Marc Violette's 2006 Ford Mustang GT

Marc Violette's 2006 Ford Mustang GT

Great White North GT.

Marc Violette's history with Mustangs goes way back to the 1970s. He grew up in a Ford family, so it was only right for him to go on to own several Mustangs. He started out with a 1989 Mustang GT, but a career and family took precedent, which put his Mustang hobby on hold for a few years. In May 2011, he purchased this 2006 Mustang GT, and had DaSilva Racing add a Hurst shifter, Ford Performance 3.73 gears, a MagnaFlow exhaust, an Axle Exchange aluminum driveshaft, Brembo brakes with Baer slotted rotors, and a custom SCT 91-octane tune by Matt Dasilva. Further mods include a JLT Performance cold air intake, a Ford Performance intake manifold and twin 62mm throttle-body, Comp Stage 3 cams, Livernois Motorsports CNC-ported heads, a Moroso oil pan, ARP head studs, a Melling Performance oil pump, BBK Performance long-tube headers with a high-flow catted X-pipe, Motive Gear 3.90 gears, and a variety of suspension upgrades from Ford Performance, Steeda Autosports, Maximum Motorsports, and the like. With all the performance upgrades, the little Three-Valve produces 387 hp at the rear wheels.
