2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR 40th Anniversary
In 1967 Carroll Shelby introduced the first GT500 Mustang. Forty one years later, touting a 5.4L V8 engine capable of producing 540 hp, the modern day GT500 is a reminder of everything good in a Shelby Mustang. This is no ordinary Mustang. It’s number 887 out of only 1,000 made. There’s the leather-wrapped steering wheel, a one of a kind shifter knob, Brembo brakes and an extremely firm clutch. This car offers a 2.73:1 rear axle gear radio, Ford racing performance exhaust system, 20” “GT500KR” Shelby designed wheels and front brake cooling ducts. It is also decorated with a carbon composite hood featuring a classic Shelby GT500KR design and 40th anniversary badges on the front quarter panels. The 2008 Shelby GT500 is one of the most powerful Mustangs. The car is fast, no doubt about it. With a 5.4L supercharged V8 engine under its hood, this car can do 0-60 mph in a quick 4.5 seconds. When you sit behind the wheel of a Shelby GT500 Mustang you feel powerful. The car emits a powerful vibe. Maybe it’s the ever present view out the front window of the GT500’s bulky hood, complete with air extractors or maybe it’s the whine of the screw-type supercharger every time you step on the gas. The car feels powerful. The GT500’s seats feature red leather inserts, complete with the famous cobra stitched onto the front seat backs. You’ll also find a cobra logo in the middle of the leather-wrapped steering wheel. There is a boost gauge which replaces the standard voltmeter gauge in the instrument panel. This car includes ambient interior lighting, electro-chromatic rear view mirror and aluminum pedal covers. Hands down, the best part of driving the car is the looks people give you. Young and old, all types admired the torch red car at stop lights. Who should buy the 2008 Shelby GT500 KR Mustang:

Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe
Tue, Mar 8 2016This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
