2010 Chevrolet Camaro Production Increase

Occassionaly I like posting news about other cars on my Mustang blog, see I’m an auto enthusiast who likes all types of cars.

The latest news is that GM will be increasing production on four of their vehicles, one in particular is the 2010 Camaro, the Mustang’s opponent. With the demand of the Camaro being so high, GM thought it would make sense to capitalize on the situation. This is great news for factory workers in Ontario, the third shift is to be added real soon.

Lee Iacocca Mustang

If you love sleekness and style, well look no futher than the Lee Iacocca Mustang. This thing is so sweet and sleek. I truly have never seen a Mustang with these kind of features. If you check out the thing in motion, it looks like a silver bullet. It kind of reminds me of the space craft from the movie “Flight of Navigator.” But does this sports car have respectable handing, power and control? Many auto enthusiasts that have driven it will tell you it does. Over on Auto Blog they have given it a decent rating, saying it has “plenty of power, the brakes are strong, the ride is decent and the handling is respectable, thanks in part to the standard Ford Racing Handling Pack that includes upgraded shocks and springs.” But for the price you pay, it is questionable. The first 45 is said to have a price tag around $60k. Maybe the price will go down after the first group of Iacocca Mustangs are sold.

Ford Mustang to win Championship Titles

It’s said that the Ford Mustang muscle car was born to race, well it has been doing just that for 2009. The 2009 race season is proving to be an awesome year for the Ford Mustang. The Mustang has already won two series championships and is positioned to possibly win a bunch of other titles. Here’s some other races to look forward to: NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Funny Car Series, SCCA Speed World Challenge GT Series, and Formula Drift Professional Drifting Championship Series.

Road Runner Mustang

The rumors flying around the web is that the 2012 Shelby GT500 will be getting a twin turbocharged 5.0L engine. Ford might be code naming it the “Road Runner” Mustang. If you’re familiar with previous Mustang news, you might remember the rumor that the 5.0 liter engine will be code named the Coyote. So this all sounds right doesn’t it? Coyote, Road Runner, everybody knows the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons. If Ford is going this way with their Mustangs, they get two thumbs up from me!

2010 FR500CJ Mustang doing a Wheelie

Ford Racing engineers have been fulling around with the FR500CJ Mustang to make it meaner. Back in 2008 the Cobra Jet Mustang had around 425 horsepower, but after seeing this video from Norwalk strip in Ohio, this Mustang has gotten a big upgrade. In the video the Mustang does a huge as wheelie, you definitely have to check it out. I guess we’ll find out what kind of mods the FR500CJ has at the SEMA show in November.

Carroll Shelby made Mustang with 1,000 Horsepower

Yet again, Carroll Shelby has a new limited edition Mustang coming out, this time it’s packing a big punch. How does a twin turbocharged engine with 1,000 horsepower sound to you? It seems like all these companies are trying to outdue themselves every year, but I’ve never heard of a 1,000 horsepower Mustang, that’s truly amazing. Can’t wait to see it!

Sneak Peek at the 2010 Steeda Q Mustang

It truly seems like Steeda is dragging their feet with the new Q Series Mustangs. But I’m pretty confident that Steeda is taking their time with designing their Mustangs. I mean no other car has won more races than Steeda performance enhanced Mustangs.

2000 Cobra R Mustang

This upcoming October there will be a 2000 SVT Cobra R on sale at the Barrett-Jackson car show. The Ford Motor Company are the owners and are the one’s who are putting it up on the auction block. The Mustang has a build number #002, it’s the second Cobra R to be built by Ford, making it very valuable. It’s not said how many miles are on the car, but Ford Racing used it for several months as a pace car for various events. If you’re not familiar with the 2000 SVT Cobra R, it’s a muscle car that features a 5.4 liter 32 valve engine with 385 horsepower. It’s a beast of a car. Other Mustangs going up on sale at Barrett-Jackson include a 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Prudhomme edition concept and Lot #3000 a 2009 Iacocca 45th anniversary #005.

New 300hp V6 Engine for Mustang

The new 2011 Ford Mustang base model is to get an upgrade, it will not be referred to as a 6 banger anymore. Although it will still have a V6 under the hood, enthusiasts will not be dissing it no more. The new V6 that will be underneath the hood will be putting out 300+ horsepower. Good news for V8 fans also, it’s said the new V8 will be pumping out around 400hp to hang with the new Camaro. All is exciting and I can’t wait for the future!

2010 Ford Mustang Saleen

The new Saleen Mustang has a new look and a new name. The new manufacturer has changed its name from Saleen Inc. to Saleen Performance. The sweet new Saleen will be shown at this years SEMA show, the 2010 S281 will still have the same name, but it will be sporting a redesigned car. I attached a rear picture of the Saleen Mustang to give you sneak peak of what it’s to look like. From the photo you’ll notice a lengthened spoiler, restyled diffuser and squared-off exhaust tips. I really like’em, it definitely adds to the bulkiness a muscle car should be showing. I expect this to be one sweet car when it comes out!
