FANS AND THEIR MUSTANGS

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

Her name is Black Christine. The reason? Every time I work on her I always cut my knuckles and bleed, but, there never seems to be a reason why. I’ll notice when the blood dries and gets sticky.

She’s aggressive and never backs down from a challenge.

When purchased her used, it wasn’t because I wanted an upgrade from my 07. This car just seemed to speak to me.

She is a 2013 Mustang GT with long tube headers, Cords extreme axle backs, 302 intake manifold, PMAS CAI, Hurst short throw shifter, and staggered 19” wheels with 19 x 8.5 in the front and 19 x 9.5 in the rear.

I ended up adding the S550 front calipers and left the rear calipers stock that were painted red and ended up painting the front S550 calipers blue. I left the rears red for a reason to leave the calipers in his memory.

The passion for Mustangs is the thrill, the sound, the love for open roads, and pedal to the floor. I have been around cars my whole life. My father taught me as much as he could until I took things to a different level from adding turbos and nitrous to my cars. The passion never goes away as the thrill gets the bones chattering.

Mods include carbon fiber throughout, 125 shot plate nitrous kit, Rovos 20” wheels, BBK full length headers, 2020 front bumper clip, modified Boss 302 intake manifold, Ortiz Performance tune, and a lot more!

It’s always waiting and when I had no one, I had my car. I have loved it since I bought it and just recently started to restore her. I’ve also become “Mustang Mike”, that’s how all my co workers and friends refer to me now and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

for 400 dollars. It had 220,000 miles on it and the original

engine and transmission were broken. The car definitely had seen some better days. So I decided we were going to build a racecar out of it.

It was a long three years of building it into a racecar. I had the help of my family and some great friends. It was always my goal to run nine seconds naturally aspirated at my home racetrack Bandimere Speedway. We finally reached that goal in 2021. It’s been a fun ten years of racing my Mustang and I look forward to seeing what else we can do with this car!

List of mods include a 427 cubic inch SBF naturally aspirated, Ford C4 racing transmission, fiberglass front-end and hatchback, stock based suspension, built 8.8 rear-end, 8.50 cert roll cage, Team Z wing, and parachute.

Racing as been in the family for years. My dad raced lots of cars that I grew up watching, and about nine years ago I bought this car and I have been running it. With the help of my dad and brothers, we freshened up the 408W and built a C4 and then added a bady shot of nitrous to run in some different 1/8 and 1/4 mile classes/events.

During the off season, we’re switching up the power adder and hoping to go a little faster so we can jump in some no prep events.

CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO VIOLET - 2022 MUSTANG GT/CS

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 had I would’ve said hell no.

I loved that car but acquirWHAT A WAY TO LIVE! ing this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows events!

Myand Name is Chris Ferrall and this is my love, Violet or sometimes known as Violent depends on her mood. She is a 2022 Mischievous Purple GT California Special with the Performance Package and Magna Ride. This was the first year the Performance Package and Magna Ride were an option on the California Special. The only upgrade I did was I changed out the speakers to JBL and added a 12 inch sub in the trunk.

Violet is my everyday driver and I may be in my midlife crisis but what a way to live! With a fast car, loud guitar, smoking cigars, and drinking whisky. Mustangs truly bring out your youth and make life so much more enjoyable.

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!
