The car you're looking at is a 2012 Ford Mustang GT Premium Coupe.  In fact, this is now a Roush Stage 2 Mustang that features enhancements to the exterior styling as well as the handling package via a host of carefully-selected Roush upgrades. The car is fully-loaded with more than $10,000 in Roush goodies and also comes with an Escort protection package, including a custom-installed Passport 9500ci radar and laser defense system, and more. THE TOTAL STICKER PRICE WITH ALL EXTRAS IS OVER $52,000!  Reserve price is WAY below the original price.

So, in addition to the Passport 9500ci radar and laser defense system with integrated display, Escort has outfitted the 'Stang with its QuickStart remote start and security system, which allows you to start, track and secure the vehicle from a smartphone, iPhone control interface and/or security key fob. The vehicle is also equipped with Escort's SEMA Award-winning SmartCord Live technology that uses the Escort Live network and version 2.0 app, which works with iOS and Android smartphones and provides many of the features in the radar detector connected version, including red light and speed camera alerts, speed trap locations, live traffic (iPhone), voice alerts and more.

And, it's a good thing the car is equipped with said devices because, although stage two is considered middle ground by Roush standards, the Mustang GT's 5.0 V8 already makes 412 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque and accelerates from zero-to-60 mph in about 4.5 seconds.

Styling upgrades include Roush's sixth-generation R6 “aerobody package,” which, in the front, consists of a new upper grille, high-flow lower grille, corner fascia aero pockets with driving lamps and a front chin splitter. The Roush rocker panels and rear fascia side splitters give the car a more aggressive, lowered stance punctuated in the rear with a three-piece rear decklid spoiler. Also in the back is a new rear aero valance that features race-inspired diffusers and integrates Roush's new dual-chambered chrome exhaust tips. Rounding out the exterior is a suite of Roush “R” and “Stage 2” badges. Inside, embroidered floor mats, a center console button and dash medallion help identify this as a special vehicle; Jack Roush's signature graphic can be seen on the dash and under the hood on a serialized Stage 2 plaque.

Roush chassis engineers have spent thousands of hours developing and testing to create a performance handling package that includes a larger, stiffer front stabilizer bar, twin-tube shocks with unique valving and increased spring rates. Furthermore, new bushings and a unique upper control arm translate to better contact and grip for the 18x10-inch cast aluminum five-spoke wheels with sticky Cooper RS3 ultra high-performance summer rubber.

“For more than three decades, the Escort and Beltronics brands have always signaled the very best driving technology available for radar and laser ticket protection,” said John Larson, Escort president and CEO. “We have established a history of going the extra mile to do more for our customers than anyone else – now we are putting someone in their very own 2012 Escort-equipped Roush Mustang.”

This car was the featured car at the Escort booth at SEMA for 2011 and 2012.  There are tons of pictures and videos of the car widely available documenting it's history on both Google and YouTube.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet

Tue, May 9 2017

When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:

China's rise, global restructuring wither GM's Korea division

Wed, Jan 7 2015

An article in the Daily Kanban suggests the sun is setting on GM Korea, and it could already be well into dusk. GM Korea came about when General Motors, along with co-investors SAIC and Suzuki, bought Daewoo Motors from parent company Daewoo Group in 2001; it had a previous tie-up with GM, a joint venture that ended in 1992, although Daewoo cars were based on GM cars until 1996. Over the decade following the purchase, it became such an important part of operations that it was renamed GM Korea in 2011, "to reflect its heightened status in [the] global operations of GM." Just two years later, the printed rumors were that the subsidiary responsible for a fifth of Chevrolet's global production could be shutting down. The division's sales were down almost 21 percent through November of last year, counting domestic South Korean sales, exports, and CKD – Complete Knock Down – products. That makes the labor strife, already an issue for four years, even more acute, reports say the subsidiary will lose $36 million a year if it can't get the job and wage cuts it wants, and government concessions can't make up for the losses. And it gets worse, so head over to Daily Kanban to read the rest of the story.
