Mustang enthusiasts have asked for a magazine that has no ads, no sales pitches, and no bogus “fillers” to eat up space. They have asked for a magazine that is free, easy to access, and nothing but focused on Mustang pictures and content. They have asked for a magazine produced and written by Mustang owners. They have asked for a magazine that highlights the daily drivers and the average Mustang that is driven and is not a trailer queen. They have asked for the chance to one day have their ride, their group, their club, or their cause to be recognized in print or online. It is our absolute pleasure to meet these standards and to give you STANG Magazine. We hope that both our message and our image will be seen in every Mustang community out there. Thank you Mustang fans and enjoy your ride! - Daniel Ramey, Editor-In-Chief

CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO
NECK SNAPPING TORQUE...
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
My name is Danny Breeden and this is “Back in Black” my 2009 Shelby GT500. It has a Condor 5.4L with forged internals supercharged with the 2.0L Eaton M122.
I bought my car with 2,500 miles in 2021 and today it reads just over 9,300 fun-filled miles. It’s driven to dinner, cars and coffee and car shows, but only when there’s no rain in the forecast!
Prior to Back in Black, I owned a 1995 GT. The only OEM parts were the seats. After selling the GT, I wanted a Shelby for its rich history and rarity; that’s when I found Back in Black.
If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquir ing this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
Enhancements made to Back in Black include 20” Shelby Venom 2.0 wheels with wider tires, ceramic coating, strut tower, radiator and coolant tank covers, catch cans, hood struts, black Milltek exhaust tips and interior trim upgrades.
Back in Black has won more than 30 trophies including the prestigious 2026 Ponies in the Smokies top 75 of more than 1200 entries! A meticulous detailer, I clean every nook and cranny with cotton swabs and wash it with distilled water.
The exhaust note, supercharger whine, acceleration and neck snapping torque are what I enjoy most of the Shelby and one day, I’ll pass my treasured possession to my grandson, Landon.

THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT WITH THE INTENTIONS OF DRIVING!
My name is Gregory Kiser and this is my 2016 Shelby GT350. Current mods include a Vengeance clutch, MGW shifter, Calimer Racing upgrades to Tremec transmission, American Racing long tube headers, JLT CAI, JLT catch can, High Performance tune, and ESS supercharger coming soon.
Previous to the Shelby, I owned a 2024 Mustang GT and a 1993 GT passed between brothers who took turns modding it.
Other than the Shelby name, my preference of analog gauges over digital was one deciding factor in trading the 24 GT for the Shelby.

STANG LOVE - 2009 SHELBY GT500

I’M PASSING HIS MUSTANG APPRECIATION DOWN TO THE NEXT GENERATION..
Mustang life chose me. Growing up, my grandfather had a deep appreciation for Mustangs. He was either working on one in the garage or working towards his next purchase. I inherited my appreciation from him. He always dreamed of owning a Shelby, but he passed before the Ford/Shelby 07 amends. Once the Shelbys were back on the market I knew I had to get one with him in mind. I’m passing his Mustang appreciation down to the next generation in my own kids who also now have a love for the stangs.
If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquir ing this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
This 2009 Shelby GT500 is 1 of 239 with paint and trim codes, custom Niche Vosso rims powder coated to match paint codes of car, has under 18K miles, and packs a 2.9L Whipple supercharger making 729 hp and over 690 ft lbs torque.
