About
the 2012 modJOBS Ford Mustang GT
The first series of
modJOBS debuted on Thursday September 22, 2011. The episode
introduced the concept of the series and the cause behind it, the
series host (Motor Trend Radio’s Alan Taylor), episode host (Dennis
Pittsenbarger of Hot Rod Live) as well as the build team charged
with constructing the one-of-a-kind Mustang. Collectively some of
the most experienced and well-known car customizers in the business
build team members have also starred in television programs like
Monster Garage, Car Warriors, and Trick My Truck, as well as
contributed their work to The Fast and the Furious movie franchise.
The subject vehicle was
also introduced in that first episode: a black 2012 Ford Mustang GT
5.0 V-8 with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Mustang was provided
through the Ford Motor Company. A range of modifications have
been made to the modJOBS Mustang GT, all chronicled in episodes of
the show. The modifications include:
An E-Force Supercharger from
Edelbrock that boosts horsepower way past 412 HP
stock
A better flowing, more aggressive
sounding “cat back” exhaust system from Magnaflow
Eibach
springs and struts to improve handling and give the car a more
aggressive stance
A quick-shift kit from Hurst
Shifters that shortens the shift “throws” and adds a race car
feel
Aggressive 19” BFGoodrich KDW II
tires that improve braking, handling and steering response
Specially-designed aluminum alloy
wheels designed by lead builder Rich Evans custom-made for the
modJOBS Mustang
