    Granatelli Motor Sports: A Legacy of Horsepower, Innovation & Family

    From the golden age of American muscle to today’s high-tech horsepower wars, the Granatelli name has been synonymous with innovation, performance, and a relentless passion for speed. In this episode, we explore the legacy of Granatelli Motor Sports, founded in 1989 by JR Granatelli, son of legendary automotive innovator Joe Granatelli. Building on a rich motorsports heritage, JR helped bridge the gap between classic muscle and modern performance, pioneering advancements in ignition systems, throttle bodies, electronic exhaust cutouts, high-output coil packs, and emissions-compliant engine technology. Now, the next generation is taking the wheel. Led by JoJo Granatelli, a fabricator, builder, and visionary in the digital era of motorsports, Granatelli Motor Sports continues to push boundaries, bringing together cutting-edge engineering, bold custom builds, modern muscle, and extreme turbocharged performance. Based in a state-of-the-art, 42,000-square-foot headquarters in Oxnard, California, Granatelli Motor Sports designs, engineers, tests, and builds performance products for racers, tuners, and enthusiasts who demand more from every horsepower. Join us as we dive into the stories, technology, people, and passion behind a family that has helped shape automotive history for generations. From the streets to the strip, the garage to the racetrack, this is more than a story about performance parts. It’s about family, heritage, innovation, and the never-ending pursuit of more power. Granatelli Motor Sports — Built on Legacy. Driven by Innovation. Fueled by Horsepower.

    Should We Modify OR Preserve This Low Mile 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra

    🚨 WOULD YOU MODIFY A PERFECT 1993 SVT COBRA? 🚨Only a handful of pristine 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobras remain like this—untouched, original, and completely unmolested by the aftermarket.But now we have a problem…🔥 Do we preserve this collector’s dream… or turn it into a street monster?This immaculate Vibrant Red Foxbody Cobra still wears its original parts, factory welds, tags, and low-mileage condition. It’s a genuine time capsule—and with Foxbody values climbing in the 2026 collector market, one irreversible modification could have a serious impact on its future value.But there’s another side to the argument…The factory 5.0L V8 made just 235 horsepower. By modern standards, that’s enough to get embarrassed by some modern family SUVs minivans. So is keeping it 100% stock really the best way to experience this legendary machine?In this episode, we present both side of the argument:🔧 THE MECHANIC: Preserve the Cobra exactly as Ford built it.🏁 THE OWNER: Make it faster, sharper, and drive the heck out of it.💰 THE BIG QUESTION: Can you have modern performance without destroying the car’s originality?We’ll examine high-end reversible upgrades, modern suspension and potential performance modifications—including stealthy upgrades that could transform the driving experience without permanently devaluing the car.Then comes the moment everything changes…Will the first wrench finally turn—or will this Cobra remain completely untouched?A Huge thank you to Matt - the owner of this stunning 1993 SVT Foxbody Mustang Cobra for sharing his cars story and thoughts/theories surround modifying this incredible car!

    Find The Blessing In Every Challenge - Nine Finger Wrenching

    Meet Josh — a cancer survivor, garage nut, tinkerer, and guy who believes there’s always something worth fixing, restoring, or bringing back to life. After surviving cancer, Josh learned to look at life a little differently. Every challenge became an opportunity, every setback a lesson, and every day another reason to make memories and enjoy the ride. Now, he’s bringing that outlook to the garage, the road, the lake, and everywhere in between. Alongside his family, Josh dives into all kinds of adventures — from revving up Sea-Doos and restoring classics like a ’91 Ford Mustang GT to attending car shows, hitting the races, spending days at the lake, and tackling whatever project rolls into the garage next. But this podcast isn’t just about cars, tools, and wrenching. It’s about family, friendship, perseverance, laughter, and making the most out of life. With plenty of grit, gumption, and heart, Josh and his family invite listeners along for the projects, the adventures, the unexpected challenges, and the memories made along the way. It’s not just about what gets built or restored — it’s about the people, stories, and moments that make the journey worth remembering.

    Whether You Think You Can, Or You Think You Can't, You're Right Either Way...

    In this episode, KASL Customs sits down with Foxcast Media and 417 Fox for a candid conversation about where they came from, the experiences that shaped them, and the entrepreneurial journeys that brought them to where they are today. We dive into their upbringings, backgrounds, challenges, and the aspirations that continue to drive them forward. From building businesses and creative brands to pursuing passions that started as dreams, this conversation offers an inside look at what it takes to turn an idea into something real. We also talk about the upcoming Ford Take Over Event, happening September 10th, 11th & 12th in Jackson, Tennessee, and what attendees can expect from the event, the automotive community, and the people bringing it all together. Most importantly, this episode is about betting on yourself. Foxcast Media and 417 Fox share insight, lessons, and encouragement for anyone who has a passion, a dream, or an idea they want to pursue — but may not know where to start. If you're an entrepreneur, automotive enthusiast, content creator, or simply someone chasing a bigger vision, this conversation is a reminder that your background doesn't have to define your future. Start where you are, stay committed to the vision, and keep chasing the dream.

    The Rise & Fall Of The 90's Mustang Forums 1995 - 2026

    From dial-up internet and servers sitting in a spare room to millions of page views, press credentials at the Detroit Auto Show, and special access press deals with Ford Motor Company— this is the story of the early days of online automotive media. In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Corral.net and MustangWorks.com to hear how it all began in the mid-1990s, when the internet was still in its infancy. We talk about what it was like to physically host and maintain servers from home while trying to keep up with millions of visits every month, the challenges of monetizing an automotive website before digital advertising was fully established, getting invited to major automotive events, working directly with Ford, and building an online Mustang community from the ground up. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the wild early days of the internet—and how a passion for Mustangs helped create something that was far ahead of its time.
