Looks like there is another 2012 Ford Mustang to hit the streets, based upon the already awesome ROUSH Stage 3 (RS3) Mustang crafted by ROUSH Performance.  This 2012 Mustang “Hyper Series” Stage 3 boasts a whopping 540hp and 465ft-lbs of torque, has a fully-tuned suspension capable of pinning over 1G of lateral force, and of course, continues to follow in the steps of warranted craftsmanship we all know well enough from ROUSH Performance products.

So what sets the Hyper Series Stage 3 apart from its vanilla namesake?  A barrage of 4 limited edition appearance packages set to mark the cars with a bit more panache and attractiveness than what’s normally expected by the ROUSH enthusiast crowd.  There are 288 graphics and paint color combos that could be had by any prospective ROUSH Mustang owner.  The Hyper-Series brings on an offering of “four spectacular and unique graphics and interior colors that provide a customized appearance to the RS3.”

What’s the first thing most every Ford Mustang owner does within the first month of ownership?  You know it–mod it!  Besides, what’s the fun in having something you can’t uniquely identify as your own?

So the wheel continues to turn & burn regarding the next iteration of the Ford Mustang coming in the 2015 model year.  The 2015 Mustang is poised to receive what could be one of the most dramatic redesigns the late-model Mustang has seen in contemporary times.  We already know the 2013 Mustang is going to get some mild touches, but nothing overly dramatic to say the least.  So, just what can we expect to see in the 2015 Mustang?

How much did you spend on soda this week?  Fast food?  Tobacco?  We thought as much.  What if we told you, the Ford Mustang enthusiast masses, you could all have the chance to make a difference and see a good cause forwarded to benefit all Mustang fanatics the world ’round?

Late in 2010, we told you about a Ford Mustang TV show which would bring about a new series focused upon everything Mustang!  The problem here today is getting the funding & backing to make this vision a reality.  The fine folks behind the project have already reached out to every major broadcaster in hopes of getting this bird out of the nest, but guess what…it takes coin…and lots of it.

Inside the Press Release is a way each one of you Mustang fans can actually make a real difference in this project.  Be sure to give this one a close look, as we think this is going to be a pretty cool deal coming to fruition.

And by the way…yes, we’re in.

Ever wonder what it’d be like to pilot a 2012 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang out on the track?  Some of you have had plenty of track time, for sure, but we’re guessing the number of ROUSH racers, especially the 2012 Mustang variety, are limited in number.  So he we are, bringing you a featured video from ROUSH Performance, exhibiting professional driver Billy Johnson at the reins, taking on Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia.  Pictures are worth a thousand words and videos are nearly priceless, so keep going to see some seriously sweet Mustang hot lapping action!

After the last round of Royal Purple’s Forum Wars, we were once again excited to hear that StangNet was going head-to-head again with My350Z to see just what the Ford Mustang and Nissan coupe, along with the driver mod, had in store for some good ole track competition.  There’s always good fun to be had when you get some good smack-talk in, then get the chance to prove the check can be cashed on the race track.  The Forum Wars pits various Internet communities against each other to see just what car and driver combo comes out on top.

This time around, the racing results ended up with the 2011 Mustang GT … well, just watch the video footage and see for yourself!

Unless you’ve avoided blockbuster movies and the myriad of children’s toys surrounding Pixar’s smash-hit, CARS, then you’re well-aware that June 24th will bring its sequel, CARS 2, to the silver screen.  What’s even cooler about the follow-up to the 2006 hit is we’ll get to see a lot of the old crew back, as well as many new faces grilles…including a classic 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang, personified by sports telecaster Brent Musburger.  And of course, Brent will fulfill the role Bob Costas held in the first go ’round.

Keep going to see a couple of fun video clips we’ve snagged off YouTube!

The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 has truly lived up to its nameplate and the Boss moniker isn’t exactly one to learn; it’s one to earn.  So many of us had been thinking Ford would have come back with a 2012 Mustang to sweep the sweet Shelby Mustang aside temporarily in the spotlight…and we were right.  Hey, what’s not to like?  The car has insanely-hot styling cues, 444 horses underhood, and now, a means to bring upon an even louder, more aggressive presence.

A team at Fox Motorsports took hold of a 2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca and went to work removing the exhaust restrictors, cataloging exhaust notes for us, before & after modification.  So what do you do to a good thing to make it better?  Get more of it!

Keep going to see both videos of the 2012 Boss 302 Mustang singing its amazing song.

What’s cooler than a Ford Mustang on the track, pitted against its enemies?  Several of today’s Mustangs put to the test against their own limits as well as each other’s.  Inside Line has put up a very slick video and writeup that any Mustang fan will be pumped-up to soak in.  The gunslingers at the O.K. Corral: the Mustang V6, the Mustang GT, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca, and the Shelby GT500.

Between races on the skid and the 1.6-mile course at Streets of Willow, the final victor was decided.  To no surprise to anyone, the higher the price tag and marks of performance lead to the ultimate king.
