The latest Bold Move from Ford involves a set of NASCAR drivers and the headlining Shelby GT500 Mustang. Ford invited Jamie McMurray, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, and Greg Biffle to come tear up a brand new test track for a promotional run to see just how the GT500 stands up and measures with professional drivers on a closed course. The energy this car has is apparent when one of the drivers refers to the car as a "race car" because it performed exceptionally on the course. Check out the video for yourself and see what all the excitement is about!

Does it stand for 427hp, or 427 Reasons to sell every possession you own just to acquire one? With over 250,000 Ford Mustangs sold by Ford every year, it is no surprise that owners want to make their cars stand out, and aftermarket companies take advantage of this with their many offerings. One such offering comes from Roush, with its different "stages" of Mustangs. However, Roush has brought a completely different animal to the pony show with its new 427R. Boasting 427hp, 391lb-ft of torque and devilishly good looks, the 427R will make an entrance whether it is sitting at a drive in, or tearing down the quarter mile. There's much more in store--check out the video and all the photos below!

Ford has let a few cats out of the bag recently with three new NASCAR pace cars being unveiled to pace three Ford Championship weekend races at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The Ford Edge, the Ford F-150 FX2 Sport, and of course, the Ford Shelby GT500 tar are all poised to take the track and set the pace for NASCAR circuit participants. The most powerful production Mustang to date, the Shelby GT500, will lead the pack in the Ford 400 racing event.

To further tell the tale of the man behind Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT), Frank Moriarty has compiled the facts and interviews in his book "IRON FIST, LEAD FOOT: John Coletti and Ford's 'Terminator'". For a long time, a factory supercharged Ford Mustang was something desired by muscle car fans of the past as well as today's technological present. It took the vision and direction of one man to make the dream happen: O. John Coletti.

The son of the famous Ford Mustang racer/entrepreneur, Jack Roush, is set to capitalize on his motorsports career with his first start in the Grand-Am Cup series on October 7 at 2p.m. (Central time). The versatile 33 year old Jack Roush, Junior has made his way from racing go-karts, through drag racing, and now seeks to conquer the twisties at the track in the Grand American Road Racing Association. Roush, Junior will be one of three co-drivers in the six-hour season finale at Virginia International Raceway, piloting the number 59 Rehagen Racing Ford Mustang along with Dean Martin and Ray Mason. Sponsorship, of course, is provided by ROUSH Performance as well as Brandon Ford, Columbus Truck & Equipment and Racer Bargains and he will race in the Grand Sport (GS) class--the premier division in the Grand-Am Cup. "I am really nervous and really excited at the same time about this race" said Roush, Junior. "I don't quite know what to expect but I do know that this (road racing) is something that I have really wanted to do for a while now so this is sort of the fulfillment of a dream." With over 75 cars already registered for the race, including 42 in the GS class alone, Roush Jr. is certainly going to have his work cut out for him.

Ford has promised a special edition Mustang variant every year starting now. The Shelby GT will be the first variant, followed up by the 2008 Bullitt Mustang and so on. The 2007 Shelby GT is a retail version of the Shelby GT-H that is rentable at major Hertz locations. Expect the driving experince to be almost identical between the Shelby GT and Shelby GT-H. Changes between the regular Mustang GT and a Shelby GT include, among other things, two major components. Both of the major changes are supplied by Ford Racing Performance Parts or FRPP for short. The first, the Mustang "Power" pack helps the stock motor increase total power output from 300 horsepower to 325 horsepower. The second transformation comes in the form of the FRPP "Handling" pack which takes the mildly tuned stock suspension and turns it into a corner hugging machine. One of the biggest benefits to any S197 owner is these FRPP parts used to create the Shelby GT will be covered under the 3/36 warranty on all new Shelby GT's. So we can only hope that the warranty will trickle down to the FRPP catalog and apply to all parts installed by your local Ford dealer.

As we continue down the path of Ford's "Way Forward" today, a variety of news was spoon-fed to us. One particular notable was the fact that the Ford Mustang Bullitt is slated to return to production sometime in 2008. The announcement comes somewhat as a surprise, as the prior run was to be a limited production set and many Mustang fans were expecting to hear news of a Boss, redone on the S197 (2005+) platform. What will Ford have under the hood of this particular caliber of Bullitt? A naturally aspirated 5.4 liter? A blown 4.6 DOHC? Wish we could say for certain, but we'll have to see what Bold Move Ford makes next to find out. If we hear anything, we'll keep you posted.

ROUSH Performance keeps raising the bar in the entire aftermarket for the Ford Mustang. The latest and greatest from Jack's garage is the new 427R model that brings; you guessed it, 427 horsepower from the stable straight to the street & track. Based primarily upon the ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang, the 427R has fewer modifications, but maintains plenty of pizzazz. An intercooled ROUSHcharger system adds 115 hp and 65 lb-ft of torque to the 3-valve 4.6-liter Ford powerplant. Tuning and taming this wild rendition is ROUSH's own engineered ECM calibration that is flexible to accommodate multiple exhaust combinations.
