Top speed is where it's at with Spectre
|
Posted July 27 2008 06:12 PM by Michael Johnson
For the majority of Mustang enthusiasts, top end speed is really not that important. If it was all of us would still be runnin’ around with 2.73 gears out back. If we were all after top speed all of our Mustangs would be...

Vic and Jimmy Keen still have their feet in the water pump

Posted July 25 2008 12:52 PM by Michael Johnson
Ever since we’ve been covering late-model Mustang drag racing, the Keen brothers have been in the mix. Back in the day their weapon of choice was a Fox GT, which they raced for quite a few years. They’ve raced several...

|
Posted July 16 2008 11:45 AM by Michael Johnson
I traveled over to Lamotta’s Performance [(407) 695-4549] in Longwood, FL to get a sneak peek at a gas-saving idea from SCT, but while I was there I had the chance to drive a customer’s Whipple-equipped Shelby GT500...

Are Mustangs becoming weekend cars?
|
Posted July 16 2008 11:42 AM by Michael Johnson
With gas prices the way they are these days we’ve started to notice less Mustangs on the road during the week. However, this past weekend I noticed a ton of Mustangs out on the street. That got me thinking, are today’s...

I’ve never wanted it to rain so bad
|
Posted July 16 2008 11:38 AM by Michael Johnson
One thing I’ve never had on any of my Mustangs is well-working wiper blades. Mine have always fluttered, or featured the dreaded lines caused by the wiper blades not making full contact. I’d always be jealous when getting...

Omissions in Artwork and Apparel are Signs of the Apocalypse

Posted July 7 2008 10:00 AM by KJ Jones
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Fox-body ('79-'93) Mustangs. And, even though I've owned more of the four-eyed variety (an '84, and a few '85s and '86s), I've got mad love for the entire platform and I feel the...

Motor Trend picks Challenger over GT500
|
Posted July 3 2008 06:43 AM by Editor_Turner
