I agree things can be pricey however I asked because I’m looking for recommendations on how to upgrade this vehicle…I’m not hurting for money in fact I’m well off nor am I looking to sell this vehicle… this is just a vehicle for fun… I also agree it is a bragging right but overall I’m looking to have fun with this vehicle. Hellcats are cool and I definitely could’ve gotten one however that’s not what I wanted. It would feel better to build something
Then your choice for power is Whipple, or Ford Performance

Drop the money, get it over with

Then you can do suspension and brakes if you feel you need them

I have a GT premium, when I bought the car, I paid cash for it and set aside another 15 grand for a Whipple install and other goodies

My car is still bone effn stock 19 months and 4800 miles later.

There is a reason for that.

Honestly, you are wasting your money in two ways. First 700 hp is just a bragging right. In most cases the investment will not put a $10K smile on your face only a hole in your wallet. Secondly, after you put this enhancement on the car you have killed your resale value. I wouldn't buy the car since I know it has been hammered! Will the car be reliable in the end? Do you have the cash flow to fix what you break? Is the car financed? If so, you are digging a very deep hole.
You should have bought a used HELLCAT if you wanted 700 HP.
Don't let dreams and emotions deny you from having a great car that with over 480 hp as stock will give you all the fun you need.
I disagree if you have the money, enjoy mashing the throttle and want more of a rush than stock go for it!

I had a Hellcat and Demon and loved them. But they don’t come in a convertible. So my Whipple is on order.

I had a 1020hp daily Tesla Plaid and I never got tired of the acceleration rush!

It was quite the rush you coulddrive comfortably to the race track in a four-door family sedan. Rip off a couple 9.2 second quarter miles and drive home in comfort again
.
I’m not a greeny, but I do love the instant acceleration of electric vehicles.

486 hp already feels quite a blast on the road, whenever it wheelspin I feel grateful to be alive on the way home.
I bet 700 hp is fun, but feels like running on a cliff, one wrong slip and its over.

Have you ever driven an EV?

Nothing short of a NASA rocket accelerates like an EV

The Tesla Plaid can smoke the tires at 80 MPH

One of the reasons tracks are banning EV's, they show up bone stock and spank the cars that have tens of thousands of dollars just in the head work, another reason is a S Plaid can run sub 10 seconds and many sanctioning bodies require full cages and other things if you are going to run that fast.

And the S Plaid isn't even the king of the hill, the Lucid Saphire goes faster

2024 Mustang RTR Spec 2
Hello everyone!! I’m new to the group and have to figure out how to navigate through this so I apologize in advance if I’ve asked a question that’s been asked a thousand times. I currently have a 2025 Mustang GT 10sp(non active)and looking to upgrade/mod. If anyone could help out in recommendations and websites to obtain spoilers,brakes, lowering springs, and anything that will produce more hp. The only upgrade I’ve done so far was a corsa exhaust system. It’s not my every day driver however from time to time I do travel 9 hours to other states. Any knowledge helps thanks!!
Supercharge it and put some RTR parts on it. You can basically build a stage 3 RTR for half the price they charge.
