reconfigured engine now makes 520 hp at flywheel, 430 hp at the rear wheels.
To stand up under that higher power, Mike runs a Spec Stage 2 clutch, aluminum
driveshaft, and beefed-up rearend with 3.73:1 gears, carbon-fiber differential
clutches, and hardened 28-spline axles.
Blue lighting under the door handles, seats, dash, beneath the hood, and even in
the headlights and fog lights adds a bit of visual interest.
Mike’s efforts have paid off. At shows, the very sanitary ’93 always gets positive
comments. And Mike, who sold his first Mustang to make way for a family, now
enjoys showing this Mustang with support of that family. They all pitch in to get the
car ready for display.
In a short period of time, Mike’s ’93 convertible won a wall full of trophies,
including Best of Class at MOSI, and Gold at Fantasy of Flight 2011.
Enjoying the car you built, and built well, winning the admiration of other
Mustangers, and doing it all as a family activity — that’s the sweet spot.
