Justin: Hey, everyone.
Justin and Stephanie with AmericanMuscle.com, and welcome to special edition of Hot Lap,
our last episode of 2014.
And to help me recap some of our favorite moments of the year, Stephanie is going to
be hanging with me for the entire episode, which I know is great news for a lot of you
guys at home.
Stephanie: So we're going to be breaking down our top three moments or events from 2014,
starting with number three.
Justin: Absolutely.
Now Steph, I think a lot of people would argue that we have some pretty awesome perks with
our job, probably my favorite being that we get to go on some crazy ride-alongs with some
pretty accomplished drivers.
Stephanie: Why don't you guys take a closer look at some of our fun ride-alongs from the
past year.
Justin: Whew!
It definitely rips.
There's no doubt about that, Steph.
Justin: All right.
Well, that was a lot of fun.
But now, Stephanie, let's get into our number two moment, which not only was our number
two moment, but probably a highlight for a lot of other Mustang enthusiasts out there.
And that's the release of the 2015 Mustang.
Stephanie: So 2014 was really all about the 2015 Mustang, and I guess it kind of all started
for us when you guys headed down to New York City for the big review.
Justin: Yeah, we got to see that thing roll off the truck for the first time in front
of Good Morning America.
It was really cool.
But then you guys got to go to Charlotte and actually check out the 50th anniversary 'Stang,
too.
Stephanie: Well, I think the fun really started for us when we got our own 2015s, a couple
of GTs, and an EcoBoost.
We got to take the cars to the track and do some testing, do some burnouts, and really
get our hands on the car.
Justin: Yeah, absolutely.
Lot of fun.
That all kind of lead into SEMA, which, of course, is 2015 Overload Hottest Car of the
Show again this year.
A lot of that had to do with the MMDV series car, which you saw for the first time.
The orange car behind me was in the Ford Star booth.
Of course, we had Chip Foose and his 2015 Mustang there, featuring some MMD by Foose
Parts.
And last but not least, our boy Von Gitten Jr, with a spec 2 and spec 5 RTR, doing his
thing, drifting all over the place.
But we cannot forget about the highlight of the 2015 for us, at least this year, and we're
standing right next to it, the first 2015 Mustang into the nines with the big help of
a shot of nitrous.
Stephanie: And don't forget, this car won 10-60's All Motor.
Now, that's two very big accomplishments right out of the gate for American Muscle and for
the BAMA Team.
Hey, guys, I'm pumped to announce that MMV has just released a new wheel to their lineup.
the MMD Zeven wheel, fitting 2005 to 2015 Mustangs.
Now, the goal with this wheel was to create a modern and aggressive-looking split-spoke
wheel that will look just as good on your track car as it would on your weekend show
car.
The Zeven wheel is offered in both 19- and 20-inch diameter with an eight and a half-
or ten-inch width.
All sizes are available in charcoal, silver, and black.
And if you choose to pick up a wheel and tire kit, these will all come kitted with Mickey
Thompson tires, mounted and balanced for free.
Now, I will say that these wheels will not fit the '11 to '14 GT 500s without the help
of a spacer up front, but they will fit the Performance Pack 2015s, equipped with massive
six piston Brembos without an issue.
So if you're in the market for some new wheels and you like the aggressive look Zevens provide,

MMZ Zeven wheel, fitting 2005 to 2015 Mustangs, available exclusively at AmericanMuscle.com
Justin: All right, Stephanie.
Well, that leads us to our number one moment of the year, which I think was a pretty easy
decision for the both of us.
I mean, it's a day we always look forward to every year.
It's the biggest day of the year for us here at AmericanMuscle.com, and it's our opportunity
to give back to you guys, the fans, the customers, and just have a great day.
If you haven't guessed what that day is by now, well, it's the 2014 American Muscle Mustang
Show.
This year featured over 10,000 people, 2,600 Mustangs.
It was just craziness.
Steph, what were some your highlights?
Stephanie: Well, the car show was definitely epic this year.
We had a lot of guys who wanted to step up to make some clouds for our first ever burnout
competition.
My man in the New Edge busted out some donuts right there in the burnout box.
That was pretty sweet.
There was a muffler revving competition, and you can't forget the rematch between Project
Coyote and Project Grabberboost, where Grabberboost, once again, won.
Justin: I'd like to forget that actually.
Stephanie: The other thing that was pretty cool was how many people wanted to get some
AM ink from our free tattoo booth.
Justin: Yeah, that was really cool.
I mean, there was all kinds of crazy stuff going on.
The highlight for me,though, for sure, was getting to walk around and meet a lot of you
guys, shake some hands, take some pictures, and of course, running into Vaughn and Chip
again.
Those guys are just so awesome.
But it all kind of culminated up into the point where we gave away a 2014 MMD project
car, right?
The thing was on bags, supercharger, pretty much the coolest project car I think we've
ever built, right?
Stephanie: 551C.
Justin: There you go.
So Zack from Alice, Texas actually took it home, made his day.
But Chip made a lot of other people's day, as well, by announcing that he's coming back
to the 2015 American Muscle Mustang Show, and he's going to do it all over again.
Man: We're going to have a 2015 Mustang in the Ford booth at SEMA this year, and we're
going to give away a Foose MMD Mustang here next year.
2015 Mustang by Foose.
Justin: Well,guys, that's gonna do it for this last episode of Hot Lap here for 2014,
but 2015 is shaping up to be a crazy year for us
here at AmericanMuscle.com.
They're going to want to stay tuned.
Steph, what do they do?
Stephanie: Subscribe if you haven't done so already.
Justin: Boom, there it is.
Guys, we're out of here.
And
for all things Mustang --
