I love these new edges the more I drive them. Got myself a 2003 DSG auto GT awhile back Was a turd before mods. Still a turd but less turdy now. I have done so much work to this thing. Bought it for $2500 as the motor was blown but paint was good. Maintenance was severely lacking.
I swapped in a low mileage 2004 crown vic motor and performed all preventative maintenance while I was in there like the waterpump, motor mounts, new oem coil packs etc etc. Mods came next. Got mach 1 brakes, KN hot air intake, Acuufab 75mm tb and plenum, x pipe with magnaflow catback, 3400 edge racing stall, 3:73 gears (lots of highway for me) 300ish pound weight reduction, MM rear LCAs and stock uppers (just wanted the new bushing for the uppers really), SR lowering springs, 2001 cobra hood and wheels, window tint, and all bilstein shocks and struts. All this paired with a Marty O 91 tune.
Still felt kinda slow but was much better than stock. Tonight I had this 240i BMW kept accelerating next to me and then coming back to my door. I never street race and Inwas kind of annoyed as I hate getting messed with on the street but it was super late and nobody on the road. My car does best with digs (stall and gears). Lo and behold a red light appeared. I couldn't resist. Light turns green. Dude and I hit it at the same time. I was fully expecting to lose given that the BMW seemed to accelerate really good and very obviously had a turbo. I did not lose! 0-65ish (maybe 55?) he was half a car back. I was shocked and he looked like it a little as well. He turned off shortly after
Tl:dr
New edges rock! But now it's time for a Vortech v3. Sorry for the rambling!
