as an engineer on the 350, watching your face while driving truly brings me joy Justin

That was a fun video. That stang looks good in that blue. Stephanie makes anything look good.

I thought I was watching BBC TOP GEAR, great show AM!

Whoever did the music for this vid really did their job. The subtle shift in music from the Steph's foxbody to the her new 2017 was really slick.

Big fan of both of you and great smiles with the GT350R. I have to admit I was envious. My daughter is a younger version of Stephanie and thinks it's great to see a girl getting down with her Mustang. My daughter is already getting my old 2011 convertible and it is already well modded out thanks to you guys. She is already hooked on Mustang's for life since we did the 50th Anniversary drive with Mustangs Across America, and wants to do a 65 with dad and have her daily be her 2011. Now I need to play catchup!

Stephanie is amazing she can do a lot for the car community also she can push more women to show off their car builds and tuning skills.

Wow American muscle and Justin best show up there with top gear and motor trend. Production top notch keep up the great work. Seems natural with Steph

I just got my 2017 premium GT performance pack in the same lightning blue!  This makes it look good but it truly is a color you have to see in person.  It is absolutely beautiful to see.  Just placed my first American muscle order to come!

Congrats on the car Steph. I just bought my 4th stang 3 weeks ago, a 96 cobra 81k miles and im modifying the crap out of it, its actually in the shop right now getting a tune. That GT350 is sick as hell, ford sure did their homework.

[TheSocialPraxis]

Awesome episode.
Felt the joy come out through the video of both Justin and Stephanie (got it right, hehe) driving both beasts. I still don't have one but that's no surprise as I'm on work leave so no extra $$ hanging around sadly. Anyway, this was cool ya'll! Congrat's on the new car Stephanie, it's freak'n awesome!

[XxMusclecarsxX]

The way she smiled mentioning the 3.31 I feel she's going to boost it

[AkronKid]

Awsome! Shouts out to Justin and Steph! Smiles when I see a video uploaded

[paultucker]

What a GREAT episode, thanks guys! Justin, I love the fact you just cannot hide your joy of driving that GT350! You guys are Mustang fans through and through! the Lightning Blue GT, congrats! Can't wait to see what mods you have planned. Keep up the great work :)

[blkstang]

Justin and Stephanie perfection. Great to see Justin!!!

[davidbelk]

Justin I am so jealous, Stephanie I am jealous as well, I can't wait till you modify! You guys always put a smile on my face. Also shout out to American muscle Support team you guys have given me the best customer service I ever have received. You guys are awesome!

[PhillyPhaithful]

I just bought a 2017 gt too and I'm in love with it

[SKrforalmost]

Love these high quality Top gear videos, and review styles. No other place i'd go for mustang parts

[SpyderRios]

Thanks Justin, I knew 99% of the info due to the massive amount of reading I've now done on the GT350. Either way, the video was excellent and worth watching. The lightning blue S550 looks awesome, congrats Stephanie.

[svtcobra.]

One of the best exhaust sounds I've ever heard on a Mustang. It's a beauty, but I still prefer the '00R in the looks department though!

[cstephenson]

I also agree Stephanie about the 3.31 gears! I love mine and my 2012 GT 6spd has the brembo pkg too but in 2012 adding different gears from the factory was a separate option! But when she's paid off soon I plan to save up for a procharger kit and then the 3.31 gears will be perfect and get better mpg too😁
