Yesterday, we proved our formidable bandwagon-jumping skills with a "What People Think Car Guys Do" chart-meme-thing. Since then we've been getting lots of folks clamoring for their own brand-specific versions. Well, we're all about making you happy, so we decided to make some more. More »

Car enthusiasm is a global cultural phenomenon that never runs out of ways to show appreciation for favorite models. Sometimes those ideas start from one thought, become increasingly twisted, and end up as a very different kind of horse than anyone expected. More »

President Barack Obama took time out from watching the Republican field eviscerate each other in Florida to visit the Washington D.C. Auto Show. He sat in roughly six cars, but seemed to focus on the 2013 Shelby GT500, which he apparently called "sick." Right on, Mr. President. More »

Daniel O'Grady, an Australian into exploring old Japanese castles, happened upon this random sadness pile in Kurume City on Kyushu island. It's definitely a five-hanky lot of cars gone to seed, though rife with rusty-muscle-car porn. More »

Grammatically, pirates use ‘Arr' as an indefinite article, as in Arr, ‘tis a fast car, I seek*. Ford's SVT team used ‘R' to denote their most venomous of Cobras, and today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe snake is definitely a desirable article, but is its price too much of a pirate's booty call? More »

The Detroit Auto Show doesn't open for the press until Sunday but our own Ray Wert managed to pry himself away from his busy schedule of eating Greek salads at Leo's Coney Island to snag these first photos of the Mustang Boss 302 in its new "Gotta Have It Green" paint job. Sometimes it is easy being green. More »

The 300+ horsepower V6 Mustang spelled great news for budget-conscious racers, right? Mostly. A notable exception: Those who've blown their driveshafts doing speed pulls. Why is this happening? More »

Earlier this year, after Jalopnik pointed to a tide of transmission complaints from owners of 2011 Ford Mustangs, Ford identified several issues with the car's Chinese-built Getrag MT82 six-speed, and issued a pair of service bulletins. Now, the Feds are done poking around. The verdict? No recall. The transmission's safe as milk. The problem was "abusive" Mustang owners. More »

Even while Ford unveiled something that goes very fast in a straight line, the 2013 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet, it was quietly showing something new that goes around corners too. MustangsDaily reports that this 2013 Boss 302SX is a halfway house between the Boss race car and a Boss road car, developing more power, fitted with adjustable suspension and stripped of its interior. Production? Maybe. More »

Because of their rare and desirable nature most 1969 Ford Boss 429 Mustangs have been transformed from track terrorizing beasts into high dollar perfectly restored show cars. Usually there is little left to indicate the gritty lives these cars led on the street and race track when they were new. Much to our amazement and delight this Wimbledon White Boss 429, currently listed on Ebay, is completely original and looks like it is still ready to race. More »

Say what? Yes, the 2013 Shelby GT500 has reportedly topped out at 202 mph on Italy's Nardò test track. If true, it means the 650-hp hellhorse is as fast as a Lamborghini LP 570-4 Superleggera. That's kind of a big deal. More »

Apps this, apps that. Everyone's gone app crazy, even Ford, which will deliver the 2013 Mustang with a 4.2-inch LCD screen from which a driver can get massive amounts of performance-related information — from G-force readouts to temperature gauges spanning various internals (engine, transmission, intake, etc.) — and even "Track Apps."

Ford's Trackey setup for the Mustang Boss 302 promised to unlock the pony car's racing side with special software engaged by a separate key. Yet nearly a year after being announced, Trackey still isn't for sale, thanks to bickering between Ford and California environmental regulators. More »

A Wisconsin man decided to flex his newly-acquired beer muscles by testing his newly-acquired track-ready Mustang on a local street. He lost control, clobbered a Jeep Grand Cherokee and caromed into a tree. He probably thought he was taking the Zanardi line down the corkscrew. More »

A few years ago, Brooklyn artist Jonathan Brand sold a 1969 Ford Mustang he rebuilt with his father to pay for an engagement ring. In his latest work, entitled "One Piece at a Time," he's reconstructed that Mustang, piece by piece, at 1:1 scale, using nothing but paper. More »

It isn't the world's fastest Mustang as the video title claims, but this vaguely Ford based twin turbo drag car's 5.97 second trip down the drag strip does earn it the title of fastest turbo car down under. If that feat isn't worthy of a few amusingly high pitched screams, we aren't sure what is. More »

Ford says it will build only 50 copies of the Mustang Boss 302S, a track-only demon that we've called the greatest track-day Mustang ever. The very first copy off the assembly line met the walls — and hopefully not its end — at the Mid-Ohio track last weekend. UPDATED! More »

Even though this 2005 Ford Mustang may look like your average custom American muscle car on the outside, it has a secret. Underneath the hood of this Mustang is a technically British heart in the form of a Ford built 6.0L V12 from a 2001 Aston Martin Vanquish. More »
