a situation where we can have a play car just sitting around, this has been my daily driver and without one in the winter puts us in a bad place. I considered getting a beater 4x4 but I commute to Philadelphia most of the week (hence the miles on the car) so I don't think I can get away with that. That said, we've decided to sell her. Below is the "official" listing I just finished. This community has been a wealth of information and support and for that, I thank you guys. I've got over 50k into the car and I'm going to ask 35k. I would be willing to shave a bit off for someone here in the forums though BUT NOT MUCH! KBB & Black Book values the stock car between 26k to 28k. I'd also be open to a trade (+cash if appropriate) for the following: 2010+ Audio S4 Quattro, 2010+ BMW 335i X-Drive, 2012+ Subaru WRX.
Ok so onto my (draft) listing. Photos and a drive-by demo video I shot today are below:
We recently moved to the Jim Thorpe Pocono area and this winter was our first full winter here. While we absolutely love the area, after this season the realization that a near 650hp RWD car in an area that has snow on the ground 5 months of the year just doesn’t make sense for us. I can’t move the family so I’ve got to let go of my most beloved toy.
This twin-turbo mustang started out as a track-pack, brembo brake, and recaro seat equipped manual GT that I had to drive from West Chester, PA down to VA to pick up. This was due to the fact that the above factory options are hard to come by without special ordering a car or finding one with a ton of stuff included that I didn’t want. One of my bucket list items has been to break 200mph in a standing mile event. I decided that the newer generation GT was a fantastic platform to start from. About 12k miles in is when we started the modifications. This car is my daily driver (when in season) so reliability and drivability are key for me and my family. I spared no expense nor time researching and consulting with professionals in the tuning and aftermarket parts industry as I moved forward. The star of the show would be the Armageddon Twin-Turbo Kit which is comprised of only best of breed parts. I drove to NC to have the turbo kit and supporting additions installed and tuned by two of the most respected mustang oriented mechanics on the east coast. A BOSS 302 triple gauge pod was installed in the center dash and filled with 3 Aeroforce Interceptor gauges capable of displaying dozens of data points.

I then moved to the car’s aesthetics. The wheels are 19x9.5 all aluminum SSR GTV-01s. They took 3 months to get in from Japan and weigh in at a mere 24lbs. I then wrapped the car in Roush splitters and lowered it a tasteful 1” via Eibach sportline springs and paired Eibach shocks & struts. The grille was treated to a CDC upper insert in addition to a Roush lower grille delete. This cleared up a significant amount of airflow for the fluidyne intercooler all while adding a very aggressive look. Additional suspension components were added such as the Ground Control camber plates and Metco lower control arms to firm things up while offering significant control over camber and toe. The 275/40/r19 Falken Azenis PT-722 high-performance all season tires are so new their temporary colored dots haven’t worn off yet, which can be seen in the photos. I have well under 200 miles on them as I write this.
For audio I went with a 12’ Alpine Type-R paired with an Alpine amp in a zen-closure custom sealed trunk box that tucks neatly in the trunk’s side. The stock rear and door panel speakers were replaced with Kicker DSC series speakers. These were all wired into the stock head-unit giving the overall audio quality a significant boost.
I’ve been meticulous about its care. I double-bucket wash it and the only products that touch it are chemical brother’s black light and hybrid V7. I’m not big into protectants slathered all over the dashboard, and interior in general, so to add to the interior’s protection while also enhancing the look, I had it tinted by Shades of Gray in Philadelphia. The front windshield has the same % tint that Mercedes outfits some of their models with. Everything inside is shielded from the sun’s rays and heat. I opted for WeatherTech digitally fit floor mats.
Mechanically the car runs like a champ. It idles and drives like a normal GT until you hit 3k RPMs, then a black hole opens up in front of you that bends space and time and the car goes into “Kill Bill” mode as I like to call it… It’s brutally fast. The sound of the twin Garrett GT3076R turbos singing is intoxicating.
I’ve changed the oil every 3k using Driven’s FR-50 full-synthetic oil. Mobile-1 is fantastic too but I’ve been very pleased with FR-50. I’ve stuck with K&N oil filters on it and just changed the oil 144 miles ago (Trip A is my oil distance in the dash shot).
Issues: I ran into my table saw’s stand when pulling it into the garage one day while we were laying hardwood floors. This left a small indentation in the front bumper approximately 2 inches by maybe an 1/8th of an inch. No paint is missing, it’s almost like a subtle plastic fold mark. It can be seen in the photos. Other than that the only other issue is the triple gauges fight for ODB2 bus time so when starting the car you have to turn the ignition then wait 2 (literally) seconds before starting it. It becomes habit very quickly. If you forget, only 2 of the 3 gauges will display their corresponding data points.
As I mentioned above, I’ve got over $50,000 into this 2014 car so my price is pretty firm. If your looking for a turn-key solution to straight and twisty road domination, you’d be getting one heck of a deal with this one. There isn’t much under 100k that can touch this car. New Stringray? Yum yum yum. New Dodge Hellcat? Gobble gobble gobble. New Porsche 911? Burp.
