Up for sale is a 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra with 22,151 miles. I bought the car in 2011 and it has been stored in a climate controlled garage since then. The car has never seen salt or snow. I spent an enormous amount of time cleaning the entire car. There is absolutely no rust on the car or on the undercarriage. The interior looks very close to brand new. The rear and passenger seats do not look like they have ever been sat in. The drivers seat has no rips or tears. The only sign of wear on the drivers seat are some minor wrinkles on the leather. The body is immaculate. Other than a handful of stone chips, the body is as nice as you can get especially for a 13 year old car. Both under the hood and undercarriage are super clean. Everything works as it should. Every single fluid and filter has been changed on the car. I used GM Synchromesh tranny fluid, Royal Purple diff fluid, the proper yellow coolant the owners manual calls for, supercharger oil, and full synthetic motor oil. The tires have roughly 4,000 miles on them, and the brakes are roughly 60% so they have plenty of life left. When I purchased the car, it was bone stock. I did do some modifications to the car. Here is the list:-Steeda 2.81 upper pulley-Steeda 100mm idler pulley-JLT Ram Air intake-Short throw shifter-Bassani Exhaust-IRS brace-Sumitomo tires 275x40x17 all 4-Afco dual pass heat exchanger-Tuned with an SCT Bama tuner (included)-Modded hood vents for better air flow-Shorty antenna-180 degree thermostat-NGK spark plugs-Classic Design Concepts light bar (not installed but included in the auction)-Front sway bar (not installed but included in the auction) I never had the car dyno tested, but based on the mods done, the car has roughly 440-450 RWHP and about the same RWTQ. All mods were done right and the car runs and drives excellent. The supercharger screams! I do have the convertible boot cover. I am including 2 extra 275x40x17 Cobra wheels with the original Good Year Eagle F1 tires on them. The wheels are in excellent condition. I am also including the Cobra car cover. Everything that I took a picture of is included. I have the stock pulley cover, heat exchanger and intake. The car was in an accident a long time ago. The person that I bought the car from owned a small dealership and he had his body guys do all of the repairs using OEM parts. This was his personal car for roughly 7 years. I kept his business card with a picture of my Cobra on the front of it so everything I say can be verified by him. I normally shy away from cars with a salvage title, but I made an exception for this car because it is gorgeous in and out. I am more than happy to make arrangements for anyone who wants to check out the car before Purchasing it. This car will not disappoint. The only reason why I am selling it is I recently moved and I do not have the room any more, so the car has to go. I never had a problem or issue with the car. It has been 100% reliable for the past 5 years. If you have any questions, Im happy to answer them to the best of my ability. Thank you.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014
Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
