$2,000 Mustang GT Budget Build | Hot Lap

Stock 2006 S197 Transformation!

PAOLI, Pa. (April 30, 2019) – In this episode of AmericanMuscle’s Hot Lap YouTube series, Justin Dugan grabs the keys to a customer’s super-clean, low-mileage, Vapor Silver, 5-speed equipped, 2006 Mustang GT for a budget-style mini build. Keeping cost down doesn’t necessarily mean styling and performance have to suffer; so with that in mind, Justin selects some modest modifications from AM’s Mustang Exhaust, Intake, and Suspension categories before testing it out on the dyno and street.

“There was a time when I wanted to make my car cooler, louder and better overall but I didn’t always have the money needed for the bigger, fancier brands or more expensive modifications.  That’s why modifying this beautiful low-mileage S197 with more budget minded parts was a great idea in my book and one that hit close to home for me personally.”—Justin Dugan
