You'll notice the gutteral rumble.The first 100 miles in a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 only takes about an hour.Pretty simple math to figure out how fast it goes.But it's an easy equation when you're goosing this supercharged V-8.I've tried to wrangle the GT500 before, wrestling it like a modern day cowboy breaking a bull. Its power feels raw and unbridled.But unlike a steer, I'm not sure if the GT500 will ever be broken. It's the one Mustang I would never loan to a friend. They might not be able to handle it.And therein lies the fun of getting behind the wheel of the GT500. You never know if this cruise will be your last. If any car offered fear as the standard emotion, it would have to be one with a deadly snake on its grille.The GT500 puts you to work. When you put it through the paces, driving it hard into turns, opening it up on the highway, it requires your complete attention. When you hop in this car, tu | | By: Autos Space | | |

| LX-Prize: 1987 Ford Mustang Produces 400HP | | 2008-07-02 10:39:00 | | Doug Pelmear has lots of secrets beneath the hood of his black 1987 Ford Mustang on which the only outward hint of individuality is a series of stickers.But looks can be deceiving. Mr. Pelmear’s 21-year-old pony car has enough technological innovation to quadruple the classic Mustang’s original gas mileage while almost doubling its available horsepower.That’s 80 miles per gallon and 400 horsepower, folks. And the 48-year-old electronics engineer and master mechanic is not done yet.The third-generation automotive tinkerer hopes that next year his Mustang - more specifically its engine - will help him win the $10 million Progressive Automotive X Prize: a “race” to find an affordable, marketable automobile that gets at least 100 miles per gallon, or its equivalent.“I’m an optimist, and I think people need to know there is hope out there,” Mr. Pelmear said. “That’s why I decided to enter the X Prize race. I could have sold this [technology] off, but then people might no | | By: Autos Space | | |
| | 2010 Ford Mustang Seeking Smaller | | 2008-06-15 10:21:00 | | As the gas prices rapid growth, small is becoming the topic, anyone see driving a large car may be seen as a gas-guzzling hog, and the Ford Mustang is no exception.Ford's North American design director, Peter Horbury, recently told the Automotive News that "We have a car which I think is more suitable for the times than the Challenger and the Camaro...Especially the Challenger — it is a huge car when you see it on the road.”The next Mustang remains pretty much the same size as the current generation. Its width and length are virtually identical. The Challenger on the other hand is over ten inches longer than the current Mustang, but the Camaro concept is actually shorter than the Mustang. It's rumored that the next Mustang is going to get more fuel efficient powertrains as well such as the 3.5 liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6.

| | Track Lap: Ford Mustang FR500S | | 2008-06-14 05:14:00 | | Ford Racing's newest Ford Mustang FR500S racer is so turnkey, it comes with a window sticker. But it's not your average Monroney. For example, instead of options, it lists "Stuff It Doesn't Have." "Estimated annual champagne cost" replaces EPA numbers. And warranty coverage is described as "What, you expected five years/50,000 miles?" You can't say Dan Davis and the rest of the track rats at Ford Racing don't have a sense of humor.The conversion from Ford Mustang GT to FR500S is straightforward: Strip the car of about 300 lb of unnecessary street-car hardware, build in a full cage, give it a stiffer suspension, lowered right height, Borla exhaust system, single racing seat and six-point harness, adjustable shocks, an aggressive front splitter, a serious rear wing, an AIM instrument and data acquisition system, strut tower brace, and you're track ready. The rear and side quarter windows are made of lightweight Lexan. The 4.6L V-8 remains internally stock, but freer breathing on the inta | | By: Autoshows | | |

| Spycam: 2010 Ford Mustang | | 2008-06-07 01:33:00 | | The 2010Ford Mustang revamp has been subject to plenty of anticipation, and while we've seen some shots of the development mule before, we now have a closer look at the interior of Ford's upcoming pony car.While the center stack remains shrouded in camouflage, some other interior elements can be seen very clearly. For example, the instrument cluster now features white-faced gauges and the tachometer has swapped position on the right with the speedometer, versus the current setup. The four round air vents have been reworked, and two new rectangular air vents can be found at the very top of the center stack.The steering wheel is also new, retaining the current car's three "open-spoke" design (subtly revised in styling), but rearranging the multifunction setup with cruise control buttons on the left, and multimedia Sync interface buttons on the right. The wheel itself looks like it just may be a little chunkier than the current version as well. Some switchgear also appears to be new, and | | By: Autoshows | | |
| | 2009 Ford Mustang production estimated at just 45,000 units | | 2008-06-06 17:10:00 | | What's this? News about less Mustangs? Mustang guru Brad Barnett has learned that Mustang marketing manager Fritz Wilke estimates only 45,000 Mustangs will be produced for the 2009 model year. We don't know if the 45 is symbolic of the 45th anniversary of Ford's pony car, but it's significantly less than any other year the Mustang has been produced. In fact, it's only about half that of the 79,280 Mustangs produced in 1992, the current lowest tally, and far below the 134,626 'Stangs sold last year. We can see it now... Ford dealers marking up the rare 2009 Mustang. The most likely situation is that dealers will have trouble selling the remaining Mustangs as customers wait for the updated model in 2010, hopefully with a 5.0-liter V8.Thanks for the tip, Brad![Source: TheMustangSource.com] | | By: Car News | | |

The 2009 badge will appear only on the base model Ford Mustangs and be about 4 inches in height and width. The badges are rumored to made of lighter material in an effort to save weight on the already bloated 05+ Mustangs. Ok, I made that up.

| | | 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt VS 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 | | 2008-05-08 09:29:00 | | The rebirth of the American muscle car is about a lot more than retro. It's about pride. It's about recalling a time when Americans looked down the road to the future with confidence, and they wanted a great big V8 engine to get them there as soon as possible.It's no wonder the 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt has our respect. It's the best version yet of the 2005 Ford Mustang, the car that set Detroit on fire again with enthusiasm for good old American muscle.Maybe the fuel-guzzling muscle car won't save Detroit from the challenge to build cars that people need, but it's surely restored the domestic car industry's confidence in its ability to do so.And it's shown that Americans can build cars that are utterly unlike anything you'll find in Stuttgart, Shanghai, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur or any of those other places that economists think they're so clever to know about.Now that the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is here, Chrysler is cracking the seal on its own Mopar-branded can of muscle-car whoop-ass | | By: Autos Space | | |

| | Spied: 2010 Ford Mustang Coupe | | 2008-01-05 18:11:00 | | Just a few weeks ago, we brought you scintillating coverage on a 2010 Ford Mustang convertible that had so much garb covering everything that one would expect massive changes underneath. But what appears to be the case is a minor refresh that is nonetheless significant enough to have Ford Mustang aficionados all atwitter. Here’s what we can tell so far:As we saw on the ragtop, the pony car’s signature front end now features a much more reverse-angle cant to the upper grille, as well as a larger intake within the new lower bumper, à la the Shelby GT500.The headlamps are clearly highly detailed combination assemblies rather than simple circles, a change that conjures up memories of the unloved amoeba lights on the 996-generation Porsche 911, which were promptly returned to proper circles for the 997. Let’s hope it goes better for the Mustang.In back, revised taillamps appear to trisect the Mustang’s trademark vertical red blocks with clear-lens turn signals/reverse lights, which | | By: My Blog | | |

| | The new meaning of Ford Mustang GT500KR | | 2007-12-27 19:34:38 | | For four decades, the Ford Mustang GT500KR has been known as the “King of the Road”. But this spring, there might be a little confusion with the meaning of the name – as it prepares itself for a starring role in a remake of the hit TV series “Knight Rider”.According to Al Uzielli, a senior advisor to Ford Global Brand Entertainment, “It’s purely a coincidence and a nice one at that … Auto enthusiasts will know what KR stands for. But most viewers will probably think it means Knight Rider; at least at first.”Based from auto123.com, “Hasselhoff has retired his intelligent Tra ns-AM and leading role, though his characters long-lost son, Michael Tracer, now takes the wheel of the new KR model. Estimated output of the 40th Anniversary Edition car is 540 horsepower.”Well, the show is way for Ford to flaunt its innovative SYNC technology on TV – a good thing to any automaker, just as when they want to let the people know how good their Acura Integra air filter recharge | | By: Ford Parts for Ford Enthusiasts | | |

2. Consider a 1967 or 1968 Mustang for a more muscular look.
3. Find a fastback-style Mustang. These cars are somewhat rare, and are worth almost as much as the convertibles.
