Track Car - 1996 Mustang Gt With Many Upgrades (see Description) on 2040-cars
Saint Cloud, Florida, United States
|
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). |

Ford driving Alaskan maniac rams toddler-carrying SUV
Mon, Jul 25 2016A couple from Anchorage had a frightening traffic encounter when they were followed and repeatedly rammed by a stranger in a pickup truck. Grace Bernert, her boyfriend, and his two-year-old daughter were returning home from a trip to downtown Anchorage when they noticed a blue, 2001 Ford F-150 following closely behind them. "The guy was so close, we couldn't see his headlights," Bernert told KTVA. Bernert, who was riding shotgun, pulled out her phone to record the truck when it struck the rear end of their Acura SUV. That's when she called 911. Bernert's boyfriend tried to lose the F-150 in the Sullivan Arena parking lot, then drove to a local Ford dealer's parking lot where he drove through a maze of new Ford pickups in an attempt to shake their assailant. "We started doing circles around the brand new Fords because we thought the truck wouldn't be able to turn as fast as we would," said Bernert. "We were right, but the guy didn't care. He just kept hitting the new fords and backing up, coming after us." The truck continued to follow them, ramming the Acura again and again. Bernert estimates that F-150 driver struck their SUV between five and seven times, and hit numerous new trucks in the dealership parking lot. Eventually, they ducked into a nearby neighborhood where they managed to lose the F-150 and called 911. Bernert told KTVA that she believes they were targeted but doesn't know why. "The guy was either some random sick person who didn't care, or somebody who knew us and didn't care there was a kid in the car," she said. Anchorage Police arrived shortly after the couple escaped the F-150 and filed a report about the incident. They are currently investigating. Recent Video:
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
