March 2008 Featured Ride:

Congratulations: Dan "DRCJasper"

First off, I want to say Thank You to the entire SVTsnake staff. I’m honored you would think of my stang for ride of the month. Well, I’ve loved cars as long as I can remember but the car that really got my interest was a 93’ LX vert my dad taught me to drive stick in. For years I drooled over powerful cars growing particularly interested in classic rides. So, when the new Mustang convertible was set to hit the streets just a few months before I graduated, I had to have one. It seemed like the perfect chance to have a classic looking mustang with all the comfort and reliability of a new car.

So, I ordered it in Feb. 05 just 1 month before production started on the convertibles. It took 6 long months to take delivery but in August 05 I finally had my vert. Shortly after, my brother MJ, who I owe a special thanks to, had an 01 Cobra vert. at the time and invited me to check out an SVTsnake track rental. I had anticipated a few years of friendly rivalry between our cars but his terminator changed that. None the less, after that day, I was hooked.

The car went 13.7 bone stock. After that I started with some small stuff, a MAC exhaust and underdrive pulleys, followed by lowering springs and a chin spoiler. Finally, I was tired of waiting for more power and before long I had added a set of CMCV delete plates, JLT intake, o/r H pipe, some 4.10’s and a tune. The cars current best to date has been 12.9 at 108 on a set of M/T drags with a 1.8 60’. The car has more in it for sure.

I still plan on doing a set of long tube headers, maybe cams, and some suspension/brake work as well as a ducktail spoiler. Include the recently added Saleen S wheels and I’ll be all ready to start a project racecar soon. LOL, the disease never ends, I’m sure it won’t for me!
