Torque TV Head 2 Head: Super Snake Mustang GT500 Versus NuFormz Challenger SRT8
The war between Detroit's muscle car threesome may have just begun, but as you can see in this newest episode of Torque.TV's Head-2-Head series, it's already a shooting war. Like we saw in the preview clip, this face-off pits a 725 HP Mustang GT500 against a 725 HP Challenger SRT8 in a good ol' tire-smokin' fossil-fuel-burnin' good time. Who will come out on top?

Torque TV Pits GS Motorsports Dodge Challenger SRT8 Against Kenne Bell Shelby Mustang GT500
This clip shows a race (well, the first half anyway) between two steroid-injected versions of Detroit's muscle car threesome, a Dodge Challenger SRT8 tuned by GS Motorsports against a Shelby Mustang GT500 tuned by Kenne Bell. Apparently it's one of many "bitter rivalries" from the upcoming second season of "Head 2 Head" on Torque TV (we're told it'll air starting September 25th). Others include races pitting the WRX vs an Evo and a GT-R vs a 911. If you're watching the above clip, and you're curious as to the difference between Torque TV and Speed TV, Torque TV has a woman in a tight-fitting top dropping her arms at the tree, while Speed TV relies on a bald guy wearing the same black t-shirt. Sure, it's fun to watch a girl jump up and down while excitedly thinking about making her S.A.G. check, but many gearheads may find these matchups kind of predictable. Let'sone-uphelp Torque TV out and let them know what other head-to-head matchups we'd prefer. Corvette ZR1 vs Bugatti Veyron, anyone? [Torque.tv] -

The Detroit News Opines On Renewed Pony Car Wars
Our buddy Scott Burgess over at the Detroit News has taken on the rekindled problem of which ponycar now reigns supreme. With the Ford Mustang GT500 and its thousands of variations, the reborn Dodge Challenger (now in SRT8 flavor), and the recently unveiled Chevy Camaro all vying for eyes, there won't be enough Calvin-peeing-on-competitor decals to go around. Though the conclusion is left up in the air, Scott still provides an amusing simile while comparing the Ford to Chuck Norris with a Bowflex. [Detroit News] -

Speed:Sport:Life Pits GT500 Against F430 Against Elise Against... Caliber SRT-4?
In what they're dubbing the "Imaginary Internet Millionaire Track Test," the assemblage of miscreants that traffic in words under the banner of Speed:Sport:Life have assembled a Ferrari F430, Mustang GT500, Lotus Elise and a Caliber SRT-4 for a head-to-head showdown at MSR Houston. We're guessing the equally arbitrary Sentra SE-R Spec V wasn't available? Their observations of the Caliber come close to our views, but the results didn't come anywhere close to our expectations. You'll never believe who won. [Speed:Sport:Life]

2010 Shelby GT500
We've shown you every other version of the 2010 Ford Mustang, from the base model to the 2010 Mustang GT, in spy photos and in sketches — even the interior's gotten a good look. But until today we haven't seen the highest-of-high-powered new Mustangs in camo-covered glory. Until today. The spy shooters at KGP have gotten us the first spy photos of the 2010 Shelby GT500 hitting the streets of Dearborn and sporting the slithering snake signifying the shaking hand of Shelby. Although the outside's still got the glad-bag anti-spy camouflage, the snake ain't the only thing we can see as it appears the up-powered 'stang'll get a bigger hood bulge and a deeper air dam. At the rear, thanks to the spoiler, the camouflage slipped free from the bottom of the rear bumper, pulling up a bit to reveal some very distinctive detailing. The revamped Shelby sports an aggressive lower valance more reminiscent of a Falcon than a Mustang. But it's the undisguised interior that's the real "get" — as it shows off features we'll be seeing in the upcoming new Mustang in general and on the Shelby GT500 in specific — including a slithering snake on the steering wheel. Check out all the details in the full report from KGP below the jump.
