Bold Moves: New Ford site to keep 2010 Mustang fans updated with countdown, contest |
Aug 19, 2008 - 4:44 PM - by David Burkart
|
The Challenger and Camaro have both received numerous magazine cover spots and feature articles while the 2009 Mustang has remained relatively unnoticed. Of course, that’s because everyone’s focused on the release of the facelifted 2010 Mustang.
So, to give pony car fans the attention they deserve, Ford has developed a website that will prove to be drool-worthy for anticipators and speculators alike: the2010mustang.com. Visit the site, watch the gripping intro, note the flashy countdown clock in the bottom corner, and come back.
The site will be used to keep enthusiasts updated with the latest news regarding the 2010 Mustang. But with a gang of spy photos and videos already having leaked, what else can the folks in Dearborn do to keep us on edge?
Well, the site... [Read More]

Roush Performance offers Cold Air Intake Kit for 2005-2008 4.6L Ford Mustangs |
Aug 18, 2008 - 3:32 PM - by David Burkart
|
It’s always tough to settle with the horsepower one’s Stang has at any given time, and the folks at Roush Performance understand that. That’s why they’re offering a Cold Air Intake Kit to help enthusiasts with ROUSHcharged 2005-2008 4.6L Mustangs squeeze out another 15 horsepower. That would bring the total power output to 460 horses—sweet.
The kit includes one ROUSH reusable air filter, an air dam, ROUSH PCM calibration and an induction tube.
A standard air intake unit leaves plenty of potential power untouched, whereas the cold air induction system utilizes that latent potential for a much more efficient and powerful use of the intake system. The Air Dam prevents hot air from reaching the engine compartment, providing for a cooler, more dense, thus more powerful air charge.
The included air filter is composed of a synthetic nano-fiber material that catches small dirt particles nearly twice as effectively as typical cotton-based filters. These filters are also 100% washable and... [Read More]

Ford releases official specs and photos for the 2009 Mustang |
Aug 11, 2008 - 10:07 AM - by David Burkart
|
While it hasn’t nearly been the subject of as much speculation and hype as its 2010 counterpart, the 45th Anniversary 2009 Ford Mustang is now in the spotlight. Ford recently released official details and specs for next year’s moderately anticipated pony car, and though the perks are pale in comparison to the new Mustang style to be released in 2010, our satisfaction with the 2009 model can be described with two words: glass roof.
Yes, next year’s model boasts three roof choices that will take this S197 body out in style. “Our new panoramic glass roof will allow owners to enjoy the outdoors year-round from the comfort of their Mustang,” says Derrick Kuzak, group vice president for Global Product Development. “It’s one more feature that sets Mustang apart from the competition.”
They’ve held down the title of best-selling sports car for 22 years, and aren’t about to give it up. Ford will release new editions of it Warriors in Pink Mustangs and add an additional 3,000... [Read More]

Rick Bombard's 1971 Grabber Green Mach 1 Ford Mustang |
Aug 18, 2008 - 4:20 PM - by David Burkart
|
Rick Bombard’s classic has been around the block. Several times. But you wouldn’t know it.
He purchased his 1971 Mach 1 Mustang at Summer Carlisle in 1994, and all 14 years since, its eccentric Grabber Green coat has continued to stick out on the road more than most new sports cars.
Beneath the hood sits an M-code 351C 4V Cleveland and a C6 automatic. Unfortunately, his 3.25 trac-loc is long gone and has since been replaced with a “cheesy” 2.79 open rear that he claims... [Read More]

Jake Morris' 1967 Ford Mustang coupe |
Aug 06, 2008 - 6:32 AM - by David Burkart
|
The first car is always a big purchase. Jake Morris wasn’t expecting much—like most kids, he was looking for a Honda to tinker with and get his feet wet with mods. Several weeks into his car search during freshman year of high school in 2007, however, he stumbled across a 1967 Mustang coupe. The search was over.
“Once I saw the first picture of this Mustang, I knew I had to have it,” says Morris.
His family lived in Huntsville, Alabama, about two hours from the Mustang in Birmingham. So, he and his father took a... [Read More]

Timothy Blount's GT-R concept Ford Mustang |
Jul 25, 2008 - 7:34 AM - by David Burkart
|
For years, the conventional method of attaining one's dream car has included a back-breaking job, a new savings account and a dreadfully hot summer. But every once in awhile, a select few enthusiasts have managed to trounce the system and access the shortcut to their ponified passion—including Timothy Blount.
Several years ago, Blount got into racing games, namely Project Gotham Racing and Forza Motorsport. Then, he saw the fateful TV commercial that would prompt him to first download the demo version of Race Driver: GRID... [Read More]
