When it comes to picking and choosing parts, it really comes down to what you’re looking for. This build is geared towards being an A+/S ranking build, giving you the most flexibility on the road. Certain parts such as the Tires and Auxiliary offer different variations too, though you can swap them if that works for your specific goal for the car. So, here’s what we’ve got put together!

  • Car – 2015 Ford Mustang GT ($91,000)
  • Engine – 710 bhp 3.9l V8 Pro ($400,000)
  • Induction – Pro ($5,000)
  • ECU – Pro ($10,500)
  • Fuel System – Pro ($7,000)
