Hey Guys,
Just purchased a 2025 Platinum 3.0 "Ya I know it's not a ST" I have been driving a 2016 and thought it was time for a upgrade. My 2016 was just their plane V6, this twin turbo is quite a bit more fun to drive. I have been a Ford fan for years, had a 1969 Mach 1 with a 428 CJ and a 1972 Ford Gran Torino with a numbers matching 429. The Mustang was fast in stock condition, the Torino not so much being a smog motor, I found a 1969 429 SCJ down in Kentucky so my buddy and I took a trip down to pick that up and took it to Total Performance in Mt. Clemens Michigan, and had them do a stroker, made it a 514cuin roller, ported heads big valves, aluminum instake topped off with a 1050 dominator, NOS pro fogger direct port, modded the C6 trans with SVO parts and converter3, 3" exhaust with 4 flowmasters. Blah blah, It went from so so to lots of fun in a hurry. At this point I don't plan on doing any major mods to this car, although one never knows.
