Which is fine, I do miss the turbo engine though as the Limited on has a NA 3.5L but it still boogies, but I think the escape delivered more TQ if you asked me.

I traded my GHIG GT for the tremor on a whim. I was going through this phase that i wasn't connecting with my cars anymore. I have a huge love for Mustangs but it wasn't making me happy when I got into it and went for a drive. I was replacing them left and right and modifying them in hopes something would click, but nothing was happening.

Only after I traded the stang for the Tremor did I realize its not the cars fault it was just me and funk I was in, the tremor helped bring back some enthusiasm, and is for lack of a better word, an amazing little sport truck, but I missed having a Mustang so the GF said go find another project car... so I stumbled upon this 02 vert GT and said screw it and pulled the trigger. It gives me something to tinker with and keeps me in the Mustang family.

I am very excited for spring to get here so I can go tearing up the highways, even if I am only making 260hp.

My Tremor has the 3.5 Twin Turbo Ecoboost with 4.10s right from the factory, this thing is a beast but the fuel cut off is set to 98mph from the factory and it wants to keep going. So to fix that issue I disabled the fuel cut off/speed limiter.

Here is the tremor





How do you disable the limiter?

I have 3.5 Ecoboost Screw XLT and it is pretty sad you can't go over a 100 mph!

The wheels look good!

What kind of money for a tuner in ecoboost truck? I may look into that when factory warranty is up.

Not just yet... when I put the strut bar in I will put them in, for now i just wanted to get the new springs and shocks in. the car rode like crap. For the most part it just sits in my driveway right now.
