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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Ford is keeping the drool flowing freely this week by feeding us some serious, solid eye candy, featuring additional photos of the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 just announced last Friday (this is anchor to the blog from 8/13).  The 5.0-liter (302ci) power plant has already made its triumphant return to the scene and this car simply capitalizes upon it, forcing the train full steam ahead.

Check out our gallery and enjoy these latest shots of the Ford Mustang Boss 302.  We know we will!

There’s something to be said about being first to market; you get the choice of all the best fruits (of your labor) and it shows just how much dedication and time went behind the scenes in the creation of a new product.  ProCharger is absolutely no stranger to forced induction and now, they’ve done it again with their kit for the 2011 Mustang GT equipped with the 5.0-liter V8.  These new complete systems have been designed with one thing in mind: miles of smiles for Mustang fans everywhere.  The die-hard ProCharger P-1SC-1 supercharger unit produces 7psi of boost, utilizes an air-to-air intercooler, and adds up to 140+ horsepower on high-quality pump gasoline.  That’s simply…awesome!
