About “Stang”
I got this car used back in 2004 with 17,000 miles on her. she was a beauty and still is. She has changed much through the past couple of years and still has many changes left to her. She is a work in progress and keeps getting quicker and quicker. In the straights and turns that is. I love running the Gap with her and also taking her to the track. I have done most of the major work to her and plan on installing a new forged motor in the beginning of the year, im still in progress of building the motor to be faster than ever before
