This couldn't have come at a more perfect time in social media history. 
Our latest project officially begins at a Ford dealership in Northern Virginia. A low-mileage 2012 Mustang GT is now in the sole ownership of Grassroots Motorsports and on it’s way to becoming a competitor in SCCA Classic American Muscle and Street Touring Pony autocross competition, as well as Optima Ultimate Street Car competitions.
Our first stop after leaving the dealership was to visit our pal Kevin Adolf for some dyno time. Right off the showroom floor we were impressed. With the ink barely dry on the contracts, we laid down 377hp at the wheels. Kevin is an expert Coyote engine tuner himself and says those numbers are a great place to start, but with some simple bolt-ons and a tune we can make well over 400 at the wheels.

Perfect timing.
Agreed. Be sure to trailer it. Of course, it may fly off the trailer when you leave the event, even if tied down well.

A sidebar about how to safely leave C&C in a Mustang would make a nice addition to the build series.

You guys nailed it from 3 months out. Well played, GRM, well played.
I'm more interested to see how you make it handle versus increasing the power, even though power increases get more attention.

I have a '14 Mustang GT and honestly, this car does not need more power for street driving and autox. Mine will spin well into third gear.
I know it's a magazine car and all but making it turn and stop is much more interesting to me than bolting on headers, cold air intake and a new tune.
Coyote FTW but handling much more so
Is this a Brembo or Track Pack car?
