The “regular” (if one can even say that with a straight face) Shelby GT500 is already in the rareified world of cars with over 500 horsepower, but there are still an assortment of nutcases out there who need more power. Shelby doesn’t seem to have a problem with catering to this fringe group either, and…

It was just a matter of time before the new generation Ford 5.0 Coyote powerplant (from the 2011 Ford Mustang GT) found its way into the original 5.0 Ford Mustang Fox Body. We’re actually surprised it has taken as long as it has, but Kurgan Motorsports has done a very clean swap into their Fox…

2011 Roush Sport Mustang is All Show
We’ll admit this is a little odd, but we can also understand where Roush is coming from.

Ford Asking Fans To Help Name Mustang V6 Performance Package
With over 300 horsepower, the Ford Mustang V6 is no longer confined to the role of rental car, like its less fortunate ancestors were.

Knight Rider Ford Mustang K.I.T.T. Car Heading to the Auction Block
