Vehicle Description
If a late-model Mustang can be considered a sleeper, this sinister
black 2005 Ford Mustang GT is it. On the face, it's just a really
nice black Mustang with some flashy wheels, but underneath there's
a seriously fast supercharged 4.6 liter V8 cranking out a
dyno-verified 403 horsepower.
The list of equipment that went into the build is more than two
pages long, so I'll just tell you about the cosmetics briefly
before we get to the good stuff. The fact that this car has only
17,684 miles on the clock should tell you about how nice it is, and
given that the intention was to build a show-stopper from the very
beginning, I doubt it's even seen a major bit of rain. A few
cosmetic upgrades help it stand apart, including the billet
grilles, custom hood, and scoops just behind the doors, and deck
lid spoiler, but if you saw this Mustang prowling through traffic,
you probably wouldn't give it a second look, which is entirely the
point. Red hash marks on the fenders add a little flash that we
like a great deal, tying the exterior and interior together rather
neatly. Take the time to look it over, however, and the quality of
the work becomes apparent, showing a Mustang that looks just a bit
more muscular than its run-of-the-mill siblings. And, of course,
once you hear its cackling exhaust note, you'll realize that this
game was over before it even started.
The interior is still fully functional, with only a few upgrades.
Of course, the factory stuff is pretty good, with supportive red
and black leather buckets, an awesome retro-inspired instrument
panel, and options like A/C, power windows and locks, and a
powerful Shaker stereo system with a subwoofer in the trunk. A few
chrome dress-up pieces like the HVAC knobs and parking brake handle
help to break up all the black, and custom gauges for boost and O2
sensor readings are neatly situated in the center vent openings.
There's almost no wear on the seating surfaces, again indicative of
a car that has been well-maintained and always loved. Beyond that,
the workmanship is impressive and the outside-the-box thinking
makes this car as functional as it is fast.
OK, now about that horsepower. The engine is a pro-built 4.6 liter
V8, complete with a Vortech V2 supercharger and alcohol injection
to keep everything happy on pump gas. Virtually every component
under the hood was upgraded for show purposes, from the chrome
strut tower brace to the custom air brushed intake manifold to the
supercharger itself, which is beautifully polished. It was all
professionally built with the best equipment, and we have receipts
for the build to back up the horsepower claims. The suspension has
been upgraded with bigger sway bars, Ford Performance springs and
shocks, and a rumbling stainless steel exhaust system. The 5-speed
automatic transmission doesn't seem to mind the power churning
through it, and it's still the best way to run a Vortech blower
because it's never off-boost with the gear changes happening so
seamlessly. 3.73 gears make it punchy but the overdrive makes it
easy to drive, and those Shelby-style 18-inch chrome wheels wear
staggered 255/45/18 front and 285/40/18 rear BFGoodrich
radials.
To get the full rundown on this one, including the dyno sheet and
all the components that went into the build, you really need to
give us a call. But rest assured, if you're looking for the
nastiest Mustang on the block yet prefer to keep a low profile,
this is the pony for you. Call today!
