2015 Ford Mustang "Blown 8-Second Grocery-Getter" by Kelly Aiken

Kelly Aiken's 2015 Ford Mustang, christened the "Blown 8-Second Grocery-Getter," is a high-performance testament to the capabilities of the S550 platform. As a suspension expert with BMR Suspension, Aiken has transformed this Deep Impact Blue Mustang into a rolling testbed for developing cutting-edge components. The car boasts a potent VMP Tuning Gen 2 TVS supercharger, providing over 21 pounds of boost, and remains surprisingly stock with OEM Ford parts like the block and crankshaft. The underpinnings feature BMR's suspension components and a Strange Engineering Pro HD aluminum 9-inch differential housing to withstand the power. Despite its prowess on the drag strip, boasting a best pass of 8.99 seconds at 154 mph, it remains street-friendly, driven regularly in Florida. Aiken's relentless drive to push boundaries is further encapsulated by plans for a new engine from Livernois Motorsports, aiming for even greater horsepower.
