Ford Mustang attempts to race in the wet
The V8 muscle car skids across the road and nearly hits a traffic light. Turning off your Mustang's traction control system in the wet is a recipe for disaster. Drivers of Ford Mustangs have developed something of a reputation for losing control in situations where most of the car remains stable. So when the skies clear and the roads become slippery, the likelihood of a wild horse accident increases dramatically. That's why it's so refreshing to see the dashcam-equipped driver in the video make a wise decision: He chose not to drag race his Mustang in a wet intersection. As for the Bronco drivers, well... they play a role in keeping the stereotype alive. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f"); This video was originally shared on Redditshows the driver pulling away from the lights relatively quickly with a dashcam, with a black Mustang in the lane…

Ford Motor Company was In the 1960s, with its "Total Performance" racing program, the program launched a full-scale attack on nearly every form of automotive competition around the world.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
when people ask me As for what I would recommend as their first classic American car purchase, I almost always give the same answer: a Ford Mustang. The 1964.5-1970 Ford Mustang is the most supportive and simple classic American car you can own. There are literally hundreds of quality restoration parts suppliers, and they are almost universally respected in every field of car collecting enthusiasts, and they look great and are fun to drive. Of all the Mustangs produced from 1964 to 1970, my favorite body style is the 1965 to 1966 Fastback 2+2. To me, they are one of the top five postwar American automobile designs and one of the best standard production automobile designs of the 20th century. The fusion of European and American styles allows designers to make everything perfect. If you doubt that, ask yourself why Ford has used the '65-'66 Fastback since 2005 as the template for the Mustang's basic design. One of those truly…

Ford's sales of electric and hybrid vehicles are surging, but growth in gasoline-powered vehicles has all but stalled. The Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro are now long out of production, leaving the Ford Mustang as the last true muscle car. You'd think this would send Mustang sales through the roof.

Mustang GTD is the fastest American car in the world
Photo courtesy of Ford Last August, Ford told Its upcoming GT3-derived Mustang GTD has set a sub-7-minute lap time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. After two years of hard work, Ford achieved its goal. The Mustang GTD recently became the fastest American car ever driven, covering 20.8 kilometers (12.9 miles), 73 turns and 300 meters (984 feet) of elevation change (also known as the "Green Hell"). The folks at Ford Performance and Multimatic Canada started with the basics. They reduced weight by using a GTD carbon fiber body. A hydraulic drag-reduction system opens flaps under the body and adjusts the angle of the C-pillar-mounted rear fenders to take advantage of the air flowing over the lightweight exterior. Ford Performance combines reduced weight with increased output: a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 with 815 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, and a track-specific dry sump oiling system. That kind of power means nothing without the right driver, so Ford turned to Multimatic Motorsports' Dirk…

Caution lights (warning lights) are required by law, but for Ford Bronco drivers, these lights won't appear because the dashboard is black. According to Ye Ye’s recollections: "Due to a software initialization issue in the Remote Cluster Box (RCB), a low voltage event may result in loss of communications." Ford learned of the issue during a warranty claim analysis process in August, but no other Ford vehicles have experienced the problem. Between June 11, 2024, and October 7, 2024, Ford was made aware of 58 warranty claims for instrument panels on 2024 Ford Mustangs. However, there have been no reports of crashes or injuries.

Each features a 900-horsepower supercharged V8 engine and unique styling details. While buying a used Mustang rental car may not be the smartest choice, the rules change when it comes to limited-production specials like those made exclusively for Hertz.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1985 Ford Mustang GT
sometimes when it comes When it comes to performance cars, less is more. Today, we've become obsessed with driver-assist features, CarPlay integration, and creature comforts that can take away from the raw feeling of driving. This is perhaps one of the reasons why I stick with classic cars rather than demanding the latest automotive technology. I love driving for the sake of driving, not just to get from point A to point B. Today I found a car that I'm excited to put some miles on: Featured on AutoHunter is this 35,000-mile 1985 Ford Mustang GT for sale by a dealer in Apopka, Florida, where the auction ends Tuesday.

Mustang driver almost saved the car as he left it to race – almost
At first, the Mustang seemed to avoid hitting anything — but eventually it did... go through Brad Anderson 13 hours ago A Bronco driver collided with a sign during a car race due to a faulty electric rail. Fortunately, the car did not hit any onlookers. As with many pony crashes, the driver seemed a little too eager to hit the gas. If you're in the market for a powerful rear-wheel-drive sports car, look no further than the Ford Mustang. While it's good that the famous pony cars are relatively cheap, the downside is that they tend to fall into the hands of enthusiasts who don't know what to do with all that power. Case in point: the driver of this black Mustang in the United States. It has become so common these days for Ford Mustang drivers to crash while leaving a stock car event that not having a Mustang crash at a car race is more surprising than…

No, these aren’t mid-engine Ford Mustang GTD mules
The Ford GTD test car had air vents in the rear, sending the internet into wild speculation, but the truth is the V8 is still under the hood go through Brad Anderson November 5, 2024 20:55 Rear cooling vents on the GTD prototype sparked rumors of a potential mid-engine test mule.

Porsche 911 GT3 and Mustang pitted against each other, but that’s not the case
Mustang drivers get a bad rap, but they're not the only ones who can't control their powerful sports cars go through Brad Anderson October 31, 2024 21:11 The incident occurred during an event at a racetrack in Costa Rica. The driver of the 911 GT3 failed to start, causing the wheels to spin. Fortunately, the Mustang, which was driving alongside the Porsche, was not killed in the accident. In a drag race between a Porsche 911 GT3 and a Ford Mustang, the results should be obvious. The Porsche, thanks in part to its powerful launch control system, should outpace the Ford.

Pick of the Day: 1970 Ford Mustang “T5”
Ford Mustang It was Detroit's postwar success story, but Ford ran into problems selling the model in Germany. It seems that a company that makes trucks owns the rights to the name. Our Pick of the Day is a 1970 Ford T5 SportsRoof, one of the cars that solves this problem. It is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (Click this link to view the list.) The problem with the Mustang fell to Krupp Steel (now ThyssenKrupp). Krupp's history includes artillery, railroads, tanks and trucks, and it was the production of the latter from 1951 to 1968 that put Ford in trouble until the trademark expired in 1973. That's why the Ford Mustang has another name in Germany. Where did T5 come from? This was Ford's internal code when the original Mustang was taking shape. Why is the production car called T5? I can only suspect that branding the Mustang with another name is…
