Vaughn Gittin Jr. burst onto the Mustang aftermarket scene at the 2009 SEMA Show with the debut of the carbon fiber Mustang RTR-C. While the car was certainly impressive, it wasn’t really something that Gittin could market to the public thanks to its $135,000 price tag. Of course, that’s where the Mustang RTR comes in. Featuring an attractive body kit and graphics package, gorgeous 19-inch wheels and a few performance items Ford Racing, the Mustang RTR represented a relatively affordable turnkey tuning package that could be purchased and serviced at authorized Ford dealerships.

On paper the 2013 Mustang Boss 302 may not look like it’s much different than the 2012 model, and in all honesty it’s the truth. The exterior design has been tweaked, the graphics package changed, and a few options have been added to the interior. Even so, out of all the 2013 Mustang lineup the Boss 302 sets itself apart visually the most of any model from the previous year. This was no more evident when we had the opportunity to check out a School Bus Yellow Boss 302 at Galpin Ford this past week. [Read more...]
At first the comparison might seem like a strange one. The Mustang is a V6 300hp heavyweight. On the other hand, Subaru’s BRZ is a feather light, 200 hp scalpel on wheels. At their core though, they’re both through-and-through sports cars that offer an accessible amount of performance through wildly different philosophies. Through that lens, putting them both on a California canyon road suddenly makes a lot more sense.

Despite having a more-than-respectable 305 horsepower and 280 lb-ft torque from the factory, V6-powered Mustangs don’t get quite as much respect as their V8 siblings. The aftermarket especially doesn’t give much love to the Mustang V6, with companies mainly producing parts for the 5.0L V8, and performance shops generally use the Mustang GT as their base for project cars. Even so, we can always appreciate when someone takes the performance plunge on two less cylinders.

A Year ago today, much of the Southeastern United States was devastated with a severe weather event that rewrote the history books, but what happens when said event passes through your area and takes out your garage full of Mustangs? You build them back. Especially one of the rarest offerings from SVT, a 2000 Cobra R, the 33rd out of 300 built.
Check out our forum to check out the status of this car after a year. Full article coming in the near future.

Sometimes it can take months for a product to come to market after it’s initially shown to the public, but that’s not the case for Shelby’s latest Mustang. After debuting the 950 horsepower 2012 Shelby 1000 at the New York Auto Show earlier this month, the company is already hard at work building the first customer car at their facility in Las Vegas, NV. The vehicle shown is actually a Shelby 1000 S/C, a track-only version of the car that is rated at an incredible 1,100 horsepower thanks to longtube headers, race fuel and increased boost from the massive 3.6L Kenne Bell supercharger.
