Ringbrothers improved handling thanks to a Roadster Shop FAST TRACK Stage 3 chassis. It features a fully independent suspension with Penske Racing RS Edition coilovers and Baer six-piston calipers and 14-inch rotors on each corner.

Ringbrothers widened and lengthened the Mach 1 body two inches and lowered the rear quarters. They fabricated a new floor and transmission funnel. Everything is coated in Roscoe Blue (MB 760.30) paint. The hood, taillight panel, and rear diffuser are made from carbon fiber while the rear bumper and seat backs are made from billet aluminum.
