Just saying hello. I bought a 2017 PI as my winter project. Not a daily driver. Goal is an 11 second car for weekends at the strip. I'll continue to suck up all of the knowledge here and will (hopefully) ask questions that haven't been answered a hundred times (I hate that).

Welcome.

There is a fairly easy path to hit 11’s with bolt on’s and a good tuner, it’s just expensive. Ask me how I know.

Thanks everyone. Yes, cost is always an issue but hopefully easy (I'll just copy your build!) but that's why I started with a PI. I'll have to remove some weight (skid plate, ballistic panels, and the rear 75mph impact subframe).

The PI is actually a good place to start once you trim the fat. Weight reduction is key in this platform if you’re after time slips. Once you turn the volume up the 6F55 hates life.

It’s really a shame, the motor in these cars are capable of so much more, the trans however is not.

I think the 6f55 does well for what we give it!!

Welcome to the forum, and as a interceptor owner myself, there a unique Taurus to own.
