Wauconda, IL -- Kenny Brown unloaded the his latest creation, the GT-4T Mustang dubbed "Mango Tango" at the 2011 SEMA trade show in Las Vegas where it was featured in the Dynapack Dyno booth. During an interview at the show, Kenny stated the reason he named his latest creation Mango Tango is because “It takes two to tango, and Mango Tango with two turbochargers, tangos very well.”

The official industry unveiling was a huge success garnering accolades from attendees and media alike, and showing that Kenny Brown is indeed back and better than ever. The SEMA show provided the opportunity for Kenny and crew to re-connect with many former friends, dealers, installers and warehouse distributors.
Wallace Leyshon, CEO of Heidts Automotive was on hand and commented, "Kenny Brown and Heidts have formed a strategic alliance, and while Heidts is manufacturing Kenny Brown products under license, we are one cohesive group with Kenny leading the way in engineering. As a now well-oiled machine we are really starting to see our potential and look forward to a bright future".
News of the combination created significant buzz as many were just learning that Kenny is now leading the engineering and new product development team for both brands. The partnership is being referred to as a "mega chassis and suspension manufacturing & development company". According to Brown, “Our new product pipeline for both the Kenny Brown and Heidts brands is deep and rich. We have products in the works that will lead the segment in technology and performance.” As the news spread throughout the show, the Kenny Brown team was inundated with questions and comments regarding the new partnership.
Another highlight of the show was the Kenny Brown sponsored, Tiger Racing GTS championship-winning 2011 Mustang Boss 302S race car driven by Paul Brown who delivered a dominating performance in the Pirelli World Challenge. Paul’s Championship Winning BOSS 302S was on display in the Eibach booth, and served all year as a development "mule" for Kenny’s GT-4 AGS suspension now available for 2005 – 2012 Mustangs. Paul declared the GT-4 suspension “The best strut suspension I have ever driven.” Paul’s crew chief Adam Cox candidly commented that when they tested the GT-4 suspension on Paul’s BOSS 302S – “It handled by far the best with that suspension, it never worked as good after we took the Kenny Brown parts off.” Note: Paul was so fast in the early stages of the season, SCCA made him take all the Kenny Brown parts off to try and slow him down. Paul's championship-winning effort further solidified Kenny's return to the market and showcased just how good his suspension and technology is.
