Atlanta racetrack, bought five of
the six cars. No idea if he still

TESTING THE TEST CAR
In 1990 I was a new editor at Muscle Car Review magazine. Our
other Ford magazines, Super Ford and Mustang Monthly, were going
strong and in the pipeline for hot Mustangs. A white Ronnie Sox
Signature coupe arrived at our offices for some fun and games.
Although the staff of the other titles spent most of the time with the
car, I also got a bit of seat time in the beast. Paxton superchargers
were all the rage, and dipping into the coupe’s gas pedal it was easy
to see why. The Mustang was hotter than a firecracker.
I commented to my co-worker Donald Farr that the car felt stronger
than spoiled limburger, and he said he thought the boost might have
been juiced.
I also remember that there was an amateurish press kit that came
with the car. It probably went into the company files, which I understand have been badly scattered due to multiple corporate buyouts
over the years. — Tom Shaw
