600 HP in Four Hours – ProCharger 2011 Mustang 5-liter Install
powerTV Media
So what’s better than a car that comes with over 400 horsepower from the factory? How about one that you can convert to over 600 horsepower in about four hours? No smoke and mirrors here folks, these are real numbers that anyone is able to achieve. I will stop speaking in tongues and get to the point. We just finished installing ProCharger’s brand new 2011 Mustang GT 5-liter kit and we picked up an astonishing 164 rear wheel horsepower with the aforementioned seven pounds of boost. Best part of all, you don’t have to cut a single thing to get the kit to fit properly. Read on for the full scoop.

Video: Fastlane’s Turbo 5.0 2011 Mustang Makes 543 RWHP
powerTV Media
The new 5.0 liter engine from Ford is proving to be a hot commodity among aftermarket shops. By itself the engine makes 412 horsepower and 390 ft-lbs of torque. Let a bunch of aftermarket specialists at it and you better be prepared for some seriously impressive torque numbers. And the engine is surprising even the most optimistic engineers.
Why just 6 psi you ask? Well the new 5.0 has a very high compression of 11.0:1. Forced induction is a fan of low compression engines (usually around 9.0:1 or even lower) which allows the engine to run higher psi. For an otherwise stock engine though, those are some great numbers. Fastlane makes a similar kit for the 2010 Camaro, which through an automatic transmission makes around 530 whp. That 5.0 looks better and better every day.

5.0 Six-Speed Mustang
Atomicalex
Last week, I popped into the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress to talk to the sheet metal peeps about making fenders. While I was there, I checked out Ford’s Ride’n'Drive, which included the all-new 5.0-powered six-speed manual transmission Mustang. So…. Power? Gobs. Snickety-snick ultra-tight shifter? Entire pattern fits in a sticky note. Feather-light clutch? You got it. Suspension and steering? This ain’t your daddy’s Mustang. Incredible awesomeness? More than you can possibly imagine. I hooned it out a bit on the Lodge and 375, and was so blown away that I forgot to take a picture of it. If there was any concern that environmentalism was killing the horsepower wars, forget it. It’s not happening. Ford scores again. This Mustang is better than your wildest dreams.

Vaughn Gittin JR and His 2011 Ford Mustang GT Are Ready to Rock
By John Naderi
StreetFire.net
Was it all a dream or possibly a fantasy perhaps? We just got back from a star-studded Hollywood-style premiere. But the star attraction was not some coked out, starved-for-attention starlet (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but one of our favorite drifters introducing his all-new competition car for the 2010 Formula Drift series. Hit the jump to see more up skirt shots of this sexy beast.

Yellow Paint
Atomicalex
Rob and I don’t agree about this yellow paint on the new Mustang 5.0. There’s a long history of yellow Mustangs, and there’s even a fan club for them. I love this pearl yellow, Rob thinks it’s not so hot. Of course, I don’t like the yellow on the Lexus LF-CH, but Rob thinks that works. See another pic of the ‘Stang and a pic of the Lexus nastiness after the jump, and tell us what you think.
