Along with being a Ford enthusiast I am also a big GM and Mopar fan that loves their muscle cars. Two of my favorites from those companies are the 2002 Trans Am WS.6 and the 2007 Charger SRT-8, they both look absolutely amazing. I’ve been in the muscle car society for along time and I’ve come to realize that there are a lot of guys that don’t get along with each other because some don’t like the other companies. I think this can be rather childish and don’t understand why they act that way.

First off, all three companies are American and have sweet muscle cars. Thus all three should be treated with respect even if you don’t like them. I can understand that you like the competition, but I’ve seen a little more that that. I’ve seen a ton of flame jobs on car forums, it’s just too bad some enthusiasts act this way. I just wish that that some people could get along, it would really make the hobby a lot better if you ask me!

This is a custom Mustang built by retrobuilt.com, the car is really cool. The car looks like a 1967 Mustang, but in actuality this car is a S197 Mustang. The car has outside features of a car from the 60s, but has better performance with today’s technology so you are getting best of both worlds. If you are interested in buying one you can actually go to retrobuilt.com and order your own RSC-GT Mustang. I think they did a realy nice job with this Mustang, definitely has my vote as one sweet Mustang!

So what happened to some of the 2003 Mustang elements? I think this car looks hell of a lot better than the stock 2005-08 Mustang GT model. I think they could of dubbed in some of the elements like the pointed headlights, split foglights and scooped hood. The rear lights even look a little better I think, I’m not saying the new S197 isn’t good looking, but I am saying that the 2003 Mustang is absolutely gorgeous. Car was perfect, they really didn’t need to change anything. Maybe the new model will have some of these features…I really hope they aren’t lost like the Mustang GTR. Both the Mustang GTR and this concept are so sweet, I wish they came out with them!!!

Mustang Mule spotted by Brenda Pritty, she snagged this shot of the Mustang Mule over in Detroit. Here’s what she has to say about the beast!

“Our shooter managed to get only one shot of this Mustang, as once the driver saw the camera - he quickly ducked for cover. But this Mustang, with a well-padded bra, is believed to be an engineering mule for the 2010 mid-cycle overall.

Not too much is currently known about the upcoming changes to the Mustang, but we’re expecting the “new” (as in extensive facelift) Pony car to start production in January of 2009, with an on-sale date early in the first quarter of ‘09. Although it will reach dealerships very early in 2009, it’s expected to be sold as a 2010 model.

The 2010 Mustang will debut will all-new front and rear styling details, and the new BOSS 5.7-liter V8 is expected to be offered as an option, but we’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out about other engine offerings.”

5.7 liter V8 sounds good to me, it’s about time Ford has stepped it up to GM with nice sized naturally aspirated engine.

I really think this is one of the best movie car chases ever, especially for it’s time. What I like about it is it’s all natural and there’s no special affects in it. Well shit, back in 1968 when they made this movie there was no such thing. I think that’s what makes a chase scene really cool! When you add too many special affects in it, it takes away from the chase scene and makes it cheesy. I give props to Peter Yates for directing such a cool chase scene in Bullitt, it is definitely a legendary scene and will stay a legendary scene more time to come. And of course Steve McQueen did a great job acting in this scene also, will be in my Mustang memories forever.

I think it’s pretty easy to overly modify your Mustang. I mean look at this Mustang here, I think he or she could of left out the gray paint of the ground effects kit. I mean the kit is enough and the hand definitely has to go! I think it would look really good if you left out those two elements, but hey that’s just my opinion. If he or she like their Mustang that way, I’m all for it. I just think that some enthusiasts really overly modify their Mustangs and they tend to get mad when some people comment on them. The choices you make really affect what people think of you and your car. I suggest thinking them through or have a sketch artist draw it out before you make the decision. There’s also computer programs like photoshop which I think is prolly your best bet.

Whipple Inustries has come out with all types of colors to choose from for your custom Mustang. Choose from colors like blue, white or red to match your Mustang color scheme you got going. Personally, I think the blue looks really bad ass. It has a really nice shiny tint to it that goes well nicely with any kind of colored engine bay. Some people say blue and black don’t got good together, but I think this would look sweet in a black 03-04 SVT Mustang Cobra. This is a very unique option for a supercharger, some companies do not allow options such as these.

There are many different brakes to choose from, but you have to be really careful. Let me tell you why… First off, make sure you check your wheel offset and basic wheel measurements. That’s one of the major things you need to do first, I’ve heard of some Mustang enthusiasts picking up aftermarket brakes and finding out they don’t seem to fit well with their stock wheels or custom wheels. Also, take time to think if you are happy with your current wheels. Because if you purchase brakes now and down the road you end up getting a new set of wheels that you really really like, they may not fit with your aftermarket brakes. I do think most wheels fit with aftermarket brakes, but you better just make sure.

Second do your research! Find out if you actually need aftermarket brakes, sometimes you can just end up upgrading to stainless steel brake lines and slotted rotors. Just those minor upgrades can make one hell of a difference. Some cars like the SVT Cobra Mustang came with really powerful brakes, so something like a package of slotted rotors and steel brake lines would be perfect for that model. But, if you are a hardcore enthusiasts, you must have the whole package, please choose wisely. Look on Mustang forums and read a lot of the brake reviews. I have actually heard that some brakes can be rather noisy and aren’t as powerful and smooth as others.

This is a very critical choice because some brake packages are rather expensive. So again, please make your choise wisely and do your research. Those search buttons on forums are there for a reason!

Here’s a small list of different companies that make brakes:

• Brembo
• Willwood
• Baer
• Roush
• SLP
• Ford Racing
• J&M
• Powerslot
• Stainless Steel
• Prostop

New Mustang products over at the American Muscle Mustang store. Two new products that I’m quite fond of are the black aluminum billet fuel door and the brushed aluminum billet fuel door. Both add a nice look to the back end of your suped up Mustang. Personally I love the brushed aluminum look and I would have to go with that one. I think this looks really good on the new S197 models, but I would refrain from putting it on the older Mustang models.

Mustangblog.net featuring the Roush Mustang Commercial. Though I have never seen this on TV, many say it debuted during the Thanksgiving Day parade. The video is really cool, features their Roush Mustang models and their suped up F-150 truck.
