While custom cars have long been a passion for many consumers, the level of complexity and sophistication in the automotive industry has increasingly made it more difficult for individuals to perform wholesale modifications to their vehicles. Becoming a trusted partner in the Roush Performance family will allow Ford City’s Performance Division to provide customers with on-site custom builds, after
market performance parts to give stock vehicles an edge, or even help restore that hot rod that’s been in the garage for years. With Roush accessories and custom graphics also available, Ford City’s Performance Division is a one-stop source for taking any vehicle to the next level. Whether it’s a new cold-air intake to improve horsepower or customizing the suspension to bring that horsepower through the tightest curve with ease, Ford City’s state-of-the-art Performance Division is sure to deliver maximum performance for any Ford vehicle. According to Performance Division Manager, Todd Barrowman, “Our technicians are definitely gearheads, so bringing that same passion and expertise for their own vehicles directly to our customers was a no-brainer.”
The Performance Division can provide customization to stock F150’s or Mustangs ranging from items such as shift knobs and exhaust systems to suspension upgrades and complete performance packages. The Performance Division Lead Technician Jared Fournier and his team have already been hard at work building FCP727 Mustangs equipped with the Roush Phase 2 Supercharger, boosting horsepower from 435 to 727! In addition to the increase in power, other upgrades include Roush axle back exhaust, Eibach lowering springs, black out emblems, hood graphics and window tint. It's an affordable package that can be included in the financing when purchasing the vehicle. While Mustangs and F150’s are the primary focus of the Performance Division, they are always open to discussing customization with any of their customers. They are also proud to offer an inventory of late model, specialty Mustangs, modified Mustangs, and Roush and Shelby Mustangs. Todd Barrowman, has been with Worden Martin since 1993, rising through the ranks from washing cars to sales management to managing the new Performance Division. He was bit by muscle-car bug at an early age, helping his father refurbish and sell older cars. He still enjoys his passion for being around cars, especially fast cars. Jared Fournier is the lead tech in the Performance Division and has been with Champaign Ford City for over 14 years. Jared has an extensive back ground in high-performance Mustangs. In his spare time, Jared can often be found at Coles County Dragway racing his own 1987 Fox-body Mustang.
