Hi Everyone!

Proud owner of a brand new (last friday) 2021 2LT 4 cyl Redline Camaro just outside Tampa in Oldsmar. Soon to be former owner of 2016 Ecoboost Mustang (convertible as well) (maybe - might keep it as a project car - f' with that and not the camaro lol)

As much as they're direct competitors, the fit and finish on the Camaro is so much nicer than the Mustang IMO. Was a great car, but I like the Camaro so much more.

We modified the Mustang pretty heavily (CF wing, fiberglass hood / fenders, racing seats / harnesses / wrapped, Methanol injection, flow master exhaust, catch can, mbrp downpipe, waste gate, etc...)

Think I'm gonna keep this one pretty stock, maybe - minor cosmetic things here and there I think.

Did the under body led (almost said neon - it's been some time lol) lights last weekend. Window tint is coming this week (5% all around because #florida)

Kinda missing the interior accent lighting from the mustang - that was a nice touch - I've seen people do it on the forum / doesn't look to difficult to do.

Question(s) ?

-- What's the max speed you can operate the top? Love that it hides in the trunk but damn it kills the trunk space. Barely got 2 beach bags in it.
-- I've seen the discussion on what the block can handle and the basics to do - CAI looks like it's not worth it. Some say the 67mm throttle body helps.
-- The flowmaster exhaust on the Mustang was just to damn loud - can't even talk to your passenger while driving. If I change the exhaust on the Camaro, I wanna go with an active one where I can quiet it down. Any suggestions ?

Blew up the engine on the Mustang last spring (think the tune was to aggressive or maybe it was the methanol) - trying to avoid that this time around lol...

Also - all the names are sooooo confusing. 2LT is a trim level, right? and LT2 is a v8 engine? Redline is printed on the red accent on the trunk so I assume thats yet another trim level ? Dealer wasn't super knowledgeable and the car was still wrapped from delivery when we bought it so he didn't know much about it (not even sure I have the window sticker lol)

Anyway - excited to be a member!
