So I've been in the mustang game since the mid 1990's. Back in the late 1980's to early 1990's I was a Camaro guy and spent quite a bit of money on going fast. I had a few camaros including 1969, 1976, 1980, 1985 Iroc, and 1986 Z28. I bought a 1989 LX coupe and never looked back! Took that car to a 10 second 1/4 mile with a 347 stroker and nitrous rowing a 5 speed back in 1996 and driving it to the track. Later on it became a race car and I took it too far and lost interest, sadly selling it right before I got married in 2000. I then went thru quite a few project cars over the years including the famous TTSALEEN that was a twin 67 turbo 5.4 engine that made 1,200 rwhp. I had that car for 12 years and loved it. Got in a few magazine articles with it and won a few dyno competitions. Unfortunately it sat in the garage alot and a guy offered me a good amount of cash for it, so I sold it. Since then I've had a 2002 Saleen twin turbo, 1998 Cobra, 1995 GT, 1994 GT, 1993 Reef Blue coupe, 2006 GT, 2008 GT500, and a 2003 Red Mach 1 with and Eaton swap. My current fleet includes a 2003 10th anniversary Terminator, 2003 Mach 1, and a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT. 2003 Cobra Stock engine VMP 2.3 TVS with GT500 t/b upgrade Metco 2# lower pulley American Racing Headers and 3" x-pipe 80# injectors Lethal Performance return fuel system with twin 465 pumps on E85 Magnaflow magnapack catback McLeod RST clutch Spec aluminum flywheel MGW Shifter Full Tilt Boogie Racing IRS suspension upgrade 3.73 gears LFP rear differential cover AFS 18" wheels Toyo T1 front tires and TQ rear tires 725rwhp on 21# boost This is one of my favorite cars to date. I plan to keep this car a long time. I absolutely love the TVS supercharger on this thing!

I missed my red one after selling it so I was on the lookout for another. When I found this Azure Blue one in Delaware, I immediately drove the 14 hour round trip to own it! This car is my daily driver and is probably the most fun car I've had that serves this purpose! 2008 Pontiac G8 L76 engine Rotofab cold air LS7 mass air meter ported stock throttle body SLP underdrive crank pulley ported and modified stock intake ported, polished, shaved, flowed stock heads Upgraded valves, valve springs, retainers, and locks Removed disable-on-demand (DOD) and replaced lifters and pushrods Little Lunati camshaft OBX long tube headers and 3" x-pipe Hooker Maxflow mufflers 3.45 differential Built and tuned by Rick Crawford Racing Runs 11.50's @ 120mph all motor in 1/4 on drag radials. This is the family car. My wife took over this project since I sold her GT500. This car is fast, easily hauls the family comfortably on long vacation trips, and can daily drive fine with over 23mpg on the highway. Such a fun car, and a shame that GM killed off the Pontiac line with the success they had in producing such a fine car (even if it was imported from Holden in Australia). Ryan
