CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

CRIMSON - 2006 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 STARTED MY PASSION FOR CARS WHEN I WAS ABOUT 9 YEARS OLD...

This is my mustang, Crimson, and it is a 4.6 liter 5 speed manual transmission with only 84,000 miles and it has aluminum heads that’s been bored out to a 302. It has 3.73 gears in the rear end and it has an extremely loud cam with shorty headers that flow into a Borla straight pipe exhaust. It has a stage 2 clutch and a stage 2 launch kit and is 98 octane tuned. It has a 4 inch fully functional Cervini cowl hood that’s painted on both sides to match my car. It’s been Dynoed at 438 horsepower and 442 foot pounds of tourqe at 5200 RPMs. It’s sitting on a set of TSW black chrome rims with 17 inch Nitto tires. It’s mean, it’s loud, and it’s fast! I’ve always loved Mustangs and I’ve owned 12 different styles of Mustangs starting out with a black 1987 4 cylinder and worked my way up to every body style from 87-12 but I’ve stuck more with the S197s. I’ve owned five S197 body styles, including this one, because to me they look so much better than any other ones made by Ford.

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.

had the car I wanted, I went and entered my 2008 Mustang into my first registered car show and was parked right beside the same man who had once told me that I wasn’t rich enough to do this, and won Best of Show and he didn’t get anything. I reminded him who I was and what he said to me and told him that he was the reason for me getting into cars since he said I could never afford to do this. He apologized and now we have become friends and I’ve converted him to a Mustang lover after him being a die hard Corvette fanatic all his life! I call that a success!

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!

I started my passion for cars when I was about 9 years old when my mom and dad took me to my first ever car show and I told them that I was going to do this one day. There was an older guy there who overheard me talking to my parents and knew that I came from a not so prosperous family with not a lot of money and he told me that I would never be able to do this because I didn’t have the money to afford a car of this kind. Challenge accepted I said to myself. Fast-forward 20 some odd years later, when I finally
