MOSS MUSCLE SIGNS ON FOR SPONSORSHIP IN 2012
With decades of experience in the automotive aftermarket, Moss Muscle is one of the nations premier suppliers of performance, styling, and restoration parts for late model Mustangs. With a staff of performance enthusiasts, huge warehouses in California and Virginia, and most orders shipping the same day, Moss understands the needs of the hobby. And with their Virginia warehouse just 20 minutes away from Performance Autosport, a partnership between the two just seemed to make sense.
Having Moss just right down the road means a few things for PAS:
First, Moss has signed on as a sponsor for the Performance Autosport Mustang RTR American Iron Racecar for the 2012 Race Season. The #4 AI car will be wearing the Moss Muscle logo proudly to help show the world that Moss is serious about the Mustang. Moss’ local Director of Mustang Sales and good friend of PAS, Mark Evans, daily drives a 2011 Mustang GT when he’s not driving around one of the several shop cars. He’s a Mustang guy for sure and understands the market. PAS is looking forward to working with this company and all the guys at Moss.
Secondly, Moss will be using Performance Autosport as an official installation shop for all Moss Muscle products, as well as all the Moss brands. Not only will PAS be installing parts for Moss Muscle customers we will also be helping Moss in product development, testing, as well as sales. We will be their feature shop for Mustang parts and will be doing write ups for their website, magazines, and tech projects.
PAS is looking forward to this partnership as it will help both of us deliver new products with tested results to our customers at competitive pricing. PAS alone can’t house the millions of parts that Moss can, but being right down the street means we are open to a whole new level of customer service!

Our brand new 2012 GT Shop car has been pushed aside long enough in effort to keep up with the massive demand to our customers. We know that customers come first so if we have to wait a little bit to get to play with our own car, then so be it. But we finally got a little time to throw some parts on the car, so here comes an update.
Yesterday our bone stock 2012 GT got a little bit of a change in a few different areas. First were the wheels. We chose to install a set of RTR 19×9.5′s wrapped with Falken FK452. With the current stance it’s not too impressive, but the car will be getting its new suspension on our next round of mods.
Before it left the shop it also got its big brakes up front which are StopTech 6-piston calipers with 15″ (380mm) two-piece cross-drilled rotors. Stainless steel lines, Motul 660 brake fluid, and a fresh flush and this car is going to STOP! Can’t wait to test it on the street when it finally stops raining here or at the track this season.
Lastly we installed a set of our prototype mufflers we’ve been working on. Should be something we will have to offer in a month or so as pricing has not been set. We will be supplying video clips of all sorts to give potential customers a solid idea of what it sounds like on their 2011+ 5.0L!
Keep checking back as we’ll be installing suspension next!
Thanks,

Performance Autosport is proud to announce a new suspension vendor for all it’s Mustang customers from years of ’64-’70 and ’79 thru ’12. CorteX Precision Racing Technology suspension systems are now available for purchase AND install through PAS.
Because the status quo was not good enough, CorteX Precision Racing Technology was born.
CorteX Racing began with a pursuit of products we wanted on our own cars. When no one in this industry offered what we were after, we went out and engineered it ourselves. Our passion is to provide best-in-class, optimized, professional caliber motorsports parts to the enthusiast and professional.
Our goal is to create automotive parts that will outperform all others at an excellent value.
Vintage suspension systems:
S197 suspension systems:
Performance Autosport will be running a CorteX fully adjustable Watts Link on the rear of their 2011 Mustang GT American Iron car for the 2012 race season. We are excited to have a partner to reliably deliver a great product with a lot of engineering and testing behind it. The Watts-link will be going on the racecar in the next few months before our first race in mid February so expect updates with install photos and feedback from the track!
Our website is in the middle of being updated to display the full line of CorteX products so if you are interested in hearing more, placing and order, or getting something installed give us a call at the shop – 804.358.2505.

Performance Autosport just recently sold it’s one-of-a-kind 2011 Saleen S302 #18 shop car…
…and moved onto another car that we could use as a test bed for parts development.
A brand spankin new 2012 Mustang GT.
We are just getting started with this car as we’ve had it for only a couple of days, but we are slowly building the plans for this new project car. The overall idea is to test new suspension parts PAS is developing to be an affordable alternative to some other parts currently available without risking ride quality or most important, performance. A new brake package will also be tested on this car as well as few other things here and there. We haven’t really nailed down all the pieces and parts, but we’ll keep everyone updated as we make progress.
This car will be seeing track time during NASA events throughout 2012 not only for testing, but to show customers what the car is like. You’ll be able to find it close to Cobetto’s S302R in the paddock for sure.
We threw the car on the dyno today for a baseline dyno. With under 200miles on it and still with the dealership’s 87 octane in the tank it churned out 373whp/359wtq. We’ll update this once the 87oct is burned out of the tank and replaced with 93.
