To get all of the power the Vortech blower was supplying to the ground, Steve enlisted BMR Fabrication to help out in the suspension department. After bolting in a new Pro-5.0 shifter for the five-speed transmission, BMR hooked up a pair of subframe connectors. A strut tower brace and A-arm supports made their way onto the front suspension, and Tokico D-spec struts, springs, and shocks found their respective homes on all four corners. BMR also constructed tubular control arms complete with polyurethane bushings, adjustable upper control arms, and a tubular Panhard bar. All of this helps keep the 20x8 front and 20x10 rear Foose Nitrous wheels and corresponding Nitto 255/35/R20 rubber planted on the track and the street. Baer Decela rotors help shorten the stopping distance.
Just like the original Mustang, which appeals to every fan in one way or another, the finished product served a dual purpose for Steve. "I drive it as an everyday driver, and I take it to the track on weekends for SVTOA and NASA driving events," he says. "I really enjoy going to the race tracks with this car because it has a show-car look with a bunch of go under the hood."
Luckily for us, we were able to keep the car in focus long enough to get a good, close look at it.
