Ever thought about how a Ford Mustang would turn out from a free fall?  Would it nail the dismount?  What’s the chance this pony car might land on its feet?  Actually, the chances here are pretty good for both…albeit serious damage ensued shortly after the 2011 Mustang GT took flight.

Across the pond in Lugano, Switzerland, the owner of this 2011 Mustang GT mistakenly drove off the 3rd floor of a parking garage, ending the life of his trusty steed.  By the misfortune of selecting 1st gear instead of reverse, he promptly propelled the 2011 Mustang through the concrete barrier, landing down below after a few rotations.

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.

So just what car do you drop $25 to $35K upon when you are looking for the most bang for the buck?  Well, not surprisingly these days, the choices of efficient and powerful street cars isn’t always an easy one.  That being said, however, the choice to pick up either the Ford Mustang coupe or a new, powerful Ford Mustang GT…isn’t a hard call, considering the competition.

A recent head-to-head between several cars, including the Ford Mustang, Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Lancer, and the Hyundai Genesis proved that the all-American classic isn’t one to sniff or sneeze at…let alone completely ignore.

Every now and then, we catch wind of someone’s project and are so happy that people are still so focused upon old-school Ford Mustang special editions.  The latest in the news is the 1968 Steve McQueen Signature Mustang, released by a joint effort between Gateway Classic Mustang and the Steve McQueen estate.  This 1967 or 1968 Ford Mustang beauty should ring familiar bells and lay hue & give cues to the very car driven in the 1968 film’s San Francisco chase sequence.

The 1968 Steve McQueen Signature Edition is definitely no slouch on style, performance, or all-around goodness.  Check out the gallery as well as the press release for more details on the car’s build.

Well, we all know that Ford is not one to stop within the R&D and product promotion arenas, so it’s no surprise the ground pounding photographers are catching glimpses of the forthcoming 2013 Shelby GT500.  What’s most exciting is the GT500 could prospectively pump out well over 600 horsepower.  Carroll, do we need a name change on aisle 5?  Perhaps…

Many sources are pointing to the fact the trusty supercharged 5.4-liter V8 will be bolstered to 5.8-liters (whoa, 351!) and the Eaton M112 will make its curtain call, leaving room for the next-gen TVS unit while providing more power, less noise, and more efficiency overall.
