I bought this car with the intentions of having fun with it like most plan to do when they buy a mustang. I was coming from a 700 hp terminator to this stock non pi 200 hp mustang so it was a hard transition for me lol! So originally i was planning to drag race this sn95 then i got into auto-x to try something different and it turned out i had way more fun than i did drag racing so i decided this car would be a grip car instead of straight line. Started modding it with budget used parts at the time. Got my 4v swap for a good deal as well and iwas tearing it up at the local auto-x events.Then I then discovered drifting. The way the cars slide, smoking tires, high rpms, tandeming with eachother so close, the smell of exhaust and fuel and did i mention tire smoke? lol! It was drifting and that was the goal, i dropped everything for drifting at that point and that has been the direction of this car. The suspension has been upgraded to more serious heavy duty high performance stuff for this type of driving and i have some stuff that is different from the normal mustangs out there from thecustom front suspension for more steering angle to the rear mounted radiator in the trunk to the custom tubular front and rear end bash bar setups to the hydraulic handbrake. This car has been my biggest project and even though its not the 700 hp terminator i once had i have to admit even pushing at 500 hp this car is way more fun and has been my favorite mustang of the 12 that i have owned.

Another tough lineup but this time it's about engines, so let's break it down.

Wichers123: Lots of custom work, fabrication of parts from the owner and the engine looks like it means business. Very sorry to read about the engine troubles and hope you can get it back on the road soon.

Vortec4v: Auto-X and now drifting. I can only dream of ever trying to do that stuff much less than doing it but you are, so congrats.
I looked at your mod list and said this car should be in a suspension theme ROTM but I took a closer look and saw this car has more than enough power and modifications in that engine bay to be a serious threat to this month's ROTM.

Punched281: How can you not be touched by his wonderful story. This car has played a part in his relationship with his wife to be......good luck with the wedding. Love the throw back carburetor, nice mods and neat.

97stanger: I made it no secret that this was my choice from the beginning. Heck, I nominated the SOB, but I can't seem to put it into words, this engine bay is flat out nice. He has He-Man like POWER, and great aesthetics. All the ingredients for what I believe to be a good representation of this month's ROTM. Great job.
