A V8 before it's too late?
Saturday, September 24, 2011
I consider myself very lucky. Not only because I'm doing the job I've dreamt of before I sported pimples, but because right now, I have the opportunity to drive both mega-horse, combustion-engined sports and luxury cars as well as environmentally-friendly EVs. And I love both. But these two might not coexist for long.

2012 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Review
Tuesday, July 26, 2011
The difference is under the hood. That's where you'll find 412 raw horsepower speaking loudly to anyone that'll listen. It's not a quiet steed, nor is it docile, but it's a tremendously rewarding pony for those with a lust for performance and a heart for nostalgia.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 First Impressions
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
MONTEREY, California - As the bright orange Mustang rocketed down through the deadly two-part turn know as "The Corkscrew", it should have punched a hole in the time/space continuum, rolling the clock back four decades ago to 1970. For this was the setting, the hot tarmac of the historic Laguna Seca Raceway where this very same car and driver combination established themselves as the dominant force in Trans-Am racing by winning the 1970 series opener.

Thursday, November 04, 2010
This is no ordinary classic Mustang. In fact, other than having once been a 1969 'Stang, it is very modern indeed. Built and designed by a team that included Mustang racer Vaughn Gittin Jr., programmers of the video game "Need for Speed" and the fabrication crews of Twins Turbo and Steen Chassis of Signal Hill, California, this 1969 Ford Mustang RTR-X is more than the sum of all its parts.

2010 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Review
Thursday, October 08, 2009
The engine is powerful and produces a deep, harsh rumble. The design is not exactly modern; actually, the lines are decidedly retro. Ride comfort prevails over pure handling performance and there's a lack of finesse at high speeds. And it mostly appeals to baby-boomers.

The result is a machine with some serious demeanor and visual bite that's ready to take on fresh new challengers... like, well, the Dodge Challenger!
