2024 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback

The story

Five seventeen. Work is over. Take the long way home. A modern V8 street car for someone who drives to an office and still cares about the drive back. No burnout, no blacked out everything, no track cosplay on a car that will never see a track. APEX VS-5RS in brushed clear, nineteen by ten square at ET40, on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S at 285 all round. Square, not staggered, on a rear drive car, because the point is balance rather than a wide rear tyre for the photograph. Ford Performance's own track springs drop it an inch on the factory struts and bars. Then the part that decides whether this build is honest. The Borla is an Active cat-back, which means the factory Active Exhaust valves keep working. The car stays quiet leaving a neighbourhood at seven in the morning and is loud when you ask it to be. A fixed loud exhaust on a daily driver is a decision you regret on the fourth day. The body is untouched.
