San Diego Vacation 012
Mustang Source member NC07GTCS just got back from an awesome road trip from Pt Cabrillo in San Diego to old Bisbee, Arizona in his 2007 Mustang GT/CS Convertible. He covered Route 66 and also  Extraterrestrial Highway in Nevada. Man, I would love to cover the same distance in my 2007 GT! See more pics in this thread!

wrecked2009Mustang
Just three weeks ago MustangSource member fivepointgo was broadsided in his 2009 Mustang GT. The car went into a concrete pole and was totalled. However, it kept our driver safe and he walked away with just a few bruises. So what did he do? Replaced it with a brand new 5.0! Check it out after the jump and you can read the full thread here.

JBA Dominator Widebody Mustang: Video Inside

JBADominator
When the editors of Road & Track Magazine invited JBA to their High Speed Shootout back in 1989, little did they know that it would spawn the creation of one of the most legendary Fox-bodies of all time, the JBA Dominator Widebody car!
After a confirmed invite to the event, JBA contacted FoMoCo for help and a new ’89 LX hatch was selected. It was obviously lighter than a GT and although heavier than an LX coupe, it had better aerodynamic numbers.
What then ensued was all-out insanity, as what’s claimed to be the first IRS in a Fox Mustang was installed along with the, now infamous all steel widebody fenders, the massive wheels, Recaro seats and even a Capri bubble-back hatch to help with down-force at the planned high speeds. The Capri hatch was later replaced with the current wing. [Read more...]

Lopey Idle With The Push Of A Button: Video Inside

Picture 3
Call me a techno-nerd, but I find it incredibly cool that the Coyote engines have so much cam-timing adjustability that an experienced tuner can make your 5.0 lope like an old school big block with the wave of a mouse. That’s right, by simply changing the cam timing your Coyote can go from idling like glass to a choppy idle more akin to big cams.

MustangWagon-4
The guys at Bangshift were stumped about this when thing this appeared on eBay last year. Well, it’s back again, with the same pics. Apparently Jack Fett was a guy from Jersey who built lots of custom cars back in the day. The seller says, “This car represents a tremendous amount of time and imagination by one of the greatest custom car guys out there.” Ok, I’ll take your word for that… Check it out on eBay

First 2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca Listed for $145,000

Boss302
And $145,00 is a price drop. The price was originally set at $189,000 but when it was listed on eBay, it was only bid up to $66,000. The plaque on the intake manifold states that this is car “MP 001,” making it the first 2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca. It was originally owned by Ford’s marketing department, who used it for product photography. But then it ended up in the press fleet, where it racked up a very hard 4,190 miles.

Trust me, I’ve driven press muscle cars and they are thrashed. So I’m gonna pass on this one. If you want it, I bet they’d be willing to drop the price even more.

SN95 Cobra Coyote Swap From Latemodelrestoration.com: Part II

LateModelRestoCoyoteSwap
Ford really hit a home run with the Coyote motor and as time goes on they’re only going to get more popular for swaps, especially if Ford offers a Smog-legal swap kit *nudge nudge Ford! Although an emissions friendly example doesn’t exist yet, we have plenty to be thankful for, like the different Coyote crate motors available from Ford and the Control Pack that makes wiring up the wicked motor a simple affair.

Watch a Fox Body Mustang Get Humiliated By Postman Pat

Postman Pat is a popular animated British kid’s TV show featuring Pat and his little postal truck. Well, some crazy Brit decided to build a drag car based on Pat’s truck and on his first time at the track, he humiliated an unsuspecting Mustang. Fox Body Stangs are popular drag racing cars for their low weight, but the Ford was clearly outmatched by this toy-like drag car capable of running 12s. [Read more...]

Evolution Performance 2013 GT500 First To Run 8′s: Video Inside

8SecGT500

There’s no way around it, the 2013 GT500 is a BEAST! With 662hp stock, it’s a solid platform to build upon and Evolution Performance certainly used it to make one bad ride. How bad? Try 1156hp and 1058 lb-ft out of a relatively simple combo. All that thrust moves the 3734-pound (with driver) Mustang to a new record of 8.94 @ 159 mph. [Read more...]
