THERAPIST - 2006 MUSTANG

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

This is “Therapist”, a 2006 V6 Mustang Coupe.

Performance mods include an Airaid cold air intake and throttle body spacer, Demon coil pack, Taylor wires, Diablo tune, and DynaMax exhaust.

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!

Suspension includes Eibach lowering springs, Koni adjustable shocks and struts, Air lift drag bags in the rear springs, Power Stop performance rotors and Akebono pads, and an Ingals strut tower brace from a FR 500.

For appearance, additions include a Cervini B2 chin spoiler, AR Redline wheels with 18s in the front and 20s in the rear, 245 45r 18 tires in front and 275 40r 20 tires in the rear, Roush hood scoop, Gen 5 tail lights, headlight splitters and custom grille, rear window louvers, and my favorite, the painted stripes my friend laid down.

I also upgraded the sound system by running two amps and a Sony head unit to provide the entertainment.

Therapist came into my life in 2008 as a base rental car that I bought from an auction. I’ve added the mods over time with alot of them being gifts from my family. This Mustang is my

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!

“Therapist” for when I feel UNSTABLED.
