STANG Magazine Special Edition: Mustangs At Daytona by STANG Magazine

M A G A Z I N E

Volume 1

M A G A Z I N E

Mustang enthusiasts have asked for a magazine that has no ads, no sales pitches, and no bogus “fillers” to eat up space. They have asked for a magazine that is free, easy to access, and nothing but focused on Mustang pictures and content. They have asked for a magazine produced and written by Mustang owners. They have asked for a magazine that highlights the daily drivers and the average Mustang that is driven and is not a trailer queen. They have asked for the chance to one day have their ride, their group, their club, or their cause to be recognized in print or online. It is our absolute pleasure to meet these standards and to give you STANG Magazine. We hope that both our message and our image will be seen in every Mustang community out there. Thank you Mustang fans and enjoy your ride! - Daniel Ramey, Editor-In-Chief

CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

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

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

first Foxbody, a 1990 Coupe with a 4 cylinder for $500. My current Fox is the third Coupe I have owned. Exploit is the 2023 Mustangs at Daytona Best 87-93 Mustang award winner. For my day job, I am an IT Security Engineer, so I felt naming the car “Exploit” was fitting. I call it Exploit to represent my determination to display the car’s unique qualities and exploit its full power and style. It is equipped with a Ford Performance 363ci Boss short block, forged rotating assembly, AFR 205 heads, Comp XE cam, 60lb Deka injectors, controlled by a Holley Terminator X, TKO 600 transmission, full disc brake conversion with Cadillac Brembo 4 piston calipers in the front, and Recaro “Samurai” pattern seats.

My wife likes to call her my “mistress” which I guess so lol. I call her “GHOST RIDER” and she’s as bad as she looks. With that deep Mustang rumble, you know when she’s coming down the road! Mods list includes roof wrap courtesy of iCandy Designz, hood wrap courtesy of iCandy Designz, hydrodip under the hood that I did myself, C&L catch can, Roush axle back exhaust, RTR spec wheels, underglow, and front and rear LED sidemarkers.

this as factory as I can, especially since the build numbers of these models are so low. There are only 700 of this color in the year 2013. This is 1 of 10 in the build layout. I only added a custom shift knob, green stitched shift boot, green stitched door panels, and LED under glow. I love that it is factory with low miles and she’s enjoyed on the track and at shows. I’ve had several Mustangs and all Fords in my driveway. I’ve always wanted this Boss since it came out since green is my favorite color. Since the color is Gotta Have It Gree, it kind of just told me that I had to have it. She’s the “Green Boss.” I was so excited when I was able to find one and one that was taken care of with low miles. I since have customized my garage floor in the shade of green flake to match my car. That’s my love for it.

This is my 2007 Stage 3 Roush Mustang. This car has a Roush supercharger and an upgraded suspension. The car also features a custom interior and a trunk mounted tool kit. The car is 417 horsepower. While today’s Roush offers significantly more power, this car provides an excellent combination of power and handling. The car sticks to the road like glue. The only modification that I made to the car is adding the speedster top. I have owned many Mustangs, but this car has been one of my favorites. The S197 Mustang is one of my favorites. I instantly fell for the retro look of this car.

vertible. Well I got sidetracked by purchasing a Lightning at the time and that was the first of two Lightnings. Moving forward to present time, everyone who knew about my 03 Lightning also knew it was one of the finest Lightnings around. This is where the Mustang passion comes into play. I found an 01’ Cobra Convertible and no it is not a Terminator but still I was very passionate about getting into a Mustang again. So I would like to introduce everyone to my 2001 Mustang Cobra Convertible.

2021, I went to look at a F150 and when I saw this Mustang on the lot I forgot all about the truck and had to have it. It’s my favorite color. I actually became great friends with the previous owner. He set my wheels in motion with making the car my own and helped me tremendously with detailing for car shows and helping with upgrades. The upgrades I’ve done in short is a Lund 93 tune through Parker Performance, JEGS Performance catback exhaust, BMR one inch lowering springs, Barton Hybrid 3 short throw shifter installed by Parker Performance, Pmas CAI, Steeda anti hop bar and much more. The artwork (airbrush) work was done by HotbrushFX Airtight Artistry.
