For sale is
a 1996 Mustang GT, Dark Green color, that has been heavily modified for track
day, HPDE and SCCA Solo 1/2 use. It has seen many laps with Chin Motorsports,
SCCA and MCA at Sebring, Homestead, Roebling, Road Atlanta, and Virginia
International Raceway, as well as Solo 1 events in Gainesville, FL and many
Solo 2 events with SCCA Central Florida Region. The car has
only had 1 owner since late 1997 - me. I bought it completely stock, and have
selected and overseen all of the modifications, which are many and took place
over many years as I progressed the car from a daily driver to track-only use.
It has been stripped of a good deal of weight, upgraded in power, suspension
and stiffness, can burn through 1st and 2nd gears in full peel yet rip through
turns in the Sebring or Road Atlanta Esses like a tuned M3. Below is a list of
the performance upgrades this car currently has: Engine & Power: Superchips Red

side mounts Sparco 6-point harnesses Sparco Harness Bar Sparco 383 Competition Steering Wheel Carpet, rear seats, interior side panels in trunk, back seat and door panels all removed for weight Truth be told, I love this car, and wish I didn't need to sell it. Circumstances with family, work and finances and my free time are such that this thoroughly enjoyable track car has not actually been back to the track in several years, and I finally decided that it's better for someone else who wants to have a great deal of racing fun to take it and put it on the track again than to keep it sitting in the driveway, only turning over every couple of months to drive around the neighborhood. This car really wants to run. When I last had it tuned on a dyno and updated the Superchips Red chip, she put out 269 RWHP with 299 torque... and that was before many more upgrades and the weight removal, which now give even more effect to that power train. Instructors who rode in the right seat were impressed with the car on track - it's a nice HPDE sleeper, for sure. The car body does need a little exterior love: the Florida sun has finally gotten to the roof paint, and the outside curb of Turn 3 at Sebring took off my bumper splitter lip a few sessions before her last track day, so I sawed it off flat and ran without that little 2" lip the last few HPDEs I attended; I honestly didn't notice any difference. Minor scratches and dings from track day use are present, but overall the car looks great, and drives wonderfully - especially when you're pushing it. Note: this car is for sale locally as well, so please contact me to inquire about coming to see it. Since it's a track car that I've managed to keep tagged, I won't be willing to drive it to meet further than a mile away at the most - cops do tend to look harder at it with the low profile and obvious sound. Note: mileage listed above is approximate, as the odometer gear recently stopped suddenly. To see some more pictures of the car, view my Orlando (FL) Craigslist post here (opens in new tab/window). |

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Ford Focus PHEV on the way?
Tue, Jan 21 2014A refreshed Ford Focus is in the works and that means a few details are leaking out. Spy shots from last month indicated the Focus will have a gaping grille just like its "One Ford" global C-segment comrade, the Fiesta. While Ford is being quiet about it, the Focus could also be getting an "Energi" option, joining the C-Max Energi and Fusion Energi in Ford's plug-in hybrid family. The Focus will likely use technology originated in the C-Max Energi that combines a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor capable of a 20-mile range, according to Autoexpress. The pure electric Focus is expected to stay in the lineup despite its slow sales; its price range should be similar to what's on the market now. The third-generation Focus looked good enough to become the top-selling nameplate in the world in 2012. Some exterior changes to look for in the Euro-spec model at the Geneva Motor Show in March include a reshaped hood, front wing endplate and rear bumper. Interior spy shots have hinted at an updated dashboard design and a simplified, less cluttered control panel with updated climate controls. Under the hood, there are quite a few power options rumored to be available - a gasoline EcoBoost with up to 123 horsepower and two turbo-diesel TDCI options, a 1.6-liter or 2.0-liter mills that would produce between 94 hp and 161 hp. Then there are new 1.5-liter diesel and 1.5-liter EcoBoost gasoline variants that meet regulations in China, Brazil and Russia.
