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

THE CAR HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO HAVE.

My name is Jon Fink. This is my GT500 called BLUSNKE. She’s a 2020 in Velocity Blue with the Handling Package and Technology Package. I have always been interested in cars, fast cars, since the 70s and 80s. There is nothing like that feeling and sound of a muscle car making a hard pull. I had mostly beater V8s once I started driving but always had that need for speed. My first Mustang was a 1989 GT 5.0 that I had a blast with. I got married, had a kid, and there were no muscle cars again until later in life. In my 50s now and in a position where I could get back into a car, I began looking at 13-14 GT500s on the used market right when Ford announced the return of the GT500 for 2020. This shifted my focus to a new one. I got into the game late in the ordering process so most of the dealer allocations were already spoken for. I called up and down the east coast looking for a dealer to place an order for me finally finding Loudon Motors Ford in Ohio. I placed my order in February of 2020 and then Covid hit, delaying the build multiple times, until I took delivery of this car at the end of July of 2020.

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!

the local drag strip with a best of 10.47 at 133 mph. I do have plans to get her out on the road course at some point but haven’t got that scheduled yet.

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.

Mods include Gloss Black over the top stripes/side stripes, full PPF and ceramic coated, Function Factory carbon fiber hood vent/rain tray, Trufiber carbon fiber covers on coolant tank, fuse box, and brake reservoir, Bemaro Films windshield banner, supercharger and steering wheel snake decal, and hood prop cover, VLAND smoked rear tail lights, Diode Dynamics smoked side markers, Raceseng Burnt Titanium tow hook, SPE 2.8 supercharger pulley with local tune (Vision Motorsports), Lethal Perf H-pipe resonator delete, and SPE Trac bite system.

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!

The car has been an absolute joy to have. The color seems to catch all of the attention getting many compliments. It is mildly modified and feels great making pulls. It makes just under 800 RWHP currently. If someone wants a ride, I almost always get them that ride along to show them what the car will do. I feel that everyone interested in cars should at least get to ride in one like this. I attend many car cruises/shows and attend Test n Tune sessions regularly at
