🔧 BUILD Jeff's 2020 Twister Orange Mustang | Whipple Powa

General Information

I am now the 3rd owner of this 1,960 mile 2020 Twister Orange cookie cutter GT. It is a premium 401a car with performance pack, A10, active exhaust, Recaro seats, and the Bang & Olufson sound system. Car has the digital instrument cluster which I love!

A little history on the car....first owner bought the car and brought it to Lebanon Ford @122 miles. Lebanon Ford then installed a Whipple stage 2 kit, id1050x injectors, MMR billet oil pump and crank gears, and the Corsa active exhaust. This owner sold the car in May of last year with about 700 miles.

Owner 2 is a total gear head. Guy has worked for ZF Group for 25+ years and his hobby is building street cars. The shop he had on his property was fricken awesome. Id say it was about 50' x 100' and had 3 lifts with an upstairs office loft. Anyways, this guy bought the car and installed a Fore fuel system, 3.15 pumpkin, TSP longtubes, and some BMR vertical links and cradle lockout. He then had Lund tune it with an nGuage. Says he had it at the track in October and it went 9.8 @ 146 on a 2nd gear leave.

My immediate plans are to lower it about an inch, and get some street wheels. I kept my old Billet Specialties drag setup so Im good there. Next winter I'll have the A10 built and turn it up a bit.

It's just a tax to have a wheel you won't see in every other mustang. Well worth it and the quality.

And once you spend the money, you'll never think of it again. So one moment of pain immediately turns into a rush of excitement as you can't wait to get them.

Go for it.
Lol the way you explain it makes it so easy…salesman!
The ones on the green GT500 are fucking sexy!
Orange one with the same wheels in brushed dark black.

Drew I’m going down the rabbit hole with this…lol!

I somehow ventured onto a couple Signature threads and I REALLY like a couple of their wheels. The SV107 and SV104. Just a little more than I want to spend on a cookie cutter Mustang, but DAMN!

Lol, yes the Sigs are very nice wheels, but come that price tag. I would love to get a set, but i know the wife would kill me.

This is kind of why i did the Weld setup on my car, i know its a one off setup.

And it looks sooo good.

It's hard to be original with such a popular car like the Mustang. Sadly getting something unique means spending more money than the average Mustang owner does.

You’ve said this before and I just don’t see it. They look like brushed wheels with a dark tint clear. I don’t look at these and think, hey why didn’t the asshole clean the brake dust off! Lol
I'm not a big fan of mosr black wheels. Especially in pictures. But look at how thin the spokes are on that wheel you posted. You're going to see more of the brake rotor and caliper than the spokes. So I think a dark finish will work well with the orange.

I agree I don’t want a black wheel, but the tinted brushed clear wheels look great to me, and I think Orange needs some kind of black tone wheel. Maybe not though?

I like when Pratt helps all of us make financial decisions :LOL:

Both sets of those Signature wheels look hot!
Spending other people’s cash is EASY! Haha

And man I love these wheels, but by the time I put tires and sensors in em, I’ll easily be in at over $7k. Yikes
