There’s no such thing as boring battles when it comes to street racing. Generally, those who tend to compete feel they’ve got enough goods under the hood to put on a show. The latest race we’ve stumbled on is a showdown between a 900-horsepower turbo Fox-body Saleen Mustang and The Racing Channel’s own 850-horsepower 2JC Nissan 240SX.
I’m a sucker for Fox-bodies, especially survivor cars that are saved from the grave and brought back to life. Sure there were a ton of Fox-bodies made, but there were also a heap of early Camaros made as well, and what was once considered a plentiful muscle car has slowly evaporated into a hard-to-find hot […] More »
As we told you last month, Matt Farah from The Smoking Tire recently bought a decommissioned California Highway Patrol Mustang 5.0.

Sometimes, simple is best. Drama-free relationships. Jameson whiskey and ice. Classic, conservative clothing. Matt Farah seems to be of the same opinion. He recently purchased a 1988 Ford Mustang 5.0 notchback that used to served as a pursuit vehicle in the California Highway Patrol with 33,187 questionable miles. No power windows, locks or mirrors… there’s not […] More »
Little is know about this nitrous-huffing small-block Ford (SBF) powered Fox-body other than it’s here to roll heads. Seriously, in a day and age of Coyote and even GM LS swaps it’s nice to see some good ol’ SBF power getting it done at the track. True, he doesn’t win every race in the video, […] More »
