2011 Ford mustang VS 2010 Camaro
With the all new Chevrolet Camaro finally making it to production earlier this year, the Mustang was given a real challenger. The Camaro returned after a long seven year break coming back with retro looks and powerful engines. Both the Camaro's V6 and V8 engines trumped the Mustang's engines in horsepower and torque by a fairly large margin but all that is about to change. The 2011 Mustang adds a new 3.7L V6 and 5.0L V8 that improve power to the Camaro's levels while also providing better fuel economy.
The Mustang was redesigned in 2010 with the same retro styling of its predecessor but with updated sheet metal. The front end is more aggressive, sleeker, and tauter. The headlamps and turn indicators are now a one piece unit inspired by the 1970 Ford Mustang. The GT gets fog lights placed in the upper grille similar to the 1967-1968 Mustangs while the V6 puts the fog lights on the lower fascia. For 2011, not much of the exterior will be updated but not much needs to be as the Mustang already looks stunning.
The Camaro finally made it to production for the 2010 model year bringing retro styling like the Mustang. The new Camaro returns with styling cues from the very first generation and looks menacing. The "V" design nose is superbly aggressive and reminiscent of the 1967-1969 Camaros. The SS gets an added air intake in the upper front fascia along with a larger air intake below. A design cue from the Chevrolet Corvette was actually used in the roof with a sculpted twin cockpit design

ROUSH INTRODUCES 540HP MUSTANGS
The 2010 Roush Stage 3 Mustang will once again take its rightful place atop the hierarchy of Jack Roush’s lineup. The vehicle comes fully-loaded with the Roush body components; resonator exhaust; four-piston front brakes with 14-inch rotors and painted rear calipers with slotted rotors; and the new upper billet grille which removes the fog lamps and streamlines the appearance of the new Mustang while improving cooling performance. Interior enhancements include Roush leather seats with an embroidered Jack Roush signature; four-piece performance pedals; Roush illuminated sill plates; short throw shifter with black or white ball; and a new interior Stage 3 badge with the car’s serial number engravedThe 2010 Roush Stage 3 Mustang will ride on 18-inch chrome wheels with high-performance Cooper RS3 tires; 20-inch chrome wheels with Cooper RS3 tires are one of the few options available on this model. The suspension package includes Roush front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers.
“The Roush Stage 3 Mustang has traditionally been among the halo vehicles of our lineup and I’m really proud that it sits atop the pecking order once again,” said Jack Roush. “This new iteration of the Stage 3 represents our highest horsepower and most sophisticated Roush Mustang yet, and is sure to resonate among our fans.”
The suggested retail for the 2010 Roush Stage 3 Mustang is $59,945. The 2010 Roush Stage 3 Mustang will have a limited production run of only 103 vehicles.
The second Mustang unveiled with the 540 horsepower powerplant is the new 2010 Roush 540RH, a limited content, full powertrain vehicle. Also known as the Hammer, this car comes armed with massive horsepower, a Roush rear decklid spoiler, and short throw shifter with a choice of white or black ball, the 540RH is a stoplight slayer.
Proving just how quick this car can be on the optional 18-inch Cooper RS3 tires, Roush engineers recorded an 11.8-second elapsed time at 121 mph during testing at Milan (Mich.) Dragway in early September.
“The new Roush 540RH is really intended to be a ‘sleeper’ car,” Roush explained. “It will be purposely built with minimal content as it was designed for the buyer who wanted the Roush horsepower but with a blank canvas that can be customized into their own personal one-of-a-kind ride.”
The 2010 Roush 540RH has a new suspension package which includes front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers, and a subtle tone-on-tone striping package. All this comes with a suggested retail starting at $46,145 when built on a base Ford Mustang GT chassis.
Both the 2010 Roush Stage 3 Mustang and the 2010 Roush 540RH Mustang use the same engine that debuted in the 2009 Roush P-51B Mustang. In order to get this type of power from the Ford 4.6L, 3-valve engine, Roush technicians replace many of the internal components with stronger parts including forged aluminum pistons (with an increased dish to lower the compression ratio from 9.8 to 8.6), forged steel H-Beam connecting rods and a forged steel crankshaft. The fuel rails are changed, as are the fuel injectors and an upgraded fuel pump. Roush also upgrades the clutch and includes a custom-calibration for the ECM to manage the performance of the next-generation R2300 Roushcharger.
As is standard with all new Roush Mustangs, both cars will come with the anti-wheel hop kit installed during the assembly process. This part (No. 401788) is an outstanding addition to any 2005-2010 Ford Mustang GT.
Both vehicles are covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty and will be available with a manual transmission only. The 2010 Roush Stage 3 is expected to start production by the end of September; the 2010 Roush 540RH should start showing up on dealer lots in October

Valvoline to give away custom Mustang GT-V
Valvoline motor oil, along with NightShiftEvents.com, is giving away a custom Ford Mustang built by RJ de Vera. The Mustang, called the GT-V, features a Roush supercharger system, Veilside D1GT body kit, H&R springs, Volk Racing wheels, Diamond sound system, and a custom suede interior from Street Concepts. “The overall theme developed for the Mustang GT-V was ‘Modern yet Classic’. Since we were hoping to bridge the gap between different car enthusiasts we decide to create a fusion between the young tuner performance oriented and aggressive ethos with that of classic American muscle feel. I believe we succeeded in producing an automobile that any car nut would love to have in his garage.” said RJ de Vera.

2011 Ford mustang v6 with 305HP wao
It would be reasonable to expect that Ford might pass over the Mustang and instead devote more attention to its other models since it's fresh off a comprehensive revamp for the 2010 model year. However, that's not what is shaping up in the House That Henry Built.
For 2011, the Blue Oval is introducing a new 3.7-liter V6 Mustang that should give it the firepower and refinement needed to take on Chevrolet's six-cylinder Camaro and Hyundai's upstart Genesis Coupe. But it isn't just the spanking all-aluminum powerplant and its 305 horsepower and 280 foot-pounds of torque that's making the scene for the forthcoming model year. In addition to the Cleveland-sourced mill, there are a pair of fresh gearboxes, a new V6 performance package, and a host of nip/tucks to the interior and elsewhere.
Now, we could grouse on behalf of 2010 MY 'Stang owners everywhere that these upgrades weren't part of last year's mid-life updo, but instead, we'll just be happy that these advancements are arriving at all.
Despite being smaller than the outgoing 4.0-liter V6, the dual-overhead cam 3.7-liter's horsepower and torque ratings represent massive improvements over the 2010 model (305 HP dismisses 210 HP and 280 lb-ft. plays 240 torques). In fact, that's more horsepower than the 4.6-liter V8 Mustang made just a few years ago. While the 305-horse figure only allows the Mustang to pip the crosstown Camaro by a single all-important stallion in the pony car bragging wars, Ford says the powertrain will be good for 30 miles-per-gallon on the highway when paired with its new six-speed automatic, also one notch better than the Chevy.
That impressive fuel economy figure isn't just the result of the new engine -- a suite of new pieces have been developed in order to maximize performance, including a revised air intake, a pair of new six-speed transmissions (both automatic and manual), electric power steering, and even some aerodynamic tidying, including a revised front fascia, deeper front air dam, rear-wheel tire spats, different underbody shields, and a new rear decklid seal.
The Heart Transplant
Despite those incremental improvements, the centerpiece of the 2011 Mustang is obviously the 24-valve Duratec V6, and it includes Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) and polished buckets and roller finger followers in the direct-acting mechanical bucket valvetrain, among other features. Ford officials promise that V6 buyers won't miss the roar of the V8's extra cylinders thanks to a retuned air intake and throaty standard dual exhaust. At the sneak-peek event for this new Mustang motor, Autoblog had the chance to hear the new engine fire up and rev -- and it indeed sounds sporty and purposeful. To be fair, however, we only heard the powertrain briefly in an enclosed space (a large development garage on Ford's Dearborn campus), so we'll have to wait until it's out in the open and we're behind the wheel to really get a feel for the 3.7's aural character. Other noteworthy features of the drivetrain include a deep-sump aluminum oil pan that enables less-frequent 10,000-mile oil change intervals and a 7,000-RPM redline.
On the transmission front, Ford has fitted a new six-speed 6R60 automatic with hill-start assist that allows for the 30 MPG highway bogey, as well as 19 MPG in the urban cycle (a 25 percent improvement over the 2010's 16 mpg city / 24 mpg highway figures). Prefer to shift for yourself? Expect fuel economy to suffer an iota for your enjoyment, with numbers for the six-speed manual falling to 18/29 (2010 MY: 18/26).
Naturally, with an all-new powertrain and its differing weight properties, Ford's engineers also had to turn their attention to the suspension. To that end, the 2011 V6 gets new damper and spring rates, a different rear lower control arm, and stiffer stabilizer bar bushings.
A More Electrifying Steer?
We always get a bit nervous when vehicles move to electronic power steering. Such systems may improve performance by lowering parasitic drag on the engine, but they rarely do any favors for steering feel. Ford assures us that they've worked hard to build a robust "feedback loop" into the system, but again, we'll have to wait and see for ourselves. In the meantime, we'll remain curious about how effective Ford's so-called Pull-Drift Compensation system is at accounting for road crowns and crosswinds, not to mention the amusingly named Active Nibble Control, which apparently helps to exorcise high-speed vibrations caused by wheel balance issues and warped brake rotors. And about those brakes -- they're bigger. 11.5-inches in front and 11.8-inchers out back have been borrowed from the GT's parts bin, and there's also a standard limited-slip differential to help get the V6 model's newfound power to the ground.
The Performance Model
What V6 Mustang are we most eager to drive? The new Performance Package model, which is scheduled to go on sale next August, as it promises to provide increased grip and go. For starters, the Perf Pack borrows the uprated front struts and rear shocks/springs from the V8 GT model, along with its thicker front and rear anti-roll bars and the rear lower control arms from the Shelby GT500. Also included is a 3.31 axle ratio for better acceleration, model-specific 19-inch alloys wrapped in Pirelli summer rubber, more lenient stability control programming with a dedicated sport mode, as well as a strut tower brace and the usual assortment of badges.
How will street spotters identify the new V6 Mustang? If the dual exhaust isn't enough of a tip-off, you'll probably have to check the glass. For 2011, all Mustangs get nifty integrated blind-spot mirrors -- and if you peek inside the driver's side window, you might catch a glimpse of the new-look instrument cluster which features a 160 MPH speedo and an 8,000-RPM tach.
How Much -- and What's Next?
Ford has yet to release any performance estimates or pricing, but despite the big jump in power and content, we don't expect pricing to increase dramatically. Given that the augmented V6 nearly shades the current 4.6-liter V8's horsepower figure (and the fact that the latter engine is comprehensively outgunned by the Camaro SS' 6.2-liter engine's 426 hp and 420 pound-feet of torque, it's no surprise that a new V8 engine is rumored, and we fully expect to see it before this domestic auto show season is out.
The takeaway from all of this? For those who thought that the rekindled pony car wars reached a fever pitch this year with the advent of the refreshed Mustang, long-awaited Camaro and still-warm Dodge Challenger, well ... we ain't seen nothin' yet.

Pontiac Gto American fav Muscle
Owner Bill Bolin tells HPP, "I like my 1970 GTO because it stands out in a crowd of other Pontiacs and Pro Street cars." This is possibly the understatement of the year. With two blowers stacked one on top of the other, huge-by-large rear meats, and a hallucination-inducing hue, this GTO attracts curiosity seekers like children to an ice cream truck. The buzz on the Internet was intense before the Pontiac was even complete.
Bill and his wife, Christine, aren't strangers to Pro Street Pontiacs, having built a '68 Firebird from 2001 to 2003. In fact, it was while searching for parts for his Firebird that he found the GTO on an online auction four years ago. "It was originally built into a Pro Street car from 1987 to 1989," the resident of Shady Side, Maryland, recalls. "The previous owner drove it until 1991 and then parked it in a barn for 12 years, which took its toll."
