The crew at Steeda Autosports has come up with another slick appearance and performance modification for the 2010 Ford Mustang.  In addition to direct fitment on the 2010 Mustang GT, this bold new front splitter integrates perfectly with the 2005 – 2009 Steeda front fascia.  In addition to the road-hugging stance the front splitter adds, the aerodynamic improvement while at speed is quite measurable as well.  Keep reading to get the full scoop in the Press Release.

It’s not every day we get “good” news.  It’s not every day we see large corporations truly care about those they serve.  It’s far easier for an automotive junkie to remain skeptical in times of new enthusiast cars like the 2010 Ford Mustang & and the 2010 Taurus SHO entering the scene when the skies are black with doom and gloom.  Then again, if we step back with a fresh perspective and really approach something with the hope of learning, we might just see there are some people out there sincerely trying (and succeeding) to make a difference.

We stumbled onto a personal reflection about Ford Motor Company and how they were perceived…and how they are perceived now.  Take a look and read for yourself.

Earlier this summer, we showed you one of the sexiest aftermarket late-model Ford Mustangs presented to date: the 2009 1/2 Lee Iacocca 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang.  The gallery and Press Release material we showed you before just didn’t seem to do the trick for some folks.  They wanted more.  Video.  Well, we stumbled on the solution to that problem.  Iacocca and company have ponied up to produce a 45th anniversary Mustang music video set in scenic SoCal with Old Blue Eyes (Frank Sinatra) supplying the lyrical notes.  The video of the Iacocca Anniversary Edition Mustang also includes soem spirited driving, hand brake usage, and a few females giving the car a double-take.  Enjoy!

These days, every automobile manufacturer is under the gun to do more with less, maintain a viable cost structure, fend off the competition, and well, stay solvent in rough economic times.  Ford, under the of leadership savvy business people like Alan Mulally, has been making progressive moves before the economy started to slide.  Once upon a time, we heard rumors about the EcoBoost power plant potentially making it into the 2010 Ford Mustang or perhaps even in 2011.  Some speculated the twin-turbo six cylinder EcoBoost was a total rumor.  Well, as you know, the latter group is dead wrong.  Ford’s R&D technology has come full-circle with the engineering wrapped up inside the “EcoBoost Revolution”.  Sounds interesting, right?  Ford has the EcoBoost as a card to play in today’s high stakes game of automotive poker.  Is it a card worth playing or folding?  Keep reading, and find out for yourself.

Just days ago, Ford launched a slick little customization tool for the 2010 Mustang and so far, we’ve deemed a great time-killer site!  With a plethora of choices in hoods, louvers, scoops, spoilers, grilles, wheels, stripes, and other exterior applique, the potential customized Mustang outcomes are quite numerous.  What we also found interesting was a key aftermarket player is already a part of this initial phase of the customization tool: ROUSH Performance has an array of their body parts available for Mustang fans to virtually slap onto their dream car.  We gave the site a spin and came up with one of our very own.    If you’re feeling click happy,  head over to Ford and check out the StangNet 2010 Ford Mustang customization gallery and create your own customized pony car.
