Justin Dugan: On this episode of AmericanMuscle's Hot Lap, we're bringing you the sights and
sounds of the 2014 AmericanMuscle Mustang Show.
If you weren't there, don't worry.
We've got you covered -- 2500 plus Mustangs.
The debut of the 2015 RTR, the giveaway of Project MMD, seeing and hearing a 2015 GT
live in person, and some huge news from Chip Foose.
Chip Foose: I am currently getting involved with MMD and AmericanMuscle and we're gonna
start creating Foose products for Mustangs.
Justin Dugan: What?
Did you guys hear that?
Later, I'll show you some amazing new 2015 renderings made by an AM customer with his
take on what could be new Raxiom and MMD parts.
I'll also show you some more work I've been doing on my 2014 GT.
And of course Steph's got you covered with some cool products and other good stuff to
show you.
Stick around for the special AM 2014 show edition of Hot Lap.
Hey, guys, Justin with AmericanMuscle.com and welcome to Hot Lap, the place to find
out what's hot in the Mustang world.
And of course, we're coming to you live from the AmericanMuscle Mustang Show, the 6th Annual
show here at Maple Grove Raceway.
We could not be happier.
The biggest Mustang show in the entire world and it's happening right now.
If you guys aren't here, what are you doing, man?
This is the place to be.
Now, of course, our usual craziness going on.
Mustang girls, AM girls walking around with some very cool raffles.
A ton of vendors.
A ton of people, over 10,000 people.
And get this, man, 2500 Mustangs.
Absolutely nuts.
Do you hear them making noise?
This is what I love to hear, man.
This is awesome.
Of course, we've got some cool guests hanging out with us today, with Chip Foose, Vaughn
Gittin Jr.
We have the BBK Performance Revving Competition.
Man: Nobody else sounds ready.
Are you ready?
Justin Dugan: The Roush Burnout Competition, which we are very happy about.
And some really cool exhibition races with Project Coyote and Project Grabber Boost,
duking it out one more time after those previous races.
Now guys, really cool foundation today.
Every year, we benefit a different charity and this year a portion of the proceeds are
benefiting the Special Olympics, which have been around for 46 years.
Really, really cool foundation, helping out children and adults with disabilities and
of course doing some really cool stuff within the community.
Guys, this is gonna be one for the record books.
I can tell you already right now, my man, Big Schwag's over there hanging out.
Brett Wagner: Once you get the house, you're gonna...
Hold on.
President Obama.
We'll get back to him later.
Justin Dugan: I don't even know where to start, man.
Let's just get this thing going.
What's up?
How are ya?
How are you doing?
[Music]
Man: This 5.0 just put down 9:26.
Everybody make some noise.
This is the first one.
Best of three.
And that just happened.
My goodness.
Boy, put a veil on him.
[Inaudible] all over again.
Justin Dugan: Look what we've got here, man, a 2015 GT performance pack.
It rocked.
[Music]
Man: You're gonna say the [inaudible] revving competition.
Hello, I'm okay.
[Music]
Justin Dugan: Another vendor that's represented very well here today, Raxiom of course, have
a couple of sick cars behind me, showcasing all of their products.
Of course, we have the Halo fog lights and headlights here, their navigation system,
the Gen5 tail lights.
I mean, these products are killer.
And you get to see them right here in the flesh.
Now guys, speaking of Raxiom, they're actually dropping a very cool, new product this month.
Let's check it out.
Steph: Raxiom is continuing to change the lighting game and they're back with another
new killer product for the '10-'14 Mustangs.
Now as you guys all know, one of the coolest parts about the later Gen S197 cars is the
return of the sequential tail lights that we originally saw with the late '60 Shelby
cars.
Now we all love the sequential tail lights, but you only really ever see them when the
car is turning.
Until now, that is.
Raxiom has integrated the sequential pattern into your hazard lights as well as in your
stop lights when you step on the brakes.
They'll sequence once before turning solid red.
One of the coolest parts, I think, is you get a sequence when you lock and unlock your
car.
The sequencer is super easy to install.
It shouldn't take you any more than five minutes.
For the money, it's definitely a cool way to customize your ride.
Justin Dugan: As I mentioned earlier, there are over 2500 Mustangs here.
Obviously we wish we could've seen them all, but my man Brett had to take a closer look
at a few of those.
Brett Wagner: All right, folks.
Big Schwag at AmericanMuscle Car Show.
Steve, another Terp from Maryland.
Steve: What's going on?
Brett Wagner: So this is your first AmericanMuscle Car Show.
What do you think so far?
Steve: Crazy.
Don't know where to get started.
Brett Wagner: Now, a little earlier you rolled in.
People were looking at this car.
You've got a thousand horsepower on the car.
Beautiful ride, by the way.
Tell me a little bit about it.
Steve: Well, it's a 2012 built out of Shelby American.
The motor's pushing 1200 to make 1000 at the tires.
Fully-built motor with a Kenne Bell 3.6 Supercharger.
Brett Wagner: Now do you go down the track at all or is this for just...?
Steve: I'd like to take it to...
The Shelby Series told me I should, because that's what the car is built for.
Brett Wagner: I mean, it's just me but if I had a thousand-horsepowered car, I'd be
going down the track.
Steve: Oh, yeah, you believe it.
Brett Wagner: Who you hanging out with today?
Steve: AmericanMuscle.
Brett Wagner: BAM!
Is this your first AmericanMuscle Car Show?
Matt: It is.
Brett Wagner: What are you thinking so far?
Matt: It's awesome.
It's the largest I've ever seen.
Brett Wagner: It's the largest in the world.
Beautiful looking Mustang.
Tell me a little bit about it.
Matt: 2007 Roush 427R.
Brett Wagner: Now what really caught my attention, man, is when I was driving by, this was on
your car.
Matt: I know.
Brett Wagner: What are you doing that you gotta get rid of the car?
Matt: I gotta grow up and get a house.
Brett Wagner: You gotta grow up and get a house.
Once you get the house though, you're gonna get back into another Mustang, correct?
Matt: Absolutely.
Brett Wagner: You know we got some stuff for that at AmericanMuscle.
Matt: Yep, it's the best place for American parts--AmericanMuscle.
Brett Wagner: You heard it right there from the man, Delaware.
Matt, thanks for coming out, bro.
Matt: Thank you.
Justin Dugan: Hey, guys, we're here at the 2014 AmericanMuscle Mustang Show.
Our friends from Ford brought along a beautiful 2015 GT Performance Pack.
It's got the massive Brembos upfront, the crazy wheels, and this thing is just stunning.
I can't tell you how many people came up to me and said, "Man, I wasn't crazy about this
thing at first, but seeing it in person, it rocks."
And I couldn't agree more.
This thing was rocking a Ford racing by Borla Touring Catback exhaust system and we actually
got to hear it.
Check it out.
Now speaking of the 2015, our boy Vaughn Gittin Jr. is here, of course, again this year for
our sixth annual show.
And he's got some very interesting 2015 news.
Let's check that out.
The man Vaughn Gittin Jr. is back again, of course, for his second year.
Always a pleasure, my friend.
Vaughn Gittin Jr.: Yeah, Man.
I'm absolutely pumped to be here.
This is amazing.
When I showed up today and saw the fields of Mustangs, I was like, "Oh, these boys went
big."
Justin Dugan: I think one of the biggest things about this show, we're standing in front of
it, man.
The first time, the unveiling of the 2015 RTR.
Talk about it little bit.
Vaughn Gittin Jr: This is hands-down the best Mustang Ford's ever made.
So we're just pumped to have that platform to work off of and add a couple of tweaks
there.
So our front chain, very aggressive.
We got the rocker splitters, a very aggressive rear diffuser.
Obviously our signature rear spoiler definitely going with a very similar style on that.
I love that.
One thing I'm really pumped about is our grill.
Justin Dugan: Is this actually like an LED?
Vaughn Gittin Jr.: This is a diffused LED.
So, it won't have any hot spots.
It'll be a solid light and when you're rolling up and someone looks in the rear view, they
know it's gonna be an RTR.
Justin Dugan: Well, guys, do not forget you can pick up your S197 RTR parts at AmericanMuscle.com
and be sure to look out for exclusive select RTR parts for the 2015.
So you guys make your S550 look as bad-ass as this.
I know you're a busy man.
You got a lot of testing.
We're gonna try to keep up with you.
Show you guys some of the behind-the-scenes footage of this guy testing these parts.
Bring it to you.
Subscribe if you haven't done so already, so you can keep an eye out for that.
Thanks again for making it to the show.
Vaughn Gittin Jr.: Thanks, man.
Everyone around here has just been amazing and let's just keep rock 'n rolling and keep
doing it big.
Justin Dugan: I like the sound of that.
Okay, guys, last but not least on the 2015 front.
This is really cool.
You're gonna have to check this out.
AM customer and fan Matt Hilburn, from Hilburn automotive, recently assembled a few renderings
of the 2015, along with some parts that he thinks Raxiom and MMD have up their sleeve
for this car.
Now personally, I don't know what they're working on.
Those guys are crazy and they're always working on something, but what he did was he took
some inspiration from past builds, from the S197, from the S195, and applied those same
styling cues to the S550.
So of course, you'll see the 551C wheels right away on this car.
We also have some really cool stuff going on upfront.
There's the Halo headlights that he's working on, the front chin spoiler or fascia area
looks really cool, and around back he actually threw a few different deck lid panel options
just to change things up, along with some different taillights.
Now this is totally cool, man.
Of course he's got the car in the traditional blue and orange and we love him for that,
but I think it's cool.
He took the time to do this on his own time and who knows, maybe it's something Raxiom
and MMD might actually do.
You'll just have to wait and find out.
In the meantime, we wanna hear what you guys think of Matt's drawing.
Let us know.
Drop us some comments and maybe some of the parts you like, even some parts you're not
totally crazy about.
We'd love to hear your feedback and again, you can catch all these pictures of the 2015
and more stuff on our blog at AmericanMuscle.com.
Brett Wagner: You know what's amazing, folks, is this being my first AmericanMuscle Car
Show, is that the sheer amount of cars here.
I think we got anywhere from 2500 to 3000 Mustangs.
Glad you could be hanging out with this.
And if you're not, at least you're watching this at home.
We'll see in 2015.
AmericanMuscle Car Show, Maple Grove.
Justin Dugan: All right, so one of the most unique things I'd say about 2014 AmericanMuscle
Mustang Show is the addition of the tattoo booth.
And no, not an airbrush tattoo, not a rub-on tattoo, this is a legit tattoo.
I mean, I know I didn't think actually anybody would sign up for it, but believe it or not,
they've had a line all day.
We actually had to turn people away.
It's been that crazy.
So John's gonna open the door here.
We're gonna check it out and see what these guys are getting.
So, let's check that out.
What are you guys going?
I see you got like a piston thing going on there with the wings?
Man: It is because it's the same thing.
Justin Dugan: Very cool.
So you guys are both doing the same thing?
I like that.
It's kind of like a traditional style.
You've got the AmericaMuscle in there, which is really cool.
I mean, you have tattoos.
Do you have any other tattoos also?
Very cool.
So this isn't your first one or anything.
It's probably a bad time to tell you we're changing the name of the company next week,
right?
No, I'm just kidding.
All right, guys.
This is really awesome.
There you go, guys.
2014 AmericanMuscle Mustang Show.
Free tattoos.
Definitely a first and hopefully not the last because it's a big hit.
Man: I just got a free tattoo at the AmericaMuscle Mustang Show.
Awesome.
Justin Dugan: All right, every year, of course we bring the AM fleet to our show and it's
no different here this year.
They're scattered all throughout the facilities here, representing strong blue and orange.
You know how we do it.
Of course every year, we have a very strong Employee Ride Show.
This year is no different.
Now some cars you might've seen some fast bids.
Of course Steph's got her Fox Body here.
My buddy Matt's got a GT500.
You might have recognized from the Mustang Mayhem bid.
Of course, my buddy Ryan's got his convertible SN95 here as well.
We always love showing off our Mustangs.
We don't just talk about it.
We don't just sell the parts or whatever.
We are true Mustang heads and that could definitely be seen right there in the Employee Ride section.
In fact, I'm standing in front of my 2014 GT right now.
You might've seen some of these builds in past videos.
Basically my stage 1 and stage 2.
But guess what guys, I'm working on it a little bit more.
We've got another video for you.
So let's check that out.
As you can see, I have my '14 GT back in the shop.
I'm doing a little more work on it today.
You guys seem to be really digging these videos, so I'm gonna keep bring them to you.
If you caught the first couple videos, you can see the general direction of the car appearance-wise.
I have that GT500 theme going on, thanks to the matte white stripes on the car, which
I think looks really cool.
The GT500 spoiler and some other little parts.
Performance-wise, you saw the Cobra Jet Intake Manifold I did in the second video, along
with the big monoblade through auto body, the off road H-Pipe, and the manifold exhaust.
So the car's running great, looking good so far, but I definitely have some more stuff
planned today.
I'm starting off with the chin spoiler here, the Roush front chin spoiler, which I just
finished up installing.
Really a big fan of this chin spoiler.
Not a whole lot of options available out there for these generation Mustangs in terms of
lip spoilers or chin spoilers.
The RTR is nice.
It's a little too radical for what I am going for.
Boss is really nice, obviously, but price is a little high for me.
So the Roush is just right.
I like it.
It's simple lip, yet I think it really adds a lot of the car.
I do have some other appearance stuff going on here today, guys, and addition to some
stuff inside the car finally.
So let's go to the side and I'll show you some more appearance stuff.
All right, guys.You've been hearing me talk about it for the last few videos.
Guess what?
The nice weather is finally here, so finally been able to throw in my new wheels and I
could not be happier.
The 13 and 14 GT500 style wheels wrapped in very good Mickey Thompson rubber here.
Again the 20-inch charcoal, I think they look awesome on a white car and they really just
nailed that GT500 look that I've been after ever since I bought this car.
My vision is finally coming together thanks to these wheels.
In addition to that, guys, I also did the Roush side and rear splitters to go along
with that front chin spoiler from Roush.
I think the total package really adds a lot to the car in terms of appearance and just
gives it a much more aggressive look.
Check out the rest of the work I did on my GT.
Just click the link below if you're watching this on YouTube or if you happen to be catching
this on Facebook, head over to our YouTube channel, AmericanMuscle Videos, and check
it out.
Steph: Hey, guys.
So another new product that we're super excited to introduce for September is the SR Performance
Coil On Plug Kit for the 1999 - 2010 GTs or the 2007-2012 GT500s.
If you're looking to replace your factory coils or if you're looking to upgrade, the
SR kit is a great option for you.
All right, guys, so a couple of big things I like to point out about this kit.
The main one being that this Coil On Plug Kit produces a much hotter spark.
It's hotter by about 15% to 20%.
The hotter spark means faster starts, better idling, improved fuel economy, and even a
little bump in horsepower and torque.
You're also gonna be eliminating any misfire issues that you could be coming across if
you have a failing OAM coil.
You get all that performance at a very affordable price.
If you'd like to learn more about this kit and all the other new products this month
and you're watching this on YouTube, just click the link below.
If you're watching from Facebook, head back to AmericaMuscle.com, click on the homepage,
and look for the new products tab.
All right, guys, so before we head back to Justin to finish up this episode of Hot Lap,
I wanna tell you guys about an exclusive view from Mickey Thompson that's only here at AmericaMuscle.com.
During the month of September, if you purchase any set of four Mickey Thompson tires or any
wheel kit that has Mickey Thompson tires in it, you get $100 gift card to use here at
AmericaMuscle.com.
The sport comp tires are a great option for any Mustang owner and I can tell you from
experience, because I'm rocking them on my Fox Body.
They're a very sticky tire and you get good tire smoke.
Make sure you jump on this deal before it's too late.
All right, guys, so a couple more things that I wanna announce to you before I get out of
here for real.
Last month, we ran a C&L Cold Air Intake and Bama Custom Tune giveaway.
Well, I have a winner for you.
The winner is Garry G. from Toronto.
Justin also announced a Kooks Long Tube Header and Mid-Pipe giveaway.
And the winner for that is David L. from Belleville.
Congratulations, guys, and I hope you enjoy the extra horsepower.
Now this month, in September, we are giving away $250 to use here at AmericaMuscle.com.
If you'd like to enter and you're watching from YouTube, just click the link below.
If you're not watching from YouTube, head on over to Muscle.AM/Mustangsweeps and get
yourself entered.
Justin Dugan: Project MMD is about ready to be giving away to some very lucky person's
gonna take this thing home today.
I cannot believe it.
Just to give you a refresher, this is the Mustang.
We built for the 2013 SEMA show out in Las Vegas, along with MMD.
Hundreds of thousands of entries and we've been running this contest for months now.
Chip Foose: Since April.
And that lucky winner is here today.
Zachary Villarreal from Alice, Texas.
Please come up and grab the keys.
Congratulations.
You don't wanna hug me, you wanna hug that key.
Justin Dugan: There he is.
Congrats, man.
Chip Foose: That's awesome man.
Justin Dugan: There he is.
Let him know.
Chip Foose: What are you feeling right now?
Zachary: I'm speechless
Justin Dugan: There you go.
You wanna start it up?
I think the people want you to start this thing up.
We gotta give the people what they want.
Let's hit it.
See the airlift doing its thing right now.
The car's dropping the right height.
Chip Foose: How about a round of applause for MMD for building this car and giving it
away.
How many people want MMD to do this again?
Well, I hope you're all here next year because we've got a little announcement to make.
I am currently getting involved with MMD and America Muscle, and we're gonna start creating
Foose products for Mustangs.
Justin Dugan: What?
Did you guys hear that?
Foose products available at AmericanMuscle.com for your Mustang.
Chip Foose: We're gonna have 2015 Mustang in the Ford booth at SEMA this year and we're
gonna give away a Foose MMD Mustang here next year.
Justin Dugan: I can only imagine you're gonna be here to give that puppy away, right?
Chip Foose: I'll be here.
Justin Dugan: There you go, guys.
He's gonna do it all over again.
We're gonna be here, of course.
This thing, I don't know how much bigger it can get, but I think we're gonna try it for
next year, man.
All right, guys, that's gonna do for this episode of AmericanMuscle.com's Hot Lap, coming
to you live from Maple Grove Raceway.
Guys, it's been an awesome, awesome day.
This is one that I will always remember, man.
We had some really cool stuff going on BBK Performance Revving Competition along with
the Roush Performance Burnout Competition.
It was definitely a crowd favorite.
Of course, we had some really cool giveaways, thanks to the America Muscle girls.
We raised over $35,000 for Special Olympics, along with the help of the Red Mustang Registry,
who actually pitched in a little bit, which was really, really cool.
