Lol. Total brain fart! Sorry for the confusion. New car does look great. I'm sure it handles a lot different than the 4 door.

Sweet looking ride. Now you need the belt line blackout kit from Outmotoring to finish it off.

244 WHP and 283 WTQ. I'm happy with that considering Mustang dynos aren't very forgiving. I'm not too sure what percentage would give me crank HP.

Mods:
NM ENG strut bar
NM ENG 25mm GT rear sway bar (medium setting)
NM ENG power module
NM ENG SS braided brake lines
AWE Tuning Touring exhaust
AFE high flow intake filter
Forge Motorsport intercooler
JCW Pro suspension
HRE R40 wheels 18x8
Michelin PSS 215/40/18
BavSound full HK replacement including under seat woofers

I started with the HK system. The Bavsound speakers are a noticeable improvement. The underseat woofers are punchier than the HK woofers. They are the same size (8 inches), but the Bavsound ones have a much better design. The bass will be more defined whereas the HK woofers sacrifice clarity for volume. Remember that new speakers, especially subs, take time to break in and sound their best.

Thanks Nelly! I have he HK and really like it. I do like the occassional window rattling base. Thanks for your input. Will most likely go underseat speakers first and see how that goes.

Thanks! Yes they fit just fine with no spacers. HRE took measurements of the car prior to making the wheels.

Thanks! It's an expensive hobby. I figure we can't get the JCW Challenge in the US, and there's no signs of a F56 JCW GP, so I'll make my own. Still have a few more mods on the way.

My local MINI dealership told me the new F56 'GP' was set to be released 2018-2019.
