# Matt Farah Drops by Hoonigan With His Fox Body Mustang

[Matt Farah](<https://www.instagram.com/thesmokingtire>) is the host of *The Smoking Tire* YouTube channel where he produces his well-known *One Take* series, host of *The Smoking Tire* podcast, and [host of */DRIVE on NBC Sports*](<https://www.thedrive.com/drive-nbc-sports/15132/heres-what-youll-see-whats-on-drive-on-nbc-sports-this-season>) along with Mike Spinelli, Alex Roy, and Chris Harris. He recently stopped by Hoonigan's Donut Garage for an episode of its series [*Daily Transmission*](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/13642/hoonigan-gives-you-a-daily-fix>).

He has visited Hoonigan in the past as he was one of the first guests of its sister series [*A BREW WITH*](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX871sTdtkM>). If you have been following Farah you will know he has had a long-term project of creating his perfect canyon carver in the form of a Fox Body Mustang and he brought it with him to the Donut Garage. The car is a third generation 1988 Ford Mustang. In a previous life, it was a highway patrol car from 1988 to 1994.

The Mustang is powered by a 350 horsepower crate motor. Its chassis was built by Maximum Motorsports. It features independent rear suspension from a 2004 Mustang Cobra as well as custom Bilstein shocks, and most importantly a cup holder from a Mercedes G-Wagon. Farah's Mustang also has a set of HRE Wheels wrapped in 295 section Michelin Sport Cup 2 rubber to help with the canyon-carving grip.

Hoonigan is known for some of its vehicles being in a bad state and undrivable. Co-founder Brian Scotto is an inside joke on its *Is it Brian's? Does it run?* video series. So Farah tells the Hoonigan guys that "Having a car that just works is glorious."

Farah knows what he's getting into bringing a car to the Hoonigan Donut Garage—donuts or burnouts are required. He is up to the challenge, but with his Mustang's wheels being wrapped in grippy Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires, water would be needed. He rips a solid burnout for a car with that much grip.
