The 2007 Ford Shelby GT Mustang will be running in the T2 class in the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) competition.  Geared up with Ford Racing Performance Packs, this Ford Mustang is well-positioned to make a dramatic impact in the circuit as well as the aftermarket.

It had to happen sometime—Chip Foose’s fantastic custom Ford Mustang lineup couldn’t be bridled forever. Beginning this year, Unique Performance will expand the distribution of the Foose Stallion Mustang by introducing a base model for distribution to all North American Ford dealerships.

As we’ve previously seen, first production cars like the oldest production Camaro we showed recently are big hits at the auction block.  Last year, the big story was the first production Shelby GT500, this year, Carroll was back on the block with the first ever Ford Mustang Shelby GT. In a strange repeat, the same winning bidder won the car for the same winning bid.  Six hundred sixty thousand dollars for his new Shelby GT.

Everyone knows you have to strike it while it's hot. Ford's doing just this, with the forthcoming release of two iconic Ford Mustang flavors: the Boss and the Bullitt. The latest pony in the stable, the Shelby GT, will soon be accompanied by these two Mustang variants in 2007. The Bullitt will, of course, seek to capture the essence and aura of the 1968 390 GT ridden by Steve McQueen. The Boss version of the Mustang will be an even bigger bang in the market, with the first Mustang to be powered by the all-new 5.0 liter Hurricane V8 powerplant. This limited-edition Boss is rumored to produce anywhere from 425 to 435 horsepower, possess a Spartan (stripped down) interior, and have less "fluff" to maximize performance.

Well it certainly looks like the Ford Mustang enthusiasts have nothing to worry about for now. Just minutes ago, Ford released an official press release squashing any belief that the legendary pony car that so many people love would be turned into a gelding with two additional doors. Was this just media spinning to get attention? Did Ford really intend for people to hear about this plan? Was this just a ploy to see how people would react? If it was a joke, it was somewhat a sick one. Let's just hope this latest affirmation that the Ford Mustang will remain a 2+2 settles into something concrete and permanent.

The best thing to do with something successful is to make more of it. OK. Even better, take that great thing and make it better. Right. Still yet, take this great thing and make it into something hardly recognized as the original. Not quite. If Ford proceeds to take its hot pony car, the Ford Mustang, and twist out sedan and wagon models, it will take a powerful steed and castrate it in order to capitalize upon solid sales figures and (supposedly) fit perceived consumer demand. Will it work? Will Ford have another Bold Move to propel itself ahead? Or, will Ford alienate a large portion of its fan base--those who worship the car's legacy of racing, power, and mystique?

Jack Roush's ROUSH Performance was able to do benchmarking and live testing in the NMRA Drag Racing Series as a real-world method of testing the newest line of Competition Parts and allow for development of the street legal ROUSH Drag Pack Ford Mustang. The overall experiences the company has had working and playing in the NMRA series has lead Jack & Company to expand the relationship in 2007 with a direct sponsorship of the entire Modular Muscle class.

One of the most anticipated vehicles since the Shelby GT500 is set for production beginning in January 2007. The latest Mustang offering from Ford, the Shelby GT that we have been reporting on for some time features 325 horsepower and the chance to own a vehicle that Carroll Shelby himself helped create.

A new commercial featuring one of the most popular rental cars to ever grace a Hertz showroom has been released by Ford. The commercial features a Mustang GT-H being chased through downtown streets by a lone police car. The Mustang spins out and stops and we find that two police officers are having fun recreating their own chase scene and are eager to switch places and try again. The commercial is right in time for the launch of the new Shelby GT that Ford is releasing with the same power and options as the before rental only GT-H.
