dbrisson Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Traded my 10 in for a 12 with SVTPP, stripes, Recaro Nav and cover, as per the prior threads. Pulled my pulley, tune, filter, res delete off to go onto the 12. First impressions, as I thought I really loved the burble and tones of the FR500 exhaust on decel, and accel, so something has to change there. I set the steering to sport, drove the 16 miles for the supercharger to turn on and cruised home (about an hour drive). I did not get on it hard but noted that the 10 with the smaller pulley exhaust and extra whine felt more visceral, but the 12 can get there with the pulley I am sure. It felt more planted and the shifts really were tight. I did not hit anywhere near what is needed to see if I have the "grind" issue. I do like the integrated home link, but will miss being able to tilt the base of the seats back ( unless I can but have not figured it out yet. ). 6th Gear with the taller gears feels more usable. I will miss the stripes on the shifter ball, I may need to get a MY10Ball. The dealer did not drill or attach the front plate, which is cool but I have to figure something out there. It will be fun getting used to this version. DB 12 SVTPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarbc Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Congrats on the new '12. "The dealer did not drill or attach the front plate, which is cool but I have to figure something out there" Highly recommend Craig's Custom Brackets. http://www.ccmustangbrackets.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpmurr Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Congrats on the new ride. Who did you end up buying from? Oh and pics please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDan Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Cool. I velcro'd my rear plate on and make sure you put some heat in those tires before you expect them to hook up 550hp in the lower gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrisson Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Made plate brackets to bolt up to the 2 center bolts on the splitter, it keeps the tag fairly low and out of the way of the HE and rad. Bad phone pics but you can get the idea. Installed the 2.59 pulley from my MY10 and a tune from Revan and Jon Lund today. Only 30 minutes of drive time but its is a monster compared to when I brought it home. The mid range pull is incredible, even with temps in the 95 deg range, again not enough drive time to heat soak the car but I am impressed. Now on to exhaust selection and I may be done for a while, maybe. The Roush is leading the charge but maybe the Hush power from Flow master or the small canisters from Frpp that look lik the older KR version but not sure of the sound.

We need to get together one day and run ours on one of the back roads around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryAnn Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 www.altecproducts.com Hideaway front licence plate. Leave it out for cruising or tuck it away via remote key fob for shows. It's what I've been using this year. Seems to work great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
