MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

My earliest childhood memories are standing against the fence at the dirt track races watching my mom race against the guys in her Ford Torino GT and winning! Growing up in the country on dirt roads a lot of my life when it was time to get a vehicle it was mostly gravel road runners. Being a sales manager at a Ford dealership I have spent some time in about everything available Ford and non Ford. I ultimately decided that a good solid pre-loved gen 2 6r80 401a GT was going to be the route I would want to take to start on a build. I watched the market and waited patiently. Then one day I got a bone stock 1 owner S550 out of Arizona. I knew that car was coming home with me the minute I laid eyes on her.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

ending with a set of Borla 4” black chrome tips. The car was dialed in with dyno pulls, road time, data logging, and a remote custom 91/93 calibration with VMP.

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

Next came suspension and I went all out with everything in the Steeda street/road course catalog. Independence Audio in Independence, MO worked their local KC area famous magic on the Shaker Pro system with a custom JL Audio components all the way around. Other mods include Forgestar F14 wheels and possible boost in the future.

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!

Marilyn rolled out of the Flat Rock assembly plant on April 12, 2017, a 2017 Mustang GT Premium 401a in White Platinum Metallic with the black accent package, 6-speed automatic 6R80 transmission, 3.15 limited slip rear axle and hard loaded. The perfect clean and stock look I knew I wanted to stay with as she came from the factory. That’s where this fully optimized, naturally aspirated rowdy Coyote, aggressive touring build began.

Marilyn is now optimized with a PMAS CAI leading to an AFS ported 2018+ manifold. From the engine is a set of Stainless Works 1 7/8 long tube headers with 3” high flow catted lead pipes paired up with Borla Atak catback exhaust with X-pipe
