New here... possibly looking to buy
So long story short I just came from a 700+ horse 2014 mustang GT.
I still have the car but I just took the blower off and sold it because I'm ready to try something new.
I heard these cars are a good platform, but details weren't given.
What year and model should I pick up to make a beast out of? I know I'm going to get flamed for asking and not searching, but how much power do the stock internals hold both motor and trans? It will mainly be a roll race/drag racing car if I pick one up.
Are they expensive to mod? Comfortable to drive?
Just looking for the inside scoop from knowledgeable people on here that know the platform. Wanting to know exactly what breaks first at what power etc etc etc.
Thanks for any information, it looks like a car I wouldnt mind doing a build on.

A dedicated "Race car" and "comfortable to drive" are mutually exclusive.

Welcome to the forum. The Audi TT is the best drive for the money you'll ever drive. I also gave up a Mustang too. Best selling car in the world no doubt,but........... It's mostly show. The audi TT (convertible) is a car that'll have you waiting in anticipation for your next drive.
There cheap, and easy to maintain. Get one that has some nice exhaust, tires, chipped, tuned correctly and is clean. Under 10K
The only negative I have found is that the car needs to be "spooled" up to get that instantaneous response that makes driving fun. This car has to be revved up to work right. Its not "step on the gas a fly". Enjoy

Agree. My son (it's his ride) said just the other day, something like "if I don't drive it for a while, I realize how much fun it is to drive". He just graduated college and is chilling until he moves to his new home up in the great Northwest, so doesn't drive it everyday. I enjoy driving it too even though my S5 is much more powerful...

I will leave the best answers to the family Bally, but I think if you start with the 225 hp 1.8t, you will be better off. I would look for one that has full records over any particular year. I got my son's a year ago for 10K. Finally, as you can tell from my profile, I prefer manuals...
