Default Fastest S in SoFla

I was down at SFP this week and ran into a fellow S owner I had never met before named Josh. He was there having some work done. Very cool guy. We talked shop for a bit and I checked out his car:



What you don't see there is his turbo, which is now fully operational: 15 psi @ 3K RPM. And yes, the motor is fully built (sleeves, rods, pistons, etc.).

I asked if we could go for a spin. He said no prob. (He wanted me to drive, but I didn't want that kind of responsibility.) After a few passes, I had had enough. He nearly broke my neck twice when the boost kicked in. Crazy, CRAZY, fast.

All I can tell you is if you see this car on the road, be afraid. VERY afraid.

Oh, and of course, it's the fastest color.

If its the car I'm thinking about, it was originally towed in from another install/tuner shop ... I won't mention who exactly... but I know them all too well...

Anyways... the car had to be completely redone as the engine had exploded....

So not only did SFP build a hell of a car.. but its been restored from a very bad place....

I'm glad all the work is done...

Funny, you said it was the fastest color. I didn't see any red cars, only that Mustang! Which car in the picture did you mean?lol

Did he have any dyno numbers on the car? Any track times 0-60; 1/4 mile; etc.?

I believe he mentioned his dyno was @ 380. Not sure if that was at 15 psi or less.
