ICON EDITION Mustangs

HONORING OUR 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

This is our 2020 GT500 packing 760 hp. We nicknamed it Crazy Horse. It does not have any mods and honestly this amazing machine is perfect right out of the gate! We have done some track events with the car and a few drag racing get togethers. Our passion is cruising with like-minded Mustang enthusiasts. Plans for this year as of this date include trips to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, Hermann, Missouri, Alpine, Texas, San Antonio, Texas, Topeka, Kansas,and lots of other local events and cruises.

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!

My wife suggested swapping the traditional Mustang pony with a some kind of angry horse. I went back and forth with Jeremy over a couple weeks talking about different designs until one day he sent me a picture of Pegasus. I knew immediately that he not only found a design, but also the name of my car, and has become part of my identity. I never imagined it would go as far as it did though. From winning car shows to just being recognized at out of town events. The high point of owning this car would have to be attending the 2022 Carlisle Ford Nationals and receiving the celebrity choice award from STANG Magazine. That will be very hard to top, but I’m excited to see what the future holds for Pegasus! Mods include a MPConcepts GT500 Hood, Custom Graphics by Griffs Garage, Street Aero Rear Diffuser, Ford

I named it after the WWI German Fighter Pilot Ace. I have always had an interest in him and read a lot about his history. Red car, it just seemed to fit, ya know? Modifications include rear spoiler with gurney flap, light bar, shifter knob, tail light covers, front wings, hood scoop, hood vents, hood stripes, hood struts, strut tower covers, dash kit, emblems, and decals. All of the mods were done by my wife Joanie and myself. I have shown her the joys of modifications and now she’s adding stuff to her new Bronco Sport.

So when my wife and I purchased this California Special three years ago it was to be our date night car. Well that was short lived. One modification led to another one which led to more. I wanted a car that stood out from the average GT/CS and the Storm E was born. The stormtrooper theme was definitely unique in its own way. It has been a blast building it to what it is now. Top mods include Roush catback extreme exhaust, Ford Performance handling and lowering package, Detroit rocker cams, Pypes long tube headers and H pype, 3:73 gears, K&N cold air intake, American Muscle Billit wheels, and Ruthless Kustoms for all custom painting.

She is now fitted with double straight through exhaust, shorty headers, H pipe, and American Thunder Outlaw axle backs. To say she is loud is an understatement. She is my daily driver and lives outside on the drive. She is themed now as “The Punisher” and gets quite a few thumbs up and the occasional “REV IT.” Like most Mustangs I don’t think it will ever be finished so watch this space. The two main clubs I am with is Northern Pony’s and Simply Mustangs. Mods include a CAI BBK, shorty headers, custom straight through exhaust with Outlaw axle backs, custom tune, 17”
