Fans of the Ford Mustang are going to get one seriously exciting opportunity come this Fall: the opportunity for a weekend of nothing but sanctioned grudge racing on NHRA and SCCA courses.  Positioned, near Omaha, Nebraska, the Mid America Motorplex will host Midwest Mustang Madness -- a full weekend of clinics, racing, and showing off in a Ford Mustang.  Several StangNet Staff members will be in attendance at this coastal midpoint event, so we hope to see you there!

Continuing to provide race tech for the S197 Ford Mustang in our illustrated write-up series, the StangNet crew hopes that every late model Ford Mustang drag fan can enjoy our contributions.  In this latest installation, StangNet Staff member DarkFireGT shows us how to eat up some rubber while avoiding a thrashing on the rear brakes.  A PMP Line Lock kit does the trick and allows the Ford Mustang to put on a show in the driveway and heat up the rear tires at the track.  Take a closer look inside, with a video and lots of hi res images available in full detail.

Two of the most prominent names with respect to the Ford Mustang aftermarket are put to the test in this shoot-out video compilation.  The S197 Mustangs in this clip are a 2008 Roush 427R and a 2008 Saleen S281--both formidable competitors.  Take a good look at the sweet video of these two at the track competing in such events as the 0-100-0, the slalom, and the road course.  Who will be the winner?  You'll have to watch to find out!

To mark off a 20 year celebration of massaging the Ford Mustang, Steeda is happier than ever to be in the aftermarket enthusiast market.  Steeda is continuing to grow and expand with their new Valdosta, Georgia facility.  The 20 year celebration will be held at the convention center and the South Georgia Motorsport park.  StangNet is going to get a sneak peek at the new facility at the debut, so when we get more intel, you'll hear the first straight from the source.

The well-known black S197 Ford Mustang has returned to the shop to get another suspension upgrade.  This time, the rear suspension is the area of focus.  This J&M Upper Control Arm (UCA) will eliminate the unwanted control arm flex and also has the ability to change & correct the pinion angle on a lowered car.  Our original StangNet.com write-up (with hi res images on demand) gives a real world overview and interpretation on how to perform the UCA installation on a 2005 Ford Mustang GT.  StangNet Staff member bigcat shows us just how it's done.

The latest results for the Roush sponsored Rehagen Racing team show some promising results, with the No. 59 and No. 60 finishing in the top 10 at Daytona Beach.  For some time, it seemed as though the Ford Mustangs would take spots 1 and 2, but some faulty communications during a late pit stop caused both cars some crucial time losses.  These losses would prove to be detrimental to the two Roush racers, but would still leave them finishing with decent points standing.

Back for another S197 Ford Mustang technical write-up, the StangNet crew hopes that every late model Ford Mustang drag fan can enjoy these awesome tech and instructions on how to make it happen.  StangNet Staff member DarkFireGT paves the way for some great weight reduction at the track with the Lightweight Radiator Support / sway bar delete tehcnical illustration.  Take a closer look inside, with the hi res images available in full detail.

The persistent paparazzi lead so many trends, and the legend of the Ford Mustang is not one to be left alone.  Just this week, the 2010 Ford Mustang has been snapped under wraps by the folks at Priddy & Co.  From what we can tell, it appears to hold pretty strongly to the current S197 Ford Mustang platform, but just might have some influential applications from the Giugiaro Ford Mustang feature a bit ago in Los Angeles.  Want to see what it looks like?  Better stop in and take a peek!

How do you make a high performance special edition Mustang even more special?  Start with a Saleen Ford Mustang and celebrate Saleen’s 25 years of existence.  Saleen’s latest steed, dubbed the Sterling Edition, is based on the Saleen S302E Ford Mustang and will have the same supercharged V8 with an output of 620 horsepower and 600 lb-ft torque.

There is little doubt that an S197 Ford Mustang equipped with a V6 can lay down some pretty respectable statistics.  We showed you an S197 V6 Mustang that broke the 10 second mark, last year, and now, the aftermarket is fueling the fire with more touches to the sixer.  Steeda, one of the foremost to make changes to 4.0 liter, has now released the 2008 QS6 Ford Mustang.

Fans of supercharged Ford Mustangs are going to love what All-American SuperCars has in store for them.  They have teamed up with Vortech Engineering to create a fantastically flavored Ford Mustang GT, with the first V-Power system ever.  This car's powerplant was originally unveiled at the 2006 SEMA show and now, it has become a reality.

Lots of images of the next Ford Mustang have floated around the ‘Net for over a year now.  From the Guiargio we saw back at the LA Auto show to some forum-dweller’s dreams, we can be a little more at ease (or as good as it gets right now) with some more spy shots of the new pony car, covered in camo.
