Each year the Mustang becomes faster thanks to Mike&#8217;s background in performance suspension fabrication at his company <a href=\"https:\/\/mikemaierinc.com\/\">Mike Maier Inc<\/a> in Livermore, California. The Mustang originally came with a 289 ci Windsor V8 however now holds a Roush Yates Nationwide Nascar crate engine. The high-revving 357 ci V8 makes 750 horsepower and 580 lb-ft of torque through a four-barrel carburetor and features a dry-sump system. The Mustang rides on Mike&#8217;s custom suspension that he has been tweaking over the years. The rear features a rocker arm 3-link rear suspension. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ktIp78ImPRI\" frameborder=\"0\"
