I have had both cars and systems. On my 2013 I found the sport setting to be too firm for Houston's bad streets. I kept mine off sport. I have Bilsteins on my 2011 and do not miss electronic control. Elementary system that wasn't needed for street driving. IMO.
Welcome to the SVT forum. As others have said, get to know the car. What mods you want or need will be more clear after a few miles driven. Get to know the different brands and applications.

As the OP indicated he is not going use it for track or auto X . So that's not a factor here.
For me it's about street driving. With Houston's streets, lowering is out of the question. Unless it just a show car. And you don't drive it around. I find Bilsteins to give control on the...
The prices for rear 4 piston rear brakes is insane. Solid axle makes it more so. They are nice. But six pistons in the front, floating calipers in the rear is more than enough for most applications.. But the 4 pistons are real nice bling. I wish they had a kit to fit my old 4 piston Brembos on...

Big worm stripes are great. But stay away from gloss. They ALL have terrible orange peel. No matter the brand. I just bought a 2011 GT500 with 5k miles. I have had a 2013 in the past. They are both are so damn fast. Speed mods are the last thing on my mind. I do like the idea of a better heat...
Just bought a 2011 GT500 SVT Perf pk, Race Red/ Black with stripe delete. 5k mile 1 owner Arizona car. Climate controlled garage (no rubber rot) Dealer had it listed for $48.9k in June. They did a price drop in August and I pulled the trigger at $44k. Never seen a rain drop. Original tires like...
