Opinions on next upgrade.

Tarmac 2 coilovers
Rota Torque 18/9.5
Bridgestone RE-11 tires 255-35-18 square
Vortech Supercharger 3.125 Pulley 11psi
Kartboy short shifter
Racseng Camber Plates
Aftermarket rear control arms
-3 camber front
-2 camber rear
Fully corner balanced
shifter bushing
APR front splitter
Slammer shift knob
Borla UEL header
Perrin headerback exhaust system
Competition Stage 3 clutch
getting opticoated next week (this paint sucks)
Revworks catch can

made 294 whp and 220 wtq (mustang dyno corrected numbers)

At this point I'm not really sure where to go with the car. My next upgrade that I would like to do is upgrade the brakes and get a vented hood oh...... and a turbo kit. I want the community's opinion on what upgrade they would do next. I have had a few professional drivers take my car out on the track so I could get some feedback. After a few suspension adjustments many have agreed that the car is very track capable and doesn't need anything else besides brakes and dedicated track tires.

Purchase wise maybe some brakes given you've mentioned that interest and involvement. Otherwise you've done a lot I'd use coin on track time and training then decide after driver mods done if you really want to explore more after New Years?

With that level of power, I'd say BBK next if you'll be at the track regularly.

I am writing to you to express my opinions for your car. I've kept these opinions back because I was afraid. Afraid, that we couldn't really take you seriously on this forum anymore. I don't want your car to have an uncomfortable ride but if you really do track it's fine. I've tried to get over my desire to laugh at you constantly, but at the end of the day all I can do is make a sarcastic post parodying your love letter. I can honestly say I've never found a thread so funny before. At the same time, I'm very concerned for you and your life choices. I need you to know that we care about your car mostly, and we're always there for it, you not so much. I want you to know that your threads put a smile on my face when nothing else works. Your illegal passion for 13 year olds is brilliant. I just want you to know, in my eyes, I sincerely hope you were trolling with your posts. I believe you know the story behind this post and I have struggled mildly to parody your letter again. I don't care about you but the general concensus seems to be 'get better brakes'.

Not bad for a parody. But this is a serious thread. And yes my other threads were mainly to troll just to see what others would say. The lover letter was serious. But for now on I am only making car related threads that are serious. If we could leave this behind I would appreciate. Thank You
