Shelby Inspired F-100



  Everybody knows Gene Simmons, if you don't know who he is, he's the bass guitarist from the rock band "Kiss".  Well he and his wife, Shannon Tweed have pulled back the curtain on their really awesome truck; a custom 1956 Ford F-100 pick-up truck at the 2013 SEMA show.  Built with the help of Ford, the classic is named "Snakebit" and has styling features inspired by the high-performance Shelby Mustangs.  The truck is powered by a supercharged 5.4L V8 engine that sends 550 Horsepower and lurks behind the Mustang Inspired Grille with a six-speed Manual Transmission.  It has a stretched wheelbase, a widened box with a Machined floor that imitates wood, 18-inch front wheels and 20-inch real wheels along with custom built head and tail lights.  Inside you'll see handmade panels, two-tone leather interior, classic gauges and custom leather wrapped dash and armrests.  This a cool little truck, its got that great classic look, the best color, a fun manual transmission and most importantly...that big supercharged engine.  Please comment and share. Thanks.

2014 Mustang Customizer: #2



   Ok the last time I made a Mustang customizer post was back in October so I thought we were due for one.  The first post I did I had 125 cars built and 60,000 points, now I have 270 cars built and 113,770 points.  The cars that I'm showing are my most popular...What is the Mustang Customizer?, you ask.  It's a battling contest that Ford created so people like you and me can build our dream mustangs and battle them for a chance to win the car that you customize, and its not some "fill in the blank" entry contest;  if  you want to win your going to have to work at it.  So here's what you do...go to www.ford.com and click on Cars>Mustang>Then choose the customizer.  The more cars you build equals more points and more points equal more entries.

2015 Mustang Sedan?

  What if Ford made a Mustang Sedan?...thank God Ford said it was a no go..I could not see Ford going forward with such a ugly model.  The Mustang is an icon and will continue in it's form as a unique 2 door, 2+2 performance vehicle.

  The picture posted above is showing how a four-door version of the model may look like if the company will decide to put it into production. This can be a rival for the Dodge Charger but it will never see the pavement. I could see a hatchback model like the models from the 1980's and early 1990's. anyway. Please comment and share, Thank-you

2015 Mustang: Features



Since the 2015 Ford Mustang and Coupe was introduced, many have been interested in its features.  These are what I feel are some its best features.
  • a 3.7-liter V-6, a more powerful 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 310 horsepower, and a 420 plus horsepower, 5.0-liter V-8.
  • Driving modes and steering modes.
  • New standard features and technology.
 Ford announced Tuesday the 2015 Mustang will be the first vehicle to feature the newest generation of the Sync AppLink technology for connecting to, and interacting with, your smartphone very easily while driving.

 Sync AppLink lets you control smartphone apps using your car voice recognition. You can open and navigate apps such as Aha Radio, Rhapsody, Glympse, without ever picking up your phone. AppLink, isn’t 100% seamless, it’s useful for drivers who want to use apps without taking their eyes off the road.
  Ford also announced four new apps for its Sync system... two parking apps (Parkopedia and Parkmobile), a home-security app (ADT), and an app from Domino’s, so you can order pizza on your way home from work.

  AppLink isn’t the only tech you'll see on the new Mustang. We can also look forward to new track apps, the safety tech and sensors seen on other Ford vehicles, and a 4-inch  touchscreen.

  Missing is Ford’s Active Parking Assist, which is a parking feature that helps drivers parallel park...I mean come on, do we really need that... people who buy Mustangs are people who enjoy driving, and who know how to park.

 





2015 Mustang: Re-rendered Mustang Design



  The computer generated changes include slightly tweaked headlamps, no longer feature the three vertical gills from the first-generation car and slimmer daytime running lights, while the fog lamps have been moved below the front grille. The rear of the pony was rendered with a different bumper and even with quad exhaust pipes...I thought you guys might enjoy these pics... I wonder if Ford might use these in next years models.
please comment and share, thank you

The 2015 Mustang Cobra Jet: Rendered



 Ford has confirmed that the Cobra Jet program will continue into the sixth-generation Mustang, it’s still not sure if the Blue Oval company will use the new S550 platform, which ditched the classic live rear axle for an independent rear suspension.

  the 2015 Cobra Jet could use a Taurus platform or even a rear-wheel drive configuration of the all-wheel drive Fusion, although the latter scenario is too far fetched.

But no matter what platform will be used to underpin the new dragster, the 2015 Cobra Jet will most certainly look the road going version that Ford revealed. There’s no talk when the new quarter mile racer will be unveiled. If there’s any indication on what the 2015 model may come outfitted with, the current 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet power. comes by way of a 5.0L Coyote engine boosted by a Whipple supercharger system

2015 Ford Mustang: Shelby GT350



  The team at Mustang6G thinks they have a very good idea, thanks to the body codes they've uncovered in what appears to be a leaked document for the new Mustang.

  The codes shows all the usual will be there, V-6 and V-8 coupe models, but also point to a Shelby coupe.  The best Intel so far on the next-generation Shelby Mustang makes a GT350 badge seem possible.

   The Mustang6G crew thinks
an indication that the Eco-Boost four-cylinder will be an engine option for the V-6 base car, rather than having its own body code.

2015 Ford Mustang: New colors.




When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits showrooms late 2014, you will have 10 different color options to chose from.  the newest is the Triple Yellow color, as well as new silver options.
Ford's Group Chief Designer - Susan Lampinen, said "We're offering our customers a whole range of colors, from our core colors, our basic colors, blacks, whites, silvers, grays, and we're also offering very expressive, bold, powerful colors like our race red, tinted clear coat reds."

 If you notice..the rear back up light is toward the bottom in the middle near the exhaust, ford did this so they wouldn't break up the gorgeous taillights by putting it in the middle of the taillights.  this feature of many is one of my favorites.  The fastback silhouette is just the best. 

My favorite color for a vehicle is white but im leaning toward the triple yellow and ruby red. I actually have a 1993 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe, (3.8l supercharged V-6) in crimson red, its an amazing color. what do you guys think of the colors? please comment and share
