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

A MECHANIC AFTER DISCOVERING HOW MUCH I ENJOYED IT.

My love for the Mustangs started around 18 years ago when I was only about 11 years old. I fell in love with the new S197. My first car was an 87 LX, as the S197 was a bit too pricey. I learned so much from that car trying to keep it running, so much so that I pursued a career becoming a mechanic after discovering how much I enjoyed it.

I custom ordered this 2014 GT Premium in the beautiful Ruby Red, including all the goodies like leather Recaros, Shaker 1000 audio and navigation. During the 6 week wait for the car to arrive, I had already ordered a Roush exhaust and a few cosmetic pieces. Within a year the car was sitting on the ground with an Airlift Performance 3P kit and custom 3 piece Forgiato Maglia ECL 20 inch wheels. After a trip to the drag strip, I instantly realized the Coyote was quick, but it needed more. I added MMR billet oil pump gears, Boss 302 manifold, JLT intake, 47lb injectors and a Nitrous Express plate system tuned for E85. I put in a stage 1 MT-82, Exedy clutch and carbon fiber DSS driveshaft to handle the added power. My favorite part of it all is the proud feeling of showing off your hard work to other enthusiasts on the road or at a show.

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.

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