welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner, 485 horsepower 2012 v6 Mustang
hi my name is Jeff, in this video I'm going to explain how my 2012 v6 Mustang
has 485 horsepower, first let me thank Scotty Kilmer for selecting my car, so
as I mentioned this is a 2012, I got it in late 2011 my wife gave it to
me as a 60th birthday present, you may wonder why I didn't get a GT, she told me
she could get me the GT if I wanted, well I actually thought, you know what
everybody has a GT, everybody has a v8,why not get the v6 and play around with it, do
some mods over the years, and turn it into something that's pretty rare and
that's what I think this is, pretty darn rare, I'm betting that there are less
than a thousand of these in the country, I may be wrong that's my guess, so I
started modifying the car very soon after I got it, the first thing I did was
to put in 3.73 rear gears, it came stock with 2.73 gears
and with the 305 stock horsepower, it was a pretty quick little car
but 3.73 gears really woke it up, the next thing I did, you can see there a
cold air intake, that helped a little bit a little more horsepower a little bit
better sound, you also see that I did a shock tower brace for better handling, I
also put in some Performance Exhaust, the big thing though you see right here and
that's the big power adder in the form of a centrifugal supercharger produced
by pro charger, that supercharger gives me seven psi boost up around 4,500 to
5,000 rpm, you hear the high pitch whistle that you get from a centrifugal supercharger,
it came with a kit and that kit included 50-pound fuel injectors, 30 more pounds
than the stock 20 pound fuel injectors, so what's all I mean, well we Dyno it
after all the installation was done on the supercharger, and the rear wheel
horsepower went from 260 to 415 so allowing for power losses from the
crankshaft to the wheels, that's how we came up with about 485 horsepower, now it
is a beast, it's capable of well below 13 seconds in the quarter mile, and it is
just a lot of fun to drive, I'll tell you another thing about this car, this is my daily
driver, it has over a hundred thousand miles on it, you can see that I take good
care of it, but I can't resist driving it, it is just too much fun and so I don't
let it sit there and collect dust, let me show you quickly some other things that
are kind of neat with this car, it has a beautiful interior the upholstery color
is called saddle brown, I've cobbled together some parts to make an
old-school shifter, the stock shifter was okay but it was kind of short and boring
so I wanted it to look old-school, I also had the car professionally pinstripe by a
friend of mine, Howie has been pinstriping for over 60, that's six zero
years, he put this beautiful pony head on the hood, so that's my 485 horsepower v6
2012 Mustang, and again I want to thank Scotty Kilmer for selecting this to put
on his site, thank you very much and I hope you enjoy it
well that was this week's video, and to have your car mod shown on my channel
