My name is Dylan, and I’m from Belpre, OH. I am 22 years old and have an unhealthy obsession with Mustangs! My career is in the automobile industry and I have been selling cars for 2 years. I have a passion for all things car-related and building my projects to be faster, stronger, and more than anything: unique.

I would say what got me into cars is my father. Growing up, I and my dad would drive past the Ford dealership every day just to see the new mustangs on the lot. We would daydream of cruising our town in one and hoping one day to do so. I can remember being in 5th grade when my dad pulled up to pick me up from school in a brand new 2011 Mustang GT. It was a beautiful Grabber Blue color. As soon as I saw it, it created a burning passion in me for these cars. Now, I am on my 10th Ford Mustang and I had to pay tribute by purchasing this 2017 Mustang GT in Grabber Blue I know he is looking down and smiling!

I chose this car, not only because it was grabber blue, but because the 2015-2017 MY Mustangs are by far the best to modify. The reasons for that are the aftermarket support is there all the way around. Also, the Gen 2 Coyote is a bulletproof engine and the best coyote ever made. But of course, mine no longer had the factory 5.0…

Unfortunately, the Ford Mustang being one of the most popular sports cars ever made has its downfall: EVERYONE HAS ONE!! I chose to stand out from the crowd, and I can confidently say there is not another Mustang like mine in the entire world. Looking at my modification list will show you!

Owning this car makes me feel so many different ways. I have always wanted to Twin Turbo a mustang. I have always wanted to put a T56 Magnum in one. I have always wanted to build my motor. Everything I’ve ever dreamt of having in a mustang this one has. And it’s so surreal to know it’s parked in my garage. 

I think the most unique part of my car is the engine that’s in it. The engine is a 5.2L Predator engine out of a 2020+ GT500.  But to take it to an entirely new level, it’s not just a stock Predator engine. It’s fully built with Diamond Pistons, Manley Rods, ARP hardware, and much more! Other than the engine, the Level 5 Tick Performance Built T56 Magnum XL is a bonus. Tried to make the car look unique with the bright green callipers on the grabber blue paint. As well as running a very unique Weld wheel setup.

Future Plans

My biggest plan for this car in the near future is to swap the factory ECU for a Motec M150 ECU. From the traction control system to the flawless boost by a gear system, it is just a beast of an ECU

Advice/Tips

My advice to anyone looking to buy a mustang would be to build it how YOU picture it. At the end of the day, you’re spending your money on it. Do not let anyone's views or opinions alter your build. When it’s done the car should represent a part of you!

Group

Our car group is called “Octane Syndicate” and you can find us on FB. 

The car scene has helped me with many struggles in life. It has also taught me that everyone starts somewhere. I really feel like being around everyone in the car scene has made me more humble, and taken my passion to the next level. 

Dream Car

My dream car has always been a mustang like the one I own. But if I had to say another it would probably be a McLaren 765LT
