What are the two things car guys want?  More power and less weight.  The 2011 Shelby GT500 has both.

Ford puts $2.7 Billion Profit on books for 2009

Not so bad for a domestic automaker these days, eh?  Especially when you consider that Ford lost $14.8 billion in 2008 – that’s over a $17 billion swing in just a single year.  A huge part of that swing ($5.1 billion) was due to reducing structural costs.  For years, we’ve known that the domestic automakers [...]

2011 Mustang gets a price tag

By now it’s no secret that I’m looking forward to the 2011 Mustang.  Whether you choose the 412 HP V8 powered GT, or the not-so-lowly 305 HP V6, you’re getting a huge power upgrade from 2010.  All that extra power comes at a price, of course.  Fortunately, the price increase is extremely modest, and well [...]

2011 Mustang GT gets 412 HP 5.0 V8

When Ford dropped the 5.0 way back in 1996, in favor of the more powerful but smaller 4.6 liter V8, enthusiasts cried foul.  They liked the legendary, if power-lacking, five point oh.  Fifteen long years later, the 5.0 is back, baby.  That’s right, the 2011 Mustang GT will sport a 412 HP 5.0 liter V8.

2011 Ford Fiesta

Pricing has been released on the 2011 Fiesta – much to everyone’s surprise. If you want to rock out in Ford’s returning minicar, you’ll need to pony up at least $13,320.
