Rare 2012 Roush Stage 2 Gt Premium Escort Sema Show Car on 2040-cars
Mundelein, Illinois, United States
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. http://www.escortradar.com/pr_SEMA-102912.php http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012_SEMA_Show/ESCORT_Radar/prweb10062886.htm

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
