Mustang enthusiasts have asked for a magazine that has no ads, no sales pitches, and no bogus “fillers” to eat up space. They have asked for a magazine that is free, easy to access, and nothing but focused on Mustang pictures and content. They have asked for a magazine produced and written by Mustang owners. They have asked for a magazine that highlights the daily drivers and the average Mustang that is driven and is not a trailer queen. They have asked for the chance to one day have their ride, their group, their club, or their cause to be recognized in print or online. It is our absolute pleasure to meet these standards and to give you STANG Magazine. We hope that both our message and our image will be seen in every Mustang community out there. Thank you Mustang fans and enjoy your ride! - Daniel Ramey, Editor-In-Chief

purchasing and adding performance mods. I replaced the factory headers, throttle body, mass airflow, 42 lb injectors with a Vortech Supercharger and a Snow Methanol injection system. Once everything was reinstalled and installed, the car went to a local performance shop to be dyno tuned. The Dyno tune required a new computer chip to carry the engine mods. This car has been a 28-year project, with body mods, engine mods, and interior mods. The car is driven to local shows, National and Grand National events, and has taken high awards. The car was presented The Pinnacle Award for Best Modified Mustang for 2019 Class MB 1994-2004 by MCA.

SCCA. We started rally racing in 2021 shortly after we met. We now are 2022 and 2023 Rallycross champions in the Modified Rear Wheel Drive division. The car is a 2014 Ford Mustang with a 3.7L V6 and a 6 speed MT82 transmission pulled together by a McLeod clutch kit. The suspension has been modified to give some much needed ground clearance. Strut spacers and coil overs are mounted in the front. In the rear we are running a Crown Vic suspension and custom made sway bar link mounts (made out of old leaf springs). Our goal in the next couple of years is to cage the car and work our way up to stage rally. Owning a Mustang is a blast and being able to use it for rally events is even more of a

blast! Feel free to follow us on Instagram @KeenanMotorsports and Facebook Keenan Motorsports.
