Look Out For The Faster Horse

Look Out For The Faster Horse

Mustang Fans this is a movie not to be missed - As we first reported earlier this year, “A Faster Horse” is a documentary that follows the designers, engineers and board room executives through the entire planning, redesign and development of the sixth-generation S550 Mustang. David Gelb is a graduate from the USC's film school and is known for a film about Sushi - Yes Sushi - Don't ask;

Well now he has turned to his film making skills to capture the much loved and long-standing American muscle car: the Mustang, the crown jewel of the Ford fleet. "A Faster Horse" goes behind the scenes at Ford Motor to show the demanding process behind the creation of the 2015 Mustang. The redesign of the brand had a lot riding on it, both in terms of the jobs at stake and the reaction of fans to any tweaking of the iconic ride. Filmed mostly in 2014, "A Faster Horse" was born from conversations between Alessandro Uzielli, the head of Ford Motor's Global Entertainment Brand, and producers Nigel Sinclair and Glen Zipper on a cinematic way to mark Mustang's 50th birthday.

The new Mustang as we all know spurred a sales boom for Ford and got great reviews from the automotive press, infact it was named the Detroit Free Press Car of the Year.

This project was funded by Ford Motor Company who actually agreed not to have any direct creative input into how the documentry movie was made - It looks like a very well made docu-film and we are all looking forward to seeing it - How about you ?

Update: Release Date on this is set for October 8th according to IMDB

Official Job 1 on First Production Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R

Official Job 1 on First Production Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R

By Evan J. Smith

Since 1965, Shelby Mustangs have played a key role in the history of the Ford Mustang. And today, Ford produced the very first production 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustangs, marking a return of the storied GT350. Our cameras were on hand as Chassis F0001 was driven off the Flat Rock, Michigan assembly line by Bill Ford Jr. This very Mustang, finished in white with blue stripes, will go to the high bidder from the Barrett-Jackson winter auction. Amazingly, the gavel fell at $1,000,000! More importantly, proceeds from the sale of the charity GT350R will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). This marks the Ford Official Job 1 on First Production Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R

“This is a special day for all Mustang enthusiasts,” said Mr. Ford. “We have taken the GT350 formula to the next level of innovation, style and performance. Today the legend continues.”

Brothers Performance is excited about this landmark Mustang, and we can’t wait for enthusiasts to dig into the 5.2 liter Voodoo V8. Of course, at 526 horsepower, Ford has pushed the limits of engine development with high compression, big cams and rpm, as this baby spins past 8,000! But the aftermarket always packs surprises and we’re anxious to see how far this animal can be pushed. It's only a matter of time before someone slaps turbos on there.

While a slew of prototype Shelby GT350s have been built in the last few months, today marks Job 1 and the actual start of the production models. This is a big day for an automaker, and it’s clearly a special one for Ford, as this is an icon in the making. The GT350 is slathered with so many features that are sure keep the Mustang ahead of the pack, including the flat-plane crankshaft, Magneride suspension, carbon-fiber wheels and the detail such as the amazing seats, sick sounding exhaust and all the electronic wizardry.

Along with 526 ground-pounding ponies, the GT350 has a sinister look, world-class handling, and we hear it’s already pounded the Z/28 into the ground with much quicker track numbers. As for quarter-mile times, we’re expecting to powershift our way to quick E.T’s once we get our hands on one. We’ve even heard the GT350R is as quick as a much more expensive Porsche GT3 around a road course.

The hype has certainly been built for Ford’s latest Mustang, and with the prestige and success of the original 1965 Shelby GT350, this model has big shoes to fill. Ford hit a home run with the 2005-2015 Shelby GT500, and we’re banking that the GT350 will share the same success. Check back next week as we share our first drive report and more details about the 2015/2016 Shelby GT350 and the GT350R.

Roush Cold Air Intakes Kits For 2015 Mustang

Roush Cold Air Intakes Kits For 2015 Mustang

A cold air intake is arguably the most common bolt-on modification for any performance Mustang enthusiast. It’s rare to come across even a lightly-modified Mustang that hasn’t had one installed So what’s the hype? Why is it one of the first modifications that Mustang owners choose to purchase and install? The answer is simple – it’s the first step to unlocking untapped potential regardless of the power plant under your hood. They’re also reasonably priced and super easy to install. And now, with ROUSH’s new line-up of Cold Air Intake Kits for the 2015 Ford Mustang, you have an even better reason to add one to your list of modifications.

Just recently, we put each of the Roush 2015 Ford Mustang Cold Air Intakes to the test on our dyno and we have the resulting real-world horsepower and torque increase numbers for you! Mustangs equipped with the 5.0L power plant saw gains of around 10.4 horsepower and 8.54 lb-ft of torque, while the V6’s power output increased by 10.52 horsepower and 9.8 lb-ft of torque. Finally, the Mustang’s EcoBoost four-cylinder engine saw incredible power gains of up to 29.6 horsepower and 27.89 lb-ft of torque.

So how do Cold Air Intakes work? Cold air is denser than warm air – molecules are closer together in cold air, meaning there is more oxygen in a specific unit of cold air than there is in the same unit of warm air. To be clear, it’s oxygen that your engine needs to burn fuel efficiently, not air. In turn, greater cold airflow unlocks a higher potential for power and fuel efficiency. Think of it this way – when you walk outside in cool weather, it’s easy to take a deep breath of air, but when you walk outside on a hot day, the air feels thicker and it might seem to be more difficult to take a deep breath. Your engine breathes in much the same way as you and I do.

That being said, ROUSH Performance’s Cold Air Kits WILL help your 2015 Mustang breathe better – whether you opted for an EcoBoost, V6, or V8. For the first time, these kits utilize something called ROUSH “Dry” Filter technology. The reusable filters are built and proven to retain their shape under high airflow, and are composed of inner and outer layers of wire mesh to guarantee durability and reliable support of the double layers of media within. Each layer of media does a separate job: the outermost layer is composed of specifically-designed synthetic needle-felt polyester designed for wet and dry filtration to capture any major contaminants, and the inner layer is made of wet-laid/chemical bonded rayon/polyester, to capture remaining contaminants. All of this filtering might lead you to believe that airflow is restricted, but this is not the case at all – in fact, the filter offers less restriction than comparable kits, as well as a reduction in pressure drop.

Along with increasing the performance of your Mustang, ROUSH Cold Air Kits will slightly change your Mustang’s rumble or engine sound, and they look much sleeker than the stock air box under the hood.

These ROUSH Mustang Cold Air Kits are engineered and tested to ensure that calibration changes are not necessary, and factory mounting locations, emissions, hardware, and vacuum lines are utilized to allow for easy installation. As always, 2015 ROUSH Mustang Cold Air Kits are protected by a 90-day ROUSH Parts Warranty. The air filter with the clamp, injection-molded lower air box/tray with installed EPDM foam hood seal, Blow Molded clean air tubes, heat extractor foam insert, and all required mounting hardware are included with the kit, which is proudly manufactured in the USA.

Now you know the benefits of installing a ROUSH Cold Air Kit on your Mustang (we also offer F-150 cold air intakes) so you can make an educated purchase.

Just remember, these kits do NOT fit ROUSH supercharged vehicles. Click Here To See our 2015 Roush Cold Air Intake Kits Available To Ship August 3rd 2015
