Not for long.

On June 30, the US Supreme Court granted the appeal in Viramontes v. Cook County. It is widely predicted that they are going to strike that ban down. They combined it with a similar case out of Connecticut and will be hearing them both together.

If you are interested in reading more about it, here are some links:

and the best link of all:

Looks like we lost from what I read the other day, Illinois law upheld. God I hate this state.
Our only hope is that Fat ass 2- face billionaire governor is voted out .

That was a different case. Seventh Circuit. Yes, a loss. Once the Supreme Court rules, however, that will be old, invalid case law.

Dash cam? Oil catch can? Your car is really nicely set up. You are likely to spend it on something other than the car.

Can't help you with that. I leave my GT stock. It's fast enough for me.

I would invest in reducing exhaust loudness. The drone is noticing with the top up. That would make it a little more GT and a lot less hotrod. I would like to see Ford make a true GT model along with a hotrod model and DH models.

Turn off the cabin noise ESE in FORScan, that stops the speakers pumping fake engine sound into the cabin.

That’s what quiet mode (not normal mode) is for.

So I got s little gift from the wife's family, ~ $1500 to blow.
I have a pretty fully modded Dark Horse and i can't think of anything else I can do other than a Whipple which is like $13k-$14k installed. That's just a lot too much for me to dump into an already fast car.
I'm already tuned and I have winter and summer tire/wheel setups, don't really care to lower the car so what else is their to do??
I've got h-pipe, ppf, tints, radar.
Help! lol
Do you have a subwoofer system?

I would suggest stop the hop goodies along with cradle lock outs and a chassis brace brand of choice. I have had both the steedas and BMR. Both are easy install. I have the gt premium with performance pack and magnaride, I will tell you, as good as the magnaride is, this set up takes the "float" these the cars have and gets ride of it. The handling is so much better too. You would be surprised how much these few things make the car handle even better for spirited street driving and you do not lose rige quality at all.

I has the stop the hop kit on my 15gt, massive upgrade!
Did the subframe supports only on my Mach 1 , noticed big improvement in rear end stability.
On my Dark horse I don’t feel any float and it sticks so well, very composed. I’m not really sure it would improve a chassis that’s pretty damn refined at this point
