Unless you've been living under a rock for this past week, you're well aware of the onslaught of Ford Mustang packages recently announced by Shelby Automobiles.  Several packages to upgrade the first generation S197 (2005 through 2009) Mustangs and announcement of the 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake (pictured above) were detailed to the public just a few days ago.  All of the new Shelby packages can be applied to the Mustang GT, Shelby GT, and the Shelby GT500 pony cars currently in ownership circulation.  Ready for the laundry list of Shelby applications?  Brace yourselves; this might be just a bit much.  There is almost a half-dozen new Ford Mustang combinations based upon Mustangs people already own.  C'mon, Shelby...a twist on the old adage (you can get too much of a good thing) might come to fruition here and end up with a dreaded backfire.  Commercialism and marketing of something artistic and unique is a good thing...until it becomes overly common.

It doesn't come as a shock to announce that the 2010 Ford Mustang comes with a glass roof, offering up sun soakers the chance to take it all in while cruising in their favorite Legendary pony car. Aside from shielding passengers and the interior from about 90% of the (harmful) ultra-violet rays inbound, the glass does much more. It also insulates the cabin while providing a great panoramic view, further reducing the amount of energy required by the air conditioning system to keep the car comfortable. Additionally, the glass roof on the Ford Mustang insulates the cabin from a substantial amount of noise pollution, vibration, and harshness. This revolutionary offering from Ford for the Mustang is available for both the V6 and GT models and holds a sticker price of $1,995.

Some of the early birds who snagged up the first productions of the 2010 Ford Mustang weren't able to take advantage of what's now a hot offering straight from the Ford Racing parts closet. The recently announced Track Pack for the Ford Mustang is just another way Ford is making sure to keep the Legend alive amidst all of the chaos that is the global automotive marketplace. The golden 2010 Mustang (pictured) which won the Ford Racing Invitational this weekend past was actually equipped with a healthy collection of the Ford Racing Track Pack's functional parts as well as a functional shaker hood. In addition to this offering by Ford Racing, there's also the FR3 Handling Pack that includes a setup providing a one inch lower ride height, stiffer springs, tightened sway bars, and re-tuned dampers for a crisp and aggressive ride. Both of these new offerings from Ford Racing are designed to fit both the GT and V6 Mustang trims. Keep reading to get all the gritty details in the official Press Release.

Recently, we've shown a lot of great ways to exercise the 2010 Ford Mustang wheel and tire package in fine style.  Vaughn Gittin and ROUSH have shown some fantastic displays of some tire-thrashing goodness.  If you haven't had the chance to swing by your local Ford dealership and pick up a new 2010 Mustang, you now have the chance to get your hands on something straight from the parts closet.  NewTakeOff.com has just released their all new 2010 Mustang GT 18" spoked wheel and tire package.  These wheel sets, adorned with Pirelli 235/50ZR18 Pzero Nero tires, are a guaranteed fit for 2005 through 2010 Mustangs and add a great touch of flair.  Keep reading to get the full scoop in the official press release from NewTakeOff.

Two aftermarket performance legends, Chip Foose & Magnaflow Performance Exhaust, have teamed up to produce a "Foosified" 2010 Ford Mustang GT, which was recently featured on an episode of SpikeTV's MuscleCar.  This modified Mustang features an Edelbrock supercharger setup, a Roush body kit, Magnaflow exhaust, Foose wheels, Pirelli tires, Baer brakes, Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, and a paint scheme a la Chip Foose.  Sound good?  It gets better!  They are going to give the car away to some lucky fan this October.  Head over to PowerBlockTV.com where you can submit an entry to win this Foose Mustang once per week.  Keep reading to get a closer look at this aftermarket Mustang masterpiece.

With all the focus upon efficiency and safety these days, some might think the new Ford Mustang (a sports car known to all) might not have the best track record when it comes to safety and passenger protection. Think again. The stiffened platform and multiple updates to the 2010 Ford Mustang make for a package of power as well as safety. Yeah, yeah "safe"...somewhat subjective until a reputable metric is applied. How about a fiver-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association for front and side collisions as well as rollover performance? With the Mustang putting up stats like this, Ford is able to push ahead of the pack with the leading number of five-star rated vehicles in the fleet. Be sure to watch the videos and make sure to check out the official scoop in the Press Release.

We know one thing for sure as Ford Mustang enthusiasts: where there's smoke, there's tire.  After witnessing the 2010 Ford Mustang set the drifting distance record, we knew it wouldn't be long until an aftermarket player showed us just what a modified 2010 Mustang can do.  Enter ROUSH Performance and the Roush 427R Mustang.  This tweaked 2010 pony car has the full package it takes to get heads to turn both inside and outside the car.  If you haven't caught a good 2010 Mustang burnout video, then you are certainly in for a treat.  Sit tight, crank up the sound, and hold on for this 2010 Roush 427R Mustang burnout video!

When it comes to the Ford Mustang and its faithful fan following, there are always great stories and memories involved. We've seen the 2010 Mustang given away to one of our Armed Services personnel. We've seen some great video productions in a recent Ford video contest. We've witnessed firsthand how a Shelby GT500 changed the way people think about Mustang modification. There is one recent unique story we'd like to share at this point: how a blind man got the chance of a lifetime when he won a (spirited) test drive in a brand new 2010 Mustang convertible. Roger Keeney had always dreamed of driving a new Ford Mustang, but since being blinded in 1990, he hasn't quite had the chance to do so, let alone drive any car.
