For sale is a 1996 Mustang GT, Dark Green color, that has been heavily modified for track day, HPDE and SCCA Solo 1/2 use. It has seen many laps with Chin Motorsports, SCCA and MCA at Sebring, Homestead, Roebling, Road Atlanta, and Virginia International Raceway, as well as Solo 1 events in Gainesville, FL and many Solo 2 events with SCCA Central Florida Region.

The car has only had 1 owner since late 1997 - me. I bought it completely stock, and have selected and overseen all of the modifications, which are many and took place over many years as I progressed the car from a daily driver to track-only use. It has been stripped of a good deal of weight, upgraded in power, suspension and stiffness, can burn through 1st and 2nd gears in full peel yet rip through turns in the Sebring or Road Atlanta Esses like a tuned M3.

Truth be told, I love this car, and wish I didn't need to sell it. Circumstances with family, work and finances and my free time are such that this thoroughly enjoyable track car has not actually been back to the track in several years, and I finally decided that it's better for someone else who wants to have a great deal of racing fun to take it and put it on the track again than to keep it sitting in the driveway, only turning over every couple of months to drive around the neighborhood. This car really wants to run. When I last had it tuned on a dyno and updated the Superchips Red chip, she put out 269 RWHP with 299 torque... and that was before many more upgrades and the weight removal, which now give even more effect to that power train. Instructors who rode in the right seat were impressed with the car on track - it's a nice HPDE sleeper, for sure.


The car body does need a little exterior love: the Florida sun has finally gotten to the roof paint, and the outside curb of Turn 3 at Sebring took off my bumper splitter lip a few sessions before her last track day, so I sawed it off flat and ran without that little 2" lip the last few HPDEs I attended; I honestly didn't notice any difference. Minor scratches and dings from track day use are present, but overall the car looks great, and drives wonderfully  - especially when you're pushing it. Note: this car is for sale locally as well, so please contact me to inquire about coming to see it. Since it's a track car that I've managed to keep tagged, I won't be willing to drive it to meet further than a mile away at the most - cops do tend to look harder at it with the low profile and obvious sound.  Note: mileage listed above is approximate, as the odometer gear recently stopped suddenly.

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

Ford spills SEMA all over its Expeditions

Sat, 01 Nov 2014

If you're going to this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it's going to be tough to miss the Ford booth, simply for its size. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen customized examples of the 2015 Mustang and a quintet of modded Transits. The latest announced addition is a trio of upgraded 2015 Expeditions showing different takes on the recently refreshed SUV.
Any vehicle tuned by Dub Magazine needs to ride on massive wheels, and the Expedition (pictured above) that it has for SEMA is no exception. The SUV has 26-inch Dropstars wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, and, making them look even larger, the suspension is also lowered. The rest of the custom has some mild upgrades like mesh grilles in front, tinted windows, an integrated radar detector and new upholstery inside.
Tijn wants to boost the performance of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for its take on the Expedition. The company claims to add 40 horsepower to bring total output to a claimed 405 by upgrading the engine with a charge cooler from Vortech Engineering, a custom side exhaust and a custom tune. To match the extra grunt, the SUV also gets bigger brakes, an Air Lift suspension and 24-inch, copper-colored wheels with custom fender flares.
