Terry Reeves 2011 Mustang GT 5.0
What better way to start off 2011 then with a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0! This month we have the 2011 5.0 belonging to Terry Reeves. With Vortech power at only 8.75 psi and a Jon Lund tune, this car has already broken into the 10s with a best E.T. to date of a 10.81 @ 128.6 mph with a 1.73 60 foot time. This car has been featured on Stang TV several times along with a recent feature in the Race Pages. This car has also seen ink in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords and 5.0 Magazine. Lets take a closer look at Terry's 5.0.....
Terry works at Beechmont Ford in Cincinnati, so you know it wasn't long before he got hold of a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0. Modifications soon followed which include Stainless Works 1 7/8 primary pipe long tube headers with an off-road x-pipe, 3.55 gears, and of course the first Vortech supercharger for the new 5.0. With only 8.75lbs of boost and a Jon Lund tune, the Vortech powered 5.0 put down 528 rwhp and 448 rwtq.
But all that power needs to hit the pavement, so Terry also upgraded the rear suspension with cobra jet drag springs, Team Z upper and lower control arms, a detroit locker with 3.55 gears, and some Racestar wheels wrapped with Mickey Thompson 28X12.50X15 ET Street tires. While the car does have an Axle Exchange 4 inch aluminum driveshaft, Terry runs 10s with the completely stock automatic transmission with the stock converter. This thing sounds like a beast going down the track! Listen to this:
So running 10s at the track means you have to have a roll bar. Terry chose a custom 6 point roll bar from K&M Welding & Chassis Fabrication. Check out the pictures below, it looks very clean and love the color to:

Future Plans:
2010 was a good year for Terry in the NMRA. While only attending two events, he did make it to the 1/4 finals at Zmax, and won the JDM Super Stang class at the world finals held at Beach Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, KY.
For the 2011 season, a new motor is being built with 10 to 1 compression, diamond pistons, manley rods, jpc heads, cams, and fore fuel system with a 2010 fuel tank. Terry will be sticking with the stock auto and 3.55 gear combo however. Terry's goal is to compete in the heat in the 10.20-10.40 range consistently and dip into the 9.90s in the cool fall air.
Terry will run the entire NMRA points race for 2011. Good luck Terry!

About Terry, in his own words:
My name is Beefcake (aka Terry). In case you are wondering, I do not own a hamburger joint.
I am the top car salesman at the largest Ford dealership in Cincinnati, Beechmont Ford. I used to own a Diet and Sport Supplement Store and spent 10 years with General Nutrition Centers too.
I am a very big Cartman fan. (South Park for those of you who are lost in the dark ages). I do an excellent Cartman impersonation , especially at 2am while drunk!
Anyway, when an episode of South Park came out with Cartman drinking Weight Gainer 4000, He spent the whole episode running around yelling Beefcake!!!!!
Being as I workout a lot, and from when I used to own a supplement store where I sold weight gainers, and I run around talking like Cartman, my friends nicknamed me Beefcake. That is where the name comes from. See the resemblance!
