How's everybody's TC's holding up?
I had an SS/SC, and have just found a great deal on a 2010.... Was just wondering how's everyones TC is treating them being modded? I haven't heard too many bad things other than the infintyboost from trifecta...
Postmods, driving style, and mileage!!! Thanks

I drive the car aggressively, but don't flog it..no drag racing.. no NLSing. Not a thing has gone wrong and car is rock solid..no rattles or groans. Get the car...You'll love it providing you don't beat the **** out of it.

Mine's holding up good. It's a 2010 with 14,998 miles on it. Put it away for winter about a month ago. Haven't had any major problems with it, everything was little things going wrong with it, along with some recalls. You should definitely pick one up, you won't be disappointed.

My 2010 has a cold air intake, upper and lower charge pipes, intercooler, vent to air BOV, 3 inch catless DP, 3 inch straight pipe (no muffler or resonator), and a 24PSI Trifecta/HP tunes Terminator2 tune. It dynoed 310whp and 369wtq on a mustang dyno. I drive it to work every day. I have been tuned since 3,000 miles and I am now at 8,500 miles. I bought mine in July. All of my mods are part of the Treadstone "Stage 3" kit. It runs like a champ and can put your ass in the seat hard when I get on it. Soon to come is an Exedy hyper single and a set of drag radials. If you have any questions shoot me a PM. I would say get the 2010 as long as its a good deal. I have taken mine to the strip once and I get WOT more than a few times everyday. I drive it hard but I don't have any problems. But, I take excellent care of it if I do say so myself. It gets driven hard but I don't NLS or use launch control. The suspension is great in stock form and the motor is easy to get really good power out of.
Well dude you didn't exactly get a well built modded one. It was kind of half assed before you got it. Now its much better.
