RIPPING IT - 2004 MUSTANG GT
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.
DAD I HOPE YOU ARE WATCHING FROM UP THERE. I’M RIPPING IT WITH THAT BOOST!
The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!
I was a young boy when I first saw my neighbor and his Foxbody Mustang. That got me into wanting a Mustang ever since. I then fell in love with the New Edge body style. I have had a few in the past years but this one is by far the fastest and most sentimental.
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 bought this car in 2018 as a stock GT. That didn’t last long as I started putting my own touches to it. It started out with nitrous and now it’s currently boosted with a Vortech v2 and a CX Racing intercooler pushing 12 psi on a safe tune. It has a T56 Cobra 6 speed. My car was tuned to perfection by Marty and Jeff at MO’s Speedshop.
It’s sentimental to me because my Dad lost his battle with lung cancer on Thanksgiving day 2021. He loved to watch me race and really wanted me to get away from the nitrous and boost it. So after he passed I changed the car’s mods and got a supercharger for it.
Dad I hope you are watching from up there. I’m ripping it with that boost!
Mods include 2001 Bullitt motor, 47 lb. injectors, methonal injection, Vortech v2, CX Racing intercooler, Pacesetter long tube headers, Borla s type exhaust, Cobra t56 swap,
4:10 rear gear, orofessionally tuned by Mo’s Speedshop , and I’m sure I’m missing a lot more but not everyone needs to know what’s under the hood!
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!
