  • 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0

    We've heard that iPad owners can be a tad obsessive, but this is bordering on the ridiculous. Or the ridiculously awesome. Here's the story: A customer ordered a 5.0 GT with navigation and Sync, and when the car arrived with Sync but without nav, instead of asking to have the mistake rectified by the dealer, he simply took matters into his own hands by moving Sync to the rooftop and installed an iPad where the navigation system should be. He carries a towel with him to cover the iPad for security when parked, and says that the iPad does a nice job streaming Netflix over the 3G network. For...

    VIDEO: 850 Horsepower Mustang Engine Blows Up On Dyno

  • 2011 Ford Mustang Boss 302

    Over the past year, the most searched car on AutoTrader.com has been the Ford Mustang. You'd think that in a down economy, with many consumers shifting their tastes in a more practical direction, that people would be browsing for less-expensive cars and trucks. And yes, Ford's F-150 and Toyota's Camry both make the top five most searched cars for AutoTrader in 2010. But the fact that the Mustang is generating such search traffic on a major consumer shows that the car is still a hit. And for those that were wondering, the Chevrolet Camaro came in third.

  • 2012 Ford Racing Mustang BOSS 302S

    Just as we promised you a little over a week ago, Ford Racing has developed its track-only hardcore 2012 Mustang BOSS 302S. The official details released today read like a solid-axle track addict's dream. Based on the same basic set of features as the 2012 Mustang BOSS 302 production car, the 302S adds some highly effective and equally impractical for the street aero, including a very low, deep splitter and a large rear wing. The gearbox is a standard six-speed, while a T2 Torsen limited-slip diff and 3.73 gears send the power to the ground. The car is built to be competitive in several...

    VIDEO: Illegal Mustang Versus Camaro Street Race Ends In Major Accident
