One of the many changes for the 2013 Mustang is the availability of new color options. We’ve posted plenty of images of the 2013 Boss 302 in the new School Bus Yellow including both the official photos from Ford as well as our own shots from the L.A. Auto Show, but many Mustang fans have been very curious about another one of the new hues – Gotta Have It Green – ever since it was leaked that the color would be offered for 2013. While Ford hasn’t released any official …

A look inside the 2013 Shelby GT500′s 650 horsepower 5.8-liter supercharged V8

It might be easy to assume that there aren’t too many differences between the old 5.4-liter V8 in the 2012 Shelby GT500 and the new 5.8-liter V8 in the 2013 Shelby GT500. After all, the two engines look relatively the same and it’s fairly easy to add more displacement, right? Of course, that’s not the case as both Ford and SVT worked hard over the past year to make the 650 horsepower supercharged 5.8-liter V8 in the 2013 GT500 the most powerful production V8 currently produced in the world. “Anyone …

Video: Classic Recreations shows off the Shelby GT500CR 900S

Earlier this year Oklahoma-based Classic Recreations announced their new flagship mode, the Shelby GT500CR Venom.

Now the GT500CR Venom is back, although with a new name. Classic Recreations has renamed the car the Shelby GT500CR 900S and has provided us with some new photos and …

Photo Gallery: Ford releases images of 2013 California Special and V6 Pony Package Mustangs

Over the last several days we’ve brought you dozens of photos of the 2013 Mustang, from the standard GT and V6 to the Boss 302 to the Shelby GT500. We’re always up for more pictures, though, so we were happy to see that Ford has posted some new images of the California Special and V6 Pony Package Mustangs on the official Mustang page. We’re glad to see Ford continuing these two models for next year, as they were a nice option for those who didn’t want the standard Mustang V6 …

Video: Fifth Gear tests the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 at Le Mans

European automotive television shows are generally unkind to American cars. Whether it’s the lack of refinement, quality issues, or styling, the Europeans generally find something wrong with automobiles that come from the United States. But what about a car like the 2012 Mustang Boss 302? When we first tested the car earlier this year we couldn’t find much wrong with it (although we’re perhaps a little biased), so what would a car show like Fifth Gear have to say about Ford’s track-ready pony car?
Surprisingly, they mostly agree with us. Host …

New Product: TCI StreetFighter Torque Converter for the 2011+ Mustang

TCI has announced that their popular StreetFighter torque converters are now available for the 2011-2012 Ford Mustang with the 5.0L Coyote V8 and the 6R80 automatic transmission. These new torque converters are built tough enough to handle more radically prepared street/race applications thanks to furnace-brazed components  that increase the unit’s strength to withstand high horsepower and nitrous applications. The extra-durable, heat-treated splines, sprag races and hub will stand up to harder launches off the line, while the aftermarket billet front and clutch assembly …
