If you’ve been following our 2012 Boss 302, you know that we’ve been doing what many Boss owners dare to do… use the car for what it was built for! Most Mustang junkies will know that one of the coolest features on the car was the fact that it came with factory side-exit exhaust. We loved the idea… and when we added over 60 horsepower and 69 torque to our stock Boss with some upgrades, we were really sad to see it go. We had to do something about this!

Originally we had added Kooks Long Tube Headers & Matching Off-Road X-Pipe, L&M Throttle Body, JLT Cold Air Intake and Bama Performance Custom Tuner. This woke the car up and we were really happy with the results at the track, on the dyno and on the street. The car sounded great, but we really missed our factory side-exit feature. Our friends over at Kooks Custom Headers were quick to respond with a brand new Off-Road H-Pipe that ties into the stock side-exit exhaust.

So what do you think? Does this sound insane? Or does it sound or what? Head over to the Forum and sound off!

Mustangs, like many other sports cars, have rear seats that are mainly there for moral support. It’s cramped enough to give anybody a case of claustrophobia.

Kids can fare well back there, but in a few short years, they’ll rather ride in mom’s minivan where they can stretch their legs a bit.

So what to do with a futile rear seat? Simply omitting it isn’t a good option as it will leave a gaping hole that will make your ‘Stang look like it’s undergoing an interior renovation. K-Dezines, out of Arizona, offers a creative solution that deletes the rear seat and is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing.

At the SEMA Show back in November Roush wowed us by unveiling the Stage 3 Premier Edition Mustang featuring unique Sherwin-Williams Planet Color paints. The limited edition pony car is perhaps the flashiest yet to come from Roush, with paint names Blue Bayou, Gold Rush, Liquid Copper and Red Blooded American. The prototype at the show featured a brilliant orange called Mat It Mango with Sin City Silver graphics, and it made us curious as to what the other colors would look like. We’re now getting a glimpse, as Roush has posted a few photos of the Premier Edition Mustangs being assembled at the factory showcasing colors like Mean Green, Performance Pearl, Black Diamond and Luminescent Lime.

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.

2013 Mustang Cobra Jet

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...]
