F-35 Mustang Concept To Be Auctioned

F-35 Mustang Concept To Be Auctioned

This fighter jet plane concept has been done on a few Mustangs over the years and now the 2015 Ford Mustang GT F-35 Lightning II themed concept car is the latest to show off the great new lines of the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. This car will push out the standard naturally aspirated 435 horsepower at the flywheel - but it is the really cool stealthy design and colors that will catch everyones eye when it is auctioned off for charity at the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual Gathering of Eagles charity event in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Proceeds of the aution will go to a program that helps get young kids interested in aviation. We really like the colors used especially the yellow window tint, wonder if its legal?

Update August 7th 2014 This Car sold for over $200,000

2015 Ford Mustang Specs Released

2015 Ford Mustang Specs Released

After much speculation Ford have released their official production power and weight specifications, along with some other production information. The New 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated new car releases in recent history as Ford get set to sell the iconic pony car across America to the global masses. One of the most interesting engine options for us here at Brothers Performance is the new 2.3 liter inline 4 cylinder Eco-Boost that will pump out 310 Horsepower and 320 ft-lb of torque. Compare that to the V6 option that will produce 300 horsepower and 280 ft-lb of torque, pretty healthy numbers for both considering that 20 years ago the 5.0 V8 Mustangs were only barely pushing 225 Horsepower. Both engine options offer approximately the same power to weight ratio and actual front to rear weight distribution is Fords best ever for a Mustang and will be 52 front/ 48 rear, so both would appear to promise impressive performance and handling.

Our choice here would be the Eco boost option based on the relative ease of power improvements that this engine will offer. The twin scroll turbo promises quick throttle response across the RPM range by maximizing the exhaust pulse energy in a single turbo set up. This little four banger is already pushing out 135 horsepower per liter and we know that tuners and aftermarket manufacturers can’t wait to get their hands on this to see how much more power can be spun out of this potent addition to the Mustang line up.
The other engine option is the impressive and solid 5.0 Coyote V8 that is pretty much the same engine spec’d by Ford since 2011. Compression remains at 11:1 but the S550’s cylinder heads are redesigned for better breathing without the need expensive CNC porting and the intake ports are revised for larger valves. The camshafts that are now good for 13mm exhaust lift (even more that the Boss cams) and the Intake manifold has some modification and design revisions to the charge motion control valves that maximize combustion efficiency for better MPG.
We are excited to see the first road tests and featured articles in print and on TV/Youtube as soon as the first production Mustangs roll off the assembly line, and we will bring those to you here on our news blog – Check out the other specs and information released by Ford below.

2015 Mustang Will Debut Sync Plus 911

2015 Mustang Will Debut Sync Plus 911

911 Assist™ is a subscription-free emergency feature included in more than 7 million Ford vehicles equipped with SYNC® technology; with the customer’s consent, it helps connect vehicle occupants directly to a local 911 operator following an airbag deployment or if the fuel supply shuts off
Enhancements to 911 Assist, debuting on the 2015 Ford Mustang, will provide dispatchers with additional information beyond available GPS coordinates, including a crash description and safety belt usage
When introduced in 2008, 911 Assist was the industry’s first automotive technology to call 911 directly following a crash instead of relaying calls through a third party, saving valuable time
New Ford SYNC® 911 Assist™ features debuting on the 2015 Ford Mustang will offer emergency dispatchers more potentially vital information to better inform first responders en route to an accident.

“911 Assist uses a mobile phone connected to SYNC to call 911 directly when needed,” said David Hatton, global product leader and electrical engineer, Ford Connected Services. “With enhanced data, the system will provide even more detail about a crash to aid in the dispatch of the appropriate resources.”

For example, if a dispatcher knows that both front safety belts were fastened at the time of a high-speed collision, he or she may decide to send an additional ambulance directly to the scene. Safety belt monitoring varies based on the airbag systems in the vehicle. Continue reading →
