2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Expert Review - MSN Autos

Here is a Road & Track first review of the 2010 Shelby GT500... Past variants of the GT500 have always fallen a bit short for me... On paper the numbers seem fantastic, but once the test results were in, the GT500 always seem to fall short for what you'd expect from a car with 500hp... Hopefully Ford will truly deliver with the 2010 model....

iPhone Road Shots: Ford Mach 1 Mustang

Well as I posted a few days ago.. I have a ton of great iPhone road shots I'll be posting over the next few weeks. Here is a beautiful Ford Mach 1 Mustang. Thanks to Barry for helping me identify this car as a 1970. The Mach 1 had a various range of engines as did most muscle cars at the end of the era. Ranging from a 351 Windsor to the mighty 428 cobra jet in the 1970 model, the Mach 1 was a serious tire shredding machine! I've always been a fan of the Mach 1. It was one of the last great beasts of the Muscle car era. With the fuel crisis soon to follow, the Mach 1 ended a great era of American power and style with a high note.

(Special thanks to Bryan for all the great road shots!)

Top Muscle Cars - 2007 SEMA Show - MSN Autos

Here is a look at the top ten muscle cars from the 2007 SEMA Show from MSN autos. I personally love the "Smokey and the Bandit" 1978 Trans Am! Who wouldn't want the guilty pleasure of popping the T-Tops out of that bad boy and going on a beer run. Also interesting is the Gateway Classic Mustang. The plan is to put modern tech under the classic body of the first generation Mustang. Seems a big and expensive task, but then again Classic Mod cars are becoming quite popular. Come on though, isn't drum breaks and Bias Ply tires part of the fun of owning a classic muscle car?

Ford Mustang SVO autocross Video:

Here is a great autocross video from inside a Ford Mustang SVO. The Mustang SVO is probably my favorite Mustang of all time. The later SVO's had 205HP and 240 lbs. ft. torque out of it's small 2.3 liter turbo engine. Matched with a light weight body, special adjustable suspension and sport seats. The 1984-1986 Ford Mustang SVO was a very special pony! Many have said this was one of the best handling cars of the 1980's.. you can see why so many of the Mustang SVO's are seen on the autocross track. I would love to do a "Wall Poster Classics" segment on the Mustang SVO if the opportunity ever arises to drive and review one.

I really hope Ford takes a look back at great Mustangs like the SVO and does away with that ancient live rear axle they put on the new Mustang. Sometimes the best way to move forward is to look back!
