H&R Springs are quite famous around the world for their impressive suspensions systems. And at the SEMA Show the tuner will unveil a very cool Ford Mustang just as another proof of how customizable the iconic pony car is.
The package includes superior performance with a Flowmaster stainless steel exhaust, Edelbrock E-Force supercharger and Pirelli P Zero front and rear tires. And because we are talking about a H7R package, the chassis also receives an upgrade with an H&R Springs Coil RSS sport suspension, front and rear sway bars and Triple C camber adjustment bolts.
For the exterior the Mustang has received a Street Scene Equipment body kit and a very cool blue paint by Tri-Star Enterprise. No details if any changes have been made for the interior, but we bet we will see some changes in there too.
More details about this car will be revealed after its official debut in Las Vegas.
The Chevrolet Camaro was the most popular vehicle during the 2010 SEMA Auto Show. This year, tuning firms from all over the world are expected to field yet another impressive line of Camaros for all the aftermarket world to gawk at.
That being said, Grip Tuning and Martin Technologies are looking to steal the show with a Camaro Convertible that was born from a joint collaboration between the two companies.
The offspring of the Grip Tuning-Martin Technologies marriage is called the ’Martin Z875,’ a Chevrolet Camaro Convertible that was decked out from front to rear with a bombastic array of set-up and performance modifications.
The overall look of the car certainly speaks for itself. The body kit comes courtesy of Grip Tuning and includes rocket panels, front and rear air dams, and an eye-catching rear deck lid spoiler. Adding to that set-up are a set of Camaro Sports BB5 wheels wrapped in Toyo tires and an interior dressed in a two-color Red and Black finish.
Despite its ostentatious look, the true highlight of the whole package is the performance enhancements done on the American muscle car. Using a custom 426 Ci supercharged and intercooled engine, Martin Technologies was able to bring the output of the Camaro Convertible up to a staggering 875 horsepower, more than double the output of the Camaro’s 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 426 horsepower. On top of the mammoth engine under its hood, Martin Technologies also tweaked the overall powertrain set-up by adding a new camshaft and crankshaft, custom pistons, rods, and a stainless steel high-performance exhaust to complete the overall set-up.
Whether or not you’re a fan of the way it looks, one thing you can’t take away from this custom Camaro is that it packs a mighty punch.
The list of customized Ford Mustangs displayed at the SEMA Auto Show was more than impressive. In fact we have lost count of how many customized Mustang we have seen in Vegas.
But one of the most impressive jobs was made by Forgiato Wheels, which did a splendid job in outfitting the Mustang 5.0 GT with a comprehensive modification program that features a wide body kit, a fresh set of wheels, and an impressive performance upgrade.
Forgiato Wheels partnered with TS Designs in creating a wide body fabrication kit while 3dCarbon Boy Racer was responsible for providing the body kit and the Mustang’s sexy Matte Pearl Silver paint finish. The new batch of 21" (front) and 22" three-piece wheels are from Forgiato and if that wasn’t enough, they also gave the Mustang a fresh Vortech supercharger to awaken even more ponies from the muscle car’s 5.0-liter V8 engine. If you thought the 412-horsepower output of the Mustang was impressive, this new supercharger will help it reach stratospheric numbers.
UPDATE 11/07/2011: We have added live images from the SEMA Show. Find them in the picture gallery.
The Ford Mustang has gone through multiple styling changes in the 50 years it has been on the market and there are times when the muscle car’s classic look is still preferred. That being said, try finding a 60’s Mustang in excellent condition that some old timer doesn’t have bubble-wrapped in his garage. Chances are, you won’t find one at an affordable price. You can look for ages, or just take your brand new 2012 Mustang GT and give it a retro makeover. Twenty-three year old, John Heerman did just that and is bringing his one-off Retro Stang to the 2011 SEMA Auto Show next week.
The Ford Mustang GT Retro Stang is modeled after a 1968 Mustang and features a 14" longer hood and ’68 and ’69 Mustang sheetmetal hand grafted into the nose, tail, and rear quarter panels. The rocker panels are also custom made and the headlights, doors, and rear fender caps were hand built from scratch by Heermann. The exterior transformations also benefited from a raised back glass to give the car a fastback look.
Mechanically-speaking, the Retro Stang was equipped with a set of Dynatech long-tube headers and X-Pipe, a JLT cold air-intake, an APR carbon fiber engine cover, and an SCT tune.
Sometimes these DIY makeovers can be utter disasters, but when done appropriately, they can turn out to be a true work of art. We’ll see which category this Retro Stang falls into when we check it out at the 2011 SEMA Auto Show.
The Ford Mustang is arguably one of the most customized cars on the market today and you can expect the muscle car to come to the 2011 SEMA Auto Show in many forms.
One of the more unique Mustangs to be displayed in SEMA is the 4T-GT "Mango Tango" by Kenny Brown. The core ingredient of the Brown’s customized Mustang is the GT-4 Chassis and Suspension Package, considered by most as one of the best tuning programs on the market today. In addition to that, Brown will also be outfitting his Mustang with a bi-turbo system that is expected to drive up the muscle car’s output past its standard configuration.
Other notable additions to the Mustang 4T-GT include a fresh "Mango Orange" paint set-up, a sport rally bar for added support, Sparco racing seats and harnesses, a 6-piston Baer brake system, and a new set of Weld Racing lightweight RTS wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
The Mustang 4T-GT will be on display at the Dynapack Dyno booth at the 2011 SEMA Auto Show next week. Be on the look-out for this finely-tuned machine because there’s a good chance that it won’t be that hard to find.
