NAVY LIFE - 2021 SHELBY GT500

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

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 PEOPLE SERVING IN THE MILITARY ARE SOME OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE YOU CAN EVER MEET.

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

My car is a 2021 Shelby GT500 chassis number M0700. It has Vorshlag adjustable camber plates, BMR IRS lock out kit, lower control arm bushings, and a Kong Performance carbon fiber cold air intake. It has run a best of 10.619 at 133 mph in the 1/4 plus sees road courses too.

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!

My name is Ron Martin and I live in Warren, PA. I am a retired Boiler Technician Chief. I got into Mustangs in 2006 when I bought my first one. It was screaming yellow. I started modifying it right away and built it into a 10 second street car. I have always loved Mustangs from the first time I saw one as a child.

I loved my time in the service, I was onboard four Destroyers, one helo carrier, and was a Craftmaster at ACU4 driving the LCACs in my last tour. LCAC 40 was my boat. The people serving in the military are some of the greatest people you can ever meet.

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
