Miguel Garcia was looking for “a bit more power” when he switched his 1994 Mustang V6 for a 1996 Ford Mustang GT. “Mustang is a very mainstream car but mine is far different from others, with a lot of unique features,” Garcia writes. “Every day someone tells me ‘I don't like mustangs, but yours in an exception.’” Helping him stand out from the crowd is a set of Saleen Square wheels, Borla ATAK cat-back exhaust, modified suspension, fresh paint job and an LED headlight conversion. Garcia also plans on installing a forced induction system, which he says will then be matched with either a procharger or supercharger.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
"The suspension modifications. [My] fender to wheel stock is 5-inches more. I’m [also] flush, which means a hell of a drop,” Garcia writes. “The car feels planted to the ground, plus the Cobra IRS makes it hook in every corners. Cobra brakes up front make a day and night difference. I'd rather put money on these aspects before adding big hp, which is coming soon.”
