The well-known tech behind the black S197 Ford Mustang has returned to the shop to give a nice shot of cold, dense air to a V6 Mustang. The AEM Brute Force Intake system takes the cool blast and turns it into proven power gains that almost anyone can bolt-on.  Our original StangNet.com write-up (with hi res images on demand) gives a real world overview and interpretation on how to perform the cold air kit installation on a 2007 Ford Mustang V6 coupe.  StangNet Staff member bigcat shows us just how it's done.

Continuing the countdown to the 2010 Mustang debut, Ford has decided to take the reins and give them a big tug.  Images of the upcoming Ford Mustang will be unlocked on the 2010 website as the countdown continues.  The most recent images help tell the same story as we've seen up until now, with newly designed rims, some sharper lines, touched up cues, and updates to the 2010 interior.  We will continue to feed the images and our reflections on them just as Ford releases the pictures weekly, so stay tuned during this exciting time leading up to the 2010 Ford Mustang!

After seeing more and more of the 2010 Mustang each day, we are glad to be able to show you some very revealing shots of the next Ford Mustang's interior.  The dash, cluster, and column were completely uncovered in these shots, showing us all there is to see in the upcoming Mustang.  The redesigned interior seems to keep several of the current S197 Mustang's components, but the main dash facade, center console, gauge cluster, and steering wheel have been updated to give a cleaner, more prestigious appearance to the pony car.  Don't worry, the updates don't take away from the ever-popular classic & retro feel of the Ford Mustang!  Take a look and see for yourself...

Up until now, the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) governance has kept the competition in the circuit limited to standard powertrains as they are produced in Detroit. After a paradigm shift, the NHRA has made the choice to allow the 2008 ROUSH supercharged 4.6L V8, which is commonly found under the hood of the Stage 3 Mustang and P-51A Mustang, into official NHRA competition.  This historic change is said to be the first where the NHRA has allowed any aftermarket powertrain to be able to compete. Check out more details in the official Press Release from ROUSH Peformance.

After showing you the 2010 Mustang GT and the 2010 Mustang GT convertible, we are really excited to show you some shots of the 2010 Shelby GT500 prototype.  The lastest prototypes of the updated Ford Mustang platform have been running around with heavy vinyl cladding, limiting the view until only recently, but this one that's been shot is only donning simple graphic tape.  We are able to get a good view of the next dose of venom in the pony car lineup!  It appears as though there are some touches to the grilles, headlight assembly, and what looks to be a series of new hood ducts to bring the cool air into the reputable GT500's supercharger.  Take a good look and see what you think!

Slowly but surely, the 2010 Mustang is shedding its padded wardrobe, becoming quite the exhibitionist.  Ford knows full well the swarm of automotive paparazzi lurking on the roadways, and some of the craftiest have caught the updated pony car yet again.  Shots like the one of the 2010 Mustang GT convertible are just what every Mustang enthusiast is hungry for, because they are the only morsels we have until the official LA Auto show debut of the updated S197 Mustang platform.

Well, we've seen it in pieces, under wraps, and parading around an open track.  Here is the 2010 Ford Mustang yet again, wearing an padded overcoat during a summer day on the streets.  Ford has carefully made sure to keep everyone peeking at the automotive nudity as well as exhibiting a plug for the 2010 promo site with lettering across the front glass.  Despite an almost full mummification, the body angles, bezels, and lamps are able to be seen quite well inside the five spy shots we have harvested for you.  Take a look and see what you think!  It is only about 75 days until the official debut, so these crumbs will have to tide us over.

After teasing Mustang fans everywhere with images of the updated 2010 Ford Mustang badge, Ford seems to have let a little more feline out of the bag with an incognito shot of what is supposed to be the 2010 Ford Mustang hood.  With its sharpened lines that we have seen in several spy shots, it certainly looks like this one could be it.  The LA show isn't that far away, so rest assured that StangNet.com will keep you posted on all the hype until the official debut!

Keeping close to the media montage related to the 2010 Ford Mustang, Ford has teamed up with Filmaka.com to get everyone involved in the creation of exciting content surrounding the epic Ford Mustang.  With a sampling of eight stories to start with or one of original touch, participants recently submitted their own transcripts for review in the contest.  Twenty winners will be chosen from the collection of submissions and will be provided with a decent production budget to produce their films.  After 9/16/2008, we will all know the winner of the video production contest, because he or she will be $5000 richer!

We know you're all chomping at the proverbial bit about the forthcoming details and debut of the new 2010 Ford Mustang...we are too!  Ford has decided to continue the tease with a release of the official Ford Mustang badge for the updated pony car.  With a sharper finish, progressive aim, and a sleeker steed, this badge is sure to match up with the updated Mustang platform quite nicely.  The chromed badge is destined to adorn the grilles of the V6 and GT versions of the Mustang.  Also, for the first time ever, the running horse will be offered in a black-chrome version on the new Ford Mustang GT grille!  Be sure to check out the official imagery and the official Press Release from Ford.

With the Ford Mustang racing season coming to a strong boil this summer, we wanted to take a moment and give you a snippet on some suspension tips and show you a potential alternative to solving the sogginess in the OEM suspension on the late model (2005 - 2009) Ford Mustang. Weight distribution, body roll, and ultimate maneuverability are three very important aspects of racing, be it on the strip or the road course. Ford commonly uses softer control arm bushings made of rubber, which provide some degree of comfort, but sacrifice forward and aft support greatly. When the bind placed on the control arms reaches a peak point, the result is often instantaneous: handling is reduced and performance suffers. Replacing the OEM control arms is a great way to stiffen up control and maintain sure-footedness on the track or while prowling the street. Keep reading to learn more about our latest featured part from J&M: Street/Race Lower Control Arms.

Following the footsteps of several prior reputable automakers, Ford has decided to create a new website counting down to the launch of the 2010 Ford Mustang.  Lots of PR has floated around the 'Net regarding the two latest contenders in the ring (the Challenger and forthcoming Camaro), so Ford must have thought it prudent to remind everyone of the legendary Ford Mustang: a car which has never lost popularity or disappeared from the marketplace, despite adversity.
