The new Bullitt will have a 4.6-liter, 315-horsepower V-8, more aggressive shocks and struts and better brakes than a GT and an exhaust tone that Ford says matches the high-pitched rasp of the movie s cars. It will come only with a five-speed stick shift.
The 2009 Ford Glass Roof Mustang provides a third roof option for customers and responds to their growing desire for more natural light. Production of large sunroofs has increased nearly 200 percent in North America since 2003, according to Just-auto. The growth is driven, in part, by consumers’ daily commute time. The number of […]
The expansive glass roof is made of tinted privacy glass, which cuts infrared rays to help keep the cabin cool. The treated glass will help prevent the interior from fading and being discolored through typical sun damage. It comes with a manual roller blind to block out light on sunny days. Ford said the […]
I absolutely love this car, even though I know it’s pretty cheesy, [probably] way too expensive, and based on the now-aging current Mustang generation. It looks crazy sinister with its dark green paint and American Racing-style wheels, and the deletion of a spoiler and foglights streamline the package nicely. The standard Mustang exhaust note […]
The 540hp Ford Mustang GT500KR is going to be playing three different versions of KITT: the driverless version, a high-speed combat mode (dubbed KTT Attack), and a standard version of the hero car.

As we continue to observe and report on the Mustang hobby, it’s apparent that another generation of Mustangs is beginning to gain collectible status. After the final ‘73 model rolled off the assembly line, the era of vintage Mustangs was considered over. And while the Mustang IIs kept the flame alive, real excitement returned […]
Taking its cue from consumers, Ford seems to be on a continual roll when it comes to offering derivatives of the pony car. Also due to hit showrooms in 2008 are the Mustang Bullitt and the Shelby GT500KR .
Why a glass-roof Mustang? Ford cites increased customer demand for more natural light in cars and trucks. Ford credits that demand for a 200-percent increase since 2003 for large sunroofs, like the one it offers in the Edge crossover. Ford further claims that among these customers are sports-coupe buyers, some 62 percent of whom […]
