Pulled the trigger on a new GT

Pulled the trigger on a Race Red 15 GT with the Performance Pack and traded in our 2011 with the equivalent options, minus the Recaros.
Performance pack includes:
Strut-tower brace
Larger radiator
Unique chassis tuning
Larger rear sway bar
Heavier front springs
Different (and cooler) dash panel
Extra oil and vacuum gauges in the center stack
K-brace
Brembo 6-piston brakes
Wider tires (255 at the front and 275 at the back)
Different stability control and steering tuning
3.73 rear gears with a TORSEN diff

So far, the in-your-face colors....RR, TY, CO....seem to work best on the S550 IMO.

Hey Benni,

Congrats on the purchase of your absolutely beautiful S550!

Although I might be slightly biased, the color is absolutely gorgeous!

What are your plans for this beauty?

Let me know if I can be of any assistance!

Thanks Will- first things first the windows are getting tinted tomorrow and most likely after that will be flowmaster outlaw axle backs(same set-up as our old car). Then maybe lowering springs which we're still undecided on. I honestly only want to drop just the front by maybe a .5" and leave the back as is.

Sounds like a good start Benni!

You can't go wrong with tint and the Flowmaster Outlaws sound great on the S550!

Let me know if I can be of any assistance, I'm just a PM away!

Pls keep us posted on the Outlaws. I am leaning towards them for my '15 when it arrives. I was going to put them on my '12 SS Camaro and let Flowmaster talk me out of them. This time I wont be dissuaded. I live in a rural area and a few more decibels arent a big deal.

Exactly what we did- traded our 2011 Race Red GT Brembo car in on this one only because it was so similar.
