2014 Ford Mustang GT/CS  - Nick Turner 

I had my first car which was a 2008 Mustang GT. It was an auto convertible and it was a gift from my parents so I couldn’t complain as I was very fortunate as it was. I really wanted to get a hold of a hardtop in a manual and I really wanted to get into the Coyote platform but stay with the s197chassis as it’s always been my favourite.

My name is Nick and I’m 22 years old from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina currently in school at HGTC for Nursing. Raised here in Myrtle in 2006 and been in the car scene since I was 19. 

My dad and a lot of the movies I saw as a kid got me into cars. I’ve always been into mustangs since I was a kid, especially the 69 fastbacks and Boss 302’s and Boss 429’s. Always went to Mustang Week when I could as a kid and I’ve always been into the s197 chassis, 2005-2014, since it closely resembled the more classic models. I’ve been into drag racing for a very long time and I still am today.

I’ve always wanted a car that ran 4’s in the 1/8th mile but it just hasn’t seemed feasible to me yet. As I grew up, I started to feel that a lot of the mustangs I saw seemed very “cut and paste” to me and just didn’t seem original. So I slowly started to get into the stance scene in 2020 and slowly fell in love with it due to its creativity, originality, and roots. 

Before this car, I had my first car which was a 2008 Mustang GT. It was an auto convertible and it was a gift from my parents so I couldn’t complain as I was very fortunate as it was. I really wanted to get a hold of a hardtop in a manual and I really wanted to get into the Coyote platform but stay with the s197chassis as it’s always been my favourite.

Luckily I was able to find my current car locally and at a good price after almost a year of looking. While I loved the 2005-2009 body style, the 2013-2014 facelift was a close second and I was very excited to get into it. I had absolutely no intentions of the car looking like it does now when I got it back in 2018. My taste just progressed in a different way and I couldn’t be happier where it ended up. 

This car was the first car that I really got into modifying. It started as something pretty simple with lowering springs, exhaust, some Verde wheels and some other miscellaneous cosmetics. But over the years, my taste changed and the car changed with it. This car progressed with me over the years and as I changed, so did it. 

As far as what it feels like to own my car, it’s hard to say. I try to remain a relatively humble person in my life and I don’t brag about owning a car. I built the car so that my kid self would love to see it and sit in it during every stage of mortifying it. With that said, I try to do the same when people ask questions or want to sit in the car and feel it, just to try and give them that feeling that they wanted when I was a kid. I was very much an introvert so I would never ask myself. 

The car has a lot going on for it to be unique. It’s very different from your typical mustang. Like I had said before, a lot of the mustang stuff always felt so cookie cutter to me. Everyone ran lowering springs, black or polished wheels from the same brands, the same exhaust and the same style. All of it just felt really boring to me. So, when I slowly got interested in the stance scene, I thought to try and incorporate that into the American muscle scene. I slowly realized that there is a very niché group of people that do the same and I slowly found the people I call my best friends today. The uniqueness of the car comes from the stance, the air suspension, the wheels, the exhaust and just the style that’s been incorporated into the build.

95% of the work on the car was done by me and my Dad. The only things that weren’t done by us would be more specialized work such as tire mounting, fender pulling/rolling and painting certain panels. However, we have done some of the painting on the car as far as touch-ups and smaller areas that didn’t need a full respray. I never felt the need to put the money into paying someone to do work that I know I could do myself with some time and effort between me and my Dad. Also used it as a great learning and bonding experience over the years. We did the clutch, the air suspension, and long tube headers, along with all the other mechanical work ourselves. I’ve always gone to a local shop, 360 motorsports for the fender work and tries, and the paintwork is done by a friend of mine. 

Future Plans

I have only a few more plans for the car as it sits now cosmetically that I don’t particularly want to reveal right now. As far as performance, I’d love to single turbo the car but I don’t know if I see it happening in this car’s lifetime. I’d love to do a Gen 2 motor build or a “3,2,1” build which is a Gen 3 block, Gen 2 heads and Gen 1 timing components, however, I just don’t love the car for that. What I mean by that is for big power I want a different power plant. I really want to build a 5.4 in a 2007-09 GT500 or a 4.6 in the 2005-2009 Mustang GT’s. I know the 4.6’s don’t make much but I’ve always loved how they sound and I’ve always wanted to build one. So I’m hoping to get into one of those after this car. 

Advice/Tips

My biggest piece of advice when it comes to doing this kind of stuff is to do research and ask questions. We all have to start somewhere. It’s exactly the thing I did. I didn’t know anything about cars when I first started. I learned a lot from my dad, but I also did a lot of research myself. YouTube videos, articles, forums, as well as just talking to people in the scene. Reach out to people, talk to them and ask questions. I was nervous at first but honestly, a lot of us in the car scene is more than willing to help another out the best we can because we wanna see this community grow. I was fortunate enough to have people to help walk me through it. Some aren’t that way but don’t let that discourage you. 

Groups/clubs

@SoScare, @Verified.™, @Dadvengers

The car scene taught me a lot of things. It taught me some sustainability by teaching me how to work on my car in places I never thought I would need to. It taught me a lot about teamwork and communication through meeting all of these people, helping friends, as well as others, helping me. As well as for shows and cruises. I made a lot of friends through the car scene that I know I’ll have for a very long time to come. Those are some friends that you don’t get just anywhere. I also got a lot of inspiration from the car scene.

Not just in the sense of the builds, I see and the ideas I gather from that. Not even learning from the people I talk to. I more so mean inspiration for what I want my life to be like. That I want to travel to all of these shows on the weekends and meet up with friends from all over the US that I’ve met through social media and some I’ve met before and was so glad to see again. That I want to have the weekends free for travel and to make sure I’m given enough days to do it which determined my ideal work and life schedule. The car scene has given me a lot that has turned me into what I am today and what I want to be. 

Dream Car

My dream car comes in two parts. I have my accessible dream car, and the dream car that I’m fairly certain would stay a dream. The car that would stay a dream would be a 2005-2006 Ford GT. It’s been a car that I’ve always loved and it’s sound is just unmatched in my eyes. As well as is a manual supercar that feels like a great combination of classic styling from the GT40 but with modern components for its age.

The dream car that would be accessible with time would have to be either a Porsche 993 or a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4. Both cars are far out of the right field considering everything I’ve said already but I’ve always loved Porsche’s styling and performance of their cars. Always very finely tuned and still pretty modifiable in the more base model packages which is what I’d rather have anyway
