SAM WOODFOLK BLACK VENOM - 2013 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 STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A MUSTANG FANATIC...

Nicknamed Cobra Sam, I have always been a Mustang fanatic for more than 40 years. I have owned a Cobra SVT since 1997 and when the SN95 era of the Cobra SVT ended in 2004, I started to set my mind to the Shelby GT500.

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!

When the 2013-14 Shelby was released I gave it a few years to work out the bugs and kinks before I decided to purchase my own. I knew I wanted to customize it to my satisfaction and add my personal touches. So that is when I started the journey of repainting and modifying the car.

Modifications include Whipple 3.8 Gen 5 supercharger, custom Fore Innovative complete fuel system, Stainless Works long tube headers, VMP 69mm throttle body, Dd149 cold air intake, BMR drag lowering springs, BMR lower control arms, BMR adjustable panhard bar, and it is corn fed.

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!
