Christmas Gifts: Any Mustang Mods?

Well Christmas is just right around the corner, does anyone have any Mustang mods on their Christmas list? I know I have a few, I plan on getting a K&N filter and a BBK throttle body for my 2004 SVT Mustang Cobra. It’s suppose to boost the horsepower up to around 40 horsepower or so. You never know, since each Mustang is different. I really wanted to get a nice set of headers, but they are pretty expensive and the labor price to install the headers isn’t cheap either. To juice things up and get us a little anxious, I posted a sweet picture of a highly modified Ford Mustang.

I’d Like to Wish Everyone a Happy Mustang Christmas

Well we’re about two days away from Christmas now, I thought I’d get ahead of the game by wishing all our readers a happy Mustang Christmas. I probably going to be pretty busy these next few days, have a lot of friends throwing parties and such. I figured if I don’t get on the Mustang blog in the next few days, I should just wish everyone a good Christmas now. And to celebrate things even more, I posted down below a Christmas Mustang tree. This is one hell of a custom Mustang huh? I hope this Mustang owner doesn’t drive his Mustang like that, lol.

Roush Performance Mustang Club

Well after building 16,000 high performance vehicles, Roush has finally decided to announce their own car club for owners and fans. This is not just a club for Mustangs, but it’s also a club for all the other high performance Roush cars they build. This is a good chance for Mustang fans to partake in something special. It’s always great to become part of something, I think this will be a lot of fun. Not all the details have been released about the car club yet, but Roush anticipates the yearly membership to cost around $35. Current ROEA members with valid membership proof will be offered membership into the new “club”. I really can’t wait, this sounds so exciting!

Pictures of the 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang “Eleanor”

These are my favorite pictures of the 1967 Shelby GT500, better known as Eleanor from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds. This is one of my dream cars, the looks of the custom Mustang are so unique and amazing, there’s nothing like it. A lot of companies are doing there own copies of Eleanor, such as Ronaele and even Shelby. Yeah the new Mustangs look good with the Eleanor body kit, but nothing beats the original 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang. The metal trim and and chrome that is on the 1967 GT500 is just more appealing to me. Nowadays everything is either plastic of fiber glass, it’s kind of tacky. It was great when everything was all metal and chrome. I just want to say that nothing beats the original 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang.

Mustang Ad: Strike a Blow for Originality

Ocassionaly I like posting old media stuff of the Ford Mustang from the 60s, 70s and 80s. It’s just plain cool, because you get to compare it to today’s media of the new Mustang. This one for instance is an ad of a boxing glove saying “Strike a blow for originality.” It’s kind of dull and all, but it’s still kind of cool. It kind of reminds me of the movie Rocky with Sylvester Stallone. It kind of symbolizes that the Mustang is rough and tough.

2010 Shelby GT500 Races 2010 Hennessey HPE550 Camaro

In this video you’ll see two muscle cars go at it, a 2010 Shelby GT500 races a 2010 Hennessey HPE500 Camaro. While I don’t think this is fair since the GT500 Mustang is a stock car and the 2010 Camaro has been modified by Hennessey, I still think it will be invaluably interesting. The Hennessey Camaro out dukes the Mustang by .3 seconds, that’s only in the 0-60mph race. Edmuds didn’t do a 1/4 mile test, but I’m pretty sure the Camaro would win. Overall I would still take the Shelby GT500 Mustang over the Hennessey Camaro.

Stock Custom Graphics on Ford Mustang

The next wave of customizing is actually coming from Ford themselves. Ford has just went full stream with a brand new website that allows you to customize your Mustang before your order it. This includes custom scratch resistant graphics from all typs of different designs and colors. The Vinyl graphics are not only scratch-resistant, but they are weatherproof and include a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. I bet a lot of Mustang fans are excited about this new feature Ford is providing us. I think Ford is really trying their best to improve the sales during these hard times, I think this is a really good idea.

Greg Biffle Ford Mustang GT500 at zMAX DRAGWAY

I was working out on my Treadmill today and came across Pinks All Out on the Speed Channel. They were at the 4 lane zMax Dragway in North Carolina. It was quite a treat, I got to see Greg Biffle’s Ford Mustang GT500 do a run on the new track. There was a lot of other muscle car action on the track too, got to see a Fox Body Mustang do one hell of a wheelie. I have to say I’m jealous of the N.C. natives, they have such a wonderful drag strip to go to. Over here in Detroit we have nothing, the closest dragstrip is in Milan, and that’s too long of a drive for me. The zMax Dragway is incredible, they have a camera that is capable of going 100mph down the track while recording you. You’re able to get video footage of your Mustang you wouldn’t be able to get on other drag strips. It was definitely cool to see zMax Dragway on Pinks.

Comparison between the 2010 Mustang, 2010 Camaro, and 2009 Challenger

Many Mustang fans and gear heads have been waiting for this muscle car comparison, a 2010 Mustang vs. 2010 Camaro SS vs. a 2009 Challenger. Editor Arthur St. Antoine of Motor Trend conducts the challenge, he goes into his likes and dislikes about each muscle car. To see what muscle car comes out on top, makes sure you watch the whole video. I’m hoping for the 2010 Ford Mustang.

SN-95 Ford Mustang Crash

This is one ghetto ass drag strip, looks like the Mustang was going over bumps when he was driving down the drag strip from the get go. At the end it looks like the driver makes too sharp of a turn and then hits a bump, just enough to tip over the Mustang. This horrible constructed drag strip is somewhere in the Caribbean, I hope they fixed the strip by now.
