This Mustang Packs a Shelby GT350 Flat-Plane Crankshaft Engine, a Stick Shift Transmission, and 7-Second Time Slips!
Jeremy Howell’s clean Fox Mustang does sport the big and little wheel and tire combination. It does have an aluminum wing and parachute on the back.
It even has a cutout in the lower valance for the intercooler, and the fender exit exhaust.
But watch it make a pass, and realize quickly that it’s a stick-shift car! Then Jeremy will pop the hood after the run, and your senses will go numb.

The president of Fathouse Fabrications, Jeremy wanted a little something different for his Mustang build. So instead of a pushrod or Coyote Ford engine, he went straight for the Ford Voodoo engine platform.
Based around a dual-overhead cam V-8, the 5.2-liter uses a flat plane crankshaft as installed in Mustang Shelby GT-350 models starting in 2015.
Enhancing the modular engine is a 98 millimeter single turbocharger, backed by a T-56 manual transmission and a Ford 8.8-inch rear end.
Jeremy got ‘FlatFox’ together in time for Hot Rod Drag Week, where he completed his first drag-and-drive event with a 9.28 average and a top ten finish in the Super Street Small Block Power Adder class.
Since then, Jeremy has dipped into the 7.3-second range at 194 mph at last year’s World Cup Finals at Maryland International Raceway, and scored a win at the ModNationals in the Pro Stick Shift class.
Jeremy now has his sights set on the Stick Shift class at Sick Week. Could we see the world’s first 7-second average in Stick Shift?
Sick Week 2023 Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive will feature hundreds of America’s fastest street cars, racing and cruising through Florida and southern Georgia.
