2013 Shelby GT500 Coming soon!

shenry — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:59:49 +0000

Let’s get right to the numbers, shall we: 650, 600, and 200. The 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 produces 650 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 5.8-liter V-8, and can reportedly top out at more than 200 mph. Yes, we said 200 mph. With the GT500, Ford has put the Bow Tie boys on notice — the Blue Oval is gunning for the 580-hp Camaro ZL1, so they’d better duck and cover !!!

The GT500 also gets exterior changes that carry over to the rest of the 2013 Mustang lineup. All 2013 Mustangs now get standard HID halo headlights with two LED bars, lending the Mustang a more aggressive, modern look. The LED treatment continues around back, where all Mustangs get new taillights. The Mustang’s triple taillights gain a smoked appearance and circular LEDs that surround the newly concave design.

Speaking of that new 4.2-inch screen, Track Apps are now available on the 2013 Mustang. Similar to the F-150′s Truck Apps, the Mustang’s Track Apps allow drivers to monitor performance metrics that they’d otherwise need specialized equipment for. An on-board accelerometer allows Track apps to measure the car’s g force as it pulls from left to right while turning, or fore and aft while accelerating and braking. Track apps can also measure 0-30 mph, 0-60 mph, and 0-100 mph times, and for drag racers, eighth-mile and quarter-mile times. All five of those metrics can be initiated with a virtual drag racing start light, so Mustang drivers can hone their skills off the track. There’s also a Brake Performance screen, where 60-0 mph and 100-0 mph stopping distances can be measured.

BE CAREFUL DONT GET BITTEN!!

1965 Comet Cyclone

shenry — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:14:16 +0000

1965 Comet Cyclone 289, 225 hp, pecan frost, 4 speed, 4 barrel carb, 389 rear end, crome hub caps. This was my first car that I kept until I purchased a 1968 Shelby GT 500.

In 1965 the Comet Cyclone got all new styling! The checkered flag and Cyclone emblems were moved to the rear fenders. The upholstery design was changed and a different tachometer was used, as well as the biggest change being vertical headlights that made it look more like a Ford than Mercury. The stainless steel “chrome simulated” wheel covers remained the same.

The standard engine for 1965 was a 195 hp version of the 289 V-8 with a two-barrel carburetor. An optional engine was the 225 hp 289 V-8 that had a four-barrel carburetor. The same engine dress-up chrome appointments were retained for the 1965 Cyclone. A new optional hood was now available with twin air scoops made of fiberglass.

1968 Shelby GT 500, 428, automatic, 456 rear gears, This car raced at Summerduck Dragway in B/SA class. In 1069 I traded for a Z 28 and boy was I stupid.
