Is there anything better than hot Mustangs? Of course there is: hot Mustangs with hot bikini models! It’s a tried and true combination, perfected over the years. Like chocolate and peanut butter, Tom & Jerry, or Tim Tebow and victory.

And since it’s such a classic combo, we can’t believe we didn’t post this sooner. But hey, we’re not perfect. Okay? I know this probably comes as somewhat of a shock to you, as all you’ve ever gotten from your trusty Mustang Source editors has been our utmost best, but every now and then something slips through the cracks. This just happens to be a very large crack.

We have no explanation as to why we waited a month to bring your attention to the AmericanMuscle.com 2012 AM Girls Calendar. For this we are eternally sorry. As an attempt to make it up to you, after the jump, we’re posting this highly informative behind the scenes video of the photo shoot.

Also, bear in mind, it’s not 2012 yet, so you and Miss January can still spend the entire month together if you act fast. Head on over to American Muscle to order yours now!

The NHTSA announced in August that they were launching an investigation into a variety of complaints over the 6-speed MT-82 manual transmission in the 2011/2012 Ford Mustang, with which Ford Motor Company replied that they would cooperate fully. Now, thanks in part to Ford’s response to the investigation, the NHTSA has ended their investigation.

In response to the investigation, Ford had issued their thoughts on the complaints about the 6-speed manual transmission found in the Mustang GT and Mustang Boss 302, addressing each of the major complaints with an explanation and their fix for the problem. [Read more...]

OK, I guess it’s only fair to say combining a deer and a Mustang could be worse. For example, the deer could be real, and the merger could have occurred on a dark road at highway speeds. That said, this is pretty bad.  via Autoholics

The Swiss might be all precise when they make watches and stuff, but apparently not so much when they drive American muscle cars.

Our buddies at BangShift are speculating the 24-year-old driver of this 5.0 Stang mixed up first and reverse–but I honestly have no clue what happened here. Regardless of the cause, the dude crashed through a parking garage wall and plummeted three stories to the street, hitting a tree on the way down. A falling section of concrete also took out a row of parked scooters, but somehow the driver, and everyone else, escaped without serious injury.

I’m really at a loss to explain this… I mean, how fast do you have to be going to totally Kool Aid Man through a wall like that? Or do the Swiss just make super-flimsy walls? We may never know.

Tomorrow beginning at 10am PST, The Mustang Source will be down for maintence/migration in which our new owners are going to be moving the site over to their hardware. (if you missed the part about new owners, see here: http://forums.themustangsource.com/f…es-tms-501950/ )

The expected downtime is scheduled for 2 hours, but with anything technology wise, there is the possibility of it being longer.

What does this mean for you the user, well, not much other than the TMS forums, home page, app, and other resources available here will be unavailable. All previous data and other aspects of the site will be stored though so nothing will be lost.

2013 Mustang Cobra Jet

Article courtesy of MustangsDaily.com, your source for all the latest Ford Mustang news and articles

Since its victorious introduction at the NHRA Winternationals in 1968, Ford’s Cobra Jet Mustang has created a legacy of power, performance and triumph. That legacy was renewed in 2008 when Ford Racing offered a limited run of the 40th Anniversary Cobra Jet Mustang which quickly sold out. Subsequent 2010 and 2012 model year offerings of the Cobra Jet have proved just as popular. [Read more...]

The Ford Mustang Boss 302 is all about performance, and a nod to heritage comes standard with new paint options and design details for 2013.

A new hockey stick graphic featuring reflective stripes is added to the new Boss, calling back the 1970 Boss 302. 2013 Boss 302 and Boss Laguna Seca models feature new School Bus Yellow paint, honoring Parnelli Jones’ 1970 Trans-Am championship car prepared by Bud Moore.

“Everything we did for 2013 is consistent with and links directly back to our 1970 heritage. The reflective stripes and hockey stick graphic in particular mean something to Mustang enthusiasts,” said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. “Last year, we proved the car had what it takes to perform, and this year we focused on enhancing its eye-catching looks and celebrating its history.”

Ford Mustang delivers more performance inside the cabin, thanks to new technologies and features for the 2013 model year aimed at making the drive even more fun.

“Mustang stays fresh by keeping pace with everything going on in the tech world,” said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. “We are taking all the technology people are used to using and finding ways to integrate it into Mustang, based on enthusiasts’ feedback.”

An available new 4.2-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) productivity screen positioned between the tachometer and speedometer helps customers track information related to fuel economy and vehicle performance. The menu is navigated through a five-way button on the steering wheel.

Unique to Mustang’s productivity screen is Track Apps, which delivers performance metrics for drivers who want to put their car to the test at the track.

Yup thats right, you heard us. Ford is producing the GT500 again for 2013, but this time with 650hp and a top speed of 200+mph.

“SVT keeps the Shelby GT500 on the cutting edge of technology and takes muscle car performance to new heights,” said Jost Capito, director of Global Performance Vehicles and Motorsport Business Development. “We encapsulated every aspect of performance in this car – whether it’s 0-60, top speed, racetrack or quarter-mile times. Beyond that, the daily driver also will find this car perfectly fits his or her needs.”

The 5.8-liter V8 aluminum-block engine produces 650 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful production V8 in the world. The 3,850-pound car also stays exempt from the gas-guzzler tax.
