StangNet Glassback GT500 Project

StangNet Mustang GT500 Project

Classic Design Concepts has teamed up with StangNet.com to create yet another choice for you if you’re wanting to pick up a new Mustang. This one sports a pretty unique glassback roof, which you can see out from the inside, but not in from the outside, a custom, hand-painted finish, a Ford GT Push-Button start system, and 2008 GT500 HID headlights. But that’s not all… Continue Reading…

Red Stripes cost $1650 on the Shelby GT500

Ford is getting ready to release a (sort of) special edition package for the Shelby GT500. It’s called the Red Stripe Appearance Package, costs $1650, features red stripes, and…well, that’s it. $1650 for nothing more than red stripes? Hmm…

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Red Stripe

Ridiculous price aside, the choice might actually be worth it, since this will be the rarest color combination available for the GT500. You can get the stripes on either a black or white car, and I must say, the red stripes on black looks really good.

2007 Chicago Auto Show Disappointments

While the 2007 Chicago Auto Show was altogether a great time (see Part 1 and Part 2 of my reviews,) there were a few things that I was disappointed about. Just like every year, there were cars that I was hoping to see and weren’t there, but of course there were some surprises that made up for the shortcomings. Here are some of the things that I wish were at the show but weren’t:

Infiniti Coupe Concept

I was expecting Infiniti to display the next G35 Coupe as they did last year, but it was nowhere to be found. When I spoke with an Infiniti representative, he said they will be revealing the final production version at the New York Auto Show in April, and that it will be going on sale later this year for the 2008 model year. It’s going on sale earlier than I thought, so the fact that it wasn’t there is totally worth it.

Cool Mustang Billboards

Ford came out with some really cool billboards for the Mustang. The first time I saw this, I assumed the pictures were just taken at the right angle, and wouldn’t look right from any other angle. Turns out the billboards are made from a semi-transparent Lexan. That way no matter what time of day, season, or weather, it blurs the background to convey a sense of speed. Cool, isn’t it?

Mustang MySpace Layouts

I’m not a big fan of MySpace. It’s coded terribly, breaks all the time, and every other persons page is loaded with ridiculous graphics, flashing lights, loud crappy music that plays without you asking it to, and giant ugly sparkling glitter letters. But it does have its good side. When someone visits your page, you want it to convey your personality like a personal home page would. Most of the MySpace pages out there do that, but in a very bad, distracting, and seizure-inducing way.

If you’re a Mustang fan, you’re in luck. Get rid of the big flashing “Mustang Lover” graphic and get one of the nicely designed Mustang Myspace Layouts created by one of my sponsors, American Muscle. Keep reading for more info and pictures: Continue Reading…

Saleen Special-Edition Mustangs Confirmed to be Bad-Ass

Saleen Mustang Special Edition

I’ve been a pretty big fan of the Saleen Mustangs for a while now, but the 2005-current versions have been anything but exciting, until now. There will only be 25 of these made total. The 25th will be given to the winner of the Great American Run, and the other 24 will be sold only to participants of the Cannonball World event. 11 have already been sold.

“Surprising” specifications are an understatement here. With 600 horsepower, this Mustang can do 0-60 in under four seconds, and has a top speed of 200mph! Whether or not a Mustang can handle the 600 horsepower is a different question. I can’t wait to see the final specs on this beast; they’re bound to be very impressive. Plus it’s really sexy looking. I don’t think they’ll have a problem selling all of these, I don’t care how much they cost. Anyway, if you want to enter the race, it’s $10,000 and there are only 400 spots available. Better hurry!
