Nice looking car, I'm surprised its not making more power then 460 at a Stage IV. Does the tiptronic have anything to do with it?

 

No airbag looks nice but is that REALLY SUPER SMART ???

 

Mustang Dyno reads low. Apparently this car ran on EVO's Mustang and made 480...

 

I heard from some tuners tiptronic transmission actually showed to be quicker than manual transmission on a lot of kits, the problem with the tip is you cannot go over 640 HP kits like you can with manual without some major internal upgrades. It is my understanding from research.

 

How did he work out the paddle shifter? Do you think it could be made to work with the new PDK transmission?

 

Why ditch the airbag?

 

I think this is one of those... 'MADE YOU LOOK!" moments... no??? It is a good looking car though, but I'll pass on that wheel/shifter set up.

 

u can if u fix torque convertor . check EVOms Site

 

beat me too that question. it is ok if there is a race seat with harness opening and a harness, otherwise upgrade would not be worth the decrease in safety?

otherwise cool mod

 

Car had GT3 seats in it and tracked a couple of times... to run those upgraded PADDLES instead of the basic Tip, you cannot use the stock steering wheel.

 

FVD makes a steering wheel with the paddles for the tip... I was thinking about getting one for my car

 

Yeah, I would go the FVD route for sure and keep the airbag.

 

That's a work of art. Excellent car with outstanding mods.

 

Not a fan of the steering wheel, but the paddles are a must for a tip TT - Surpirsed Porsche didn't do it from the start, the buttons were garbage
