"Vengeance" Gregory Kiser

My name is Gregory Kiser and this is my 2016 Shelby GT350. Current mods include a Vengeance clutch, MGW shifter, Calimer Racing upgrades to Tremec transmission, American Racing long tube headers, JLT CAI, JLT catch can, High Performance tune, and ESS supercharger coming soon.

Previous to the Shelby, I owned a 2024 Mustang GT and a 1993 GT passed between brothers who took turns modding it. Other than the Shelby name, my preference of analog gauges over digital was one deciding factor in trading the 24 GT for the Shelby.

This car was bought with the intentions of driving!

"LYT2LYT" Shawn Canfield

Some people remember their first car. I remember the one that never really left me. In 1984, at just 15 years old, I bought my first Mustang for $500 - a 1969 Mustang coupe that was far from perfect. I drove it home sitting on a milk crate because the interior had been removed and the bumpers were riding in the trunk. The original 289 High Output had been replaced with a 351 Cleveland, and, to me, it was the greatest car in the world. That Mustang carried me through most of my teenage years until, like many young drivers, an accident ended our time together. I sold the car, but I never stopped regretting it. Through the years, I owned many other vehicles, yet none ever replaced the feeling that old Mustang gave me. After more than 35 years later, raising three children and helping each of them get behind the wheel, I realized it was finally time to own another. While watching my kids develop the same passion for Fords and Mustangs that I had, and one building a successful career in the automotive industry, I knew it was time. More importantly, it gave us the chance to build memories together around a car we both loved.

That journey led me to a used 2015 Mustang GT Premium that I proudly named LYT_2_LYT. What started as a simple project quickly became a labor of love. The first phase focused on performance and appearance with new wheels and tires, an ESS G3 supercharger, Cervini’s exterior components, suspension upgrades, and fuel system improvements. The following year brought an even more ambitious second phase, including a battery relocation, custom catch can and coolant tank, intake and exhaust upgrades, audio and interior enhancements, PCM and fuse box relocation, a complete Fore fuel system, and an E85 conversion with a smaller supercharger pulley. Every modification tells part of the story, but the car represents something much greater than horsepower or parts. It symbolizes a lifelong passion that began with a worn-out 1969 coupe, disappeared for decades, and ultimately came full circle through family, perseverance, and a love for the Mustang that has only grown stronger with time.
