CDC shaker hoods for 2010 and 2011 Ford Mustang

 Sep 4th 2010
Filed Under: 2010 Mustang, 2011 Mustang, Aftermarket

The Ford Mustang has never been a stranger to aftermarket treatment and the latest renditions of the legend are no exception to the norm.  Classic Design Concepts, one of the forerunners in the automotive tailoring industry, has just recently taken the bubble wrap two new Shaker hood systems for both the 2010 and 2011 V6 and GT Ford Mustangs.  The goal here?  Provide just that extra bit of style and panache every owner wants, but maintain quality, form, and function all the while.

These Shaker hood systems are tried and true, keeping the Mustang coupe and Mustang GT up to par in quality, as CDC has spent numerous hours in R&D on these kits over the past several years on the first generation of S197 Ford Mustang.

2011 Ford Mustang GT vs 2011 BMW M3 Coupe

 Aug 24th 2010
Filed Under: 2011 Mustang

The fine folks over at Motor Trend have taken it upon themselves to make a comparison we (Ford Mustang fans) can really sink our teeth into. In past model years, none have ever seriously considered a comparison between the Ford Mustang and the BMW M3. It never really made sense, as Ford’s finest simply just wasn’t enough to match up to a formidable competitor across the pond.

Until now.

As faithful followers of the 2011 Ford Mustang, we all know just how exciting this year has been. We’ve witnessed incredible power (300hp) & efficiency (35+ mpg) produced from the base Mustang couple AND the return of the legendary 5.0-liter power plant back on the scene. Yesterday, we confirmed the new 5.ooohh will be supercharged in at least 3 flavors, straight from the pages of the Ford Racing catalog. Today, we’re here to show you a stellar review & head to head between the 2011 Ford Mustang and the BMW M3.

Head over to Motor Trend for the rest of the story–it is a GOOD one!

Ford Racing releases new 5.0-liter supercharger for the Mustang

 Aug 23rd 2010
Filed Under: 2011 Mustang, Aftermarket, Ford

What’s cooler than getting seat time in the 2011 Ford Mustang GT?  Getting seat time in a Ford Racing supercharged 2011 Mustang GT, that’s what!  Over the weekend at the rain-soaked Woodward Dream Cruise, the folks at Ford Racing took the wraps off an exciting news bite for us all to drool over–a 2.3-liter Whipple twin-screw supercharger kit, set to bolster the pony car’s power level to 525hp / 470tq.  Coupled with the blower is a set of 47lb/hr injectors and an air to liquid intercooler setup.  What’s more, the whole thing comes blessed by Ford with a 12-month, 12,000 mile warranty (when installed by an official Ford or Lincoln dealership).

Sound good?  Keep reading.

2011 Ford Mustang graphics & configurator

 Aug 19th 2010
Filed Under: 2011 Mustang, Ford

Back in June, Ford launched a slick custom graphics site for the all-new 2011 Ford Fiesta and now, the clever marketeers have repeated the affair for the hot, new 2011 Ford Mustang.  This configurator website over at FordVehicles.com allows for a sizable amount of combos to be designed in order to appease most any Mustang fan’s preferences.  Users Riders can pick from a myriad of stripes, accents, tribal decals, and even some complete overlays.  With most of the packages just south of the $300 mark, it’s not a huge bank-breaker to tweak the 2011 Mustang and have it be set apart from the rest of the herd on the streets.

So…ready to do some shopping and tailoring?  If so, head on over to Ford and make it happen!

Filed Under: 2011 Mustang, Aftermarket

We’ve shown you a few aftermarket companies and their intake/induction offerings for the 2011 Ford Mustang these past few weeks, so now, here’s a change in gears.  Kooks has developed and released a new, complete exhaust system for the reborn 5.0 Mustang.  Their partnered development with Ford Motorsports has resulted in a perfect-fitting header and exhaust package designed to grab innocent bystanders by the ears…and is sure to turn some heads.  Sure, the new system promises great sound, but what about performance?  Kooks has it covered.  Internal dyno testing has shown consistent increases over 45hp and 4o ft-lbs of torque.  This is a great start down the road of milking more from the Mustang, for sure!  Be sure to check out all the technical detail in the Press Release from Kooks!

It’s Back: 2012 Mustang Boss 302

 Aug 13th 2010
Filed Under: 2012 Mustang, Ford

This year has to be one of the most exciting ever to be a Ford Mustang fan.  Why?  The legendary 5.0 has made its return, for starters.  The base Mustang coupe pumps out over 300hp with insane fuel economy metrics.  Now, we can focus our eyes upon one more fantastic Ford news bite: the 2012 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 is a reality!  We’d hinted at the return of a BOSS when we saw the BOSS 302R Mustang variant released & figured Ford was doing some initial viral marketing to test the waters.  So, here we are, looking down the barrel and we’ve got the 2012 BOSS Mustang in our sights.  This is simply awesome!

Virtually ever single vehicle system has been upgraded to legendary BOSS performance standards.  The engine, brakes, suspension, interior, exterior–the whole package has been geared up with one thing in mind: track performance & domination.  Not since 1968 have we seen Ford get this pumped up about a track terror and road machine, all wrapped into the same package.  We’ve gotta say, it’s been well worth the wait.
