  • Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman

    Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman

    Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman

     

    According to a study by SplashData, “Mustang” ranks as the 16th most common password on the Internet in 2014. This makes Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman and many other commonly used passwords. Superman placed 21st, Batman was close behind in 24th, according to a recent study. SplshData specializes in password management on the Internet.

    Interestingly, Ford Mustang is the only car to crack the top 25 most common Internet passwords — but does that really surprise you? Chalk this up as another win for America’s most iconic pony car.

    “We’re flattered people want to use ‘mustang’ as their password, but alone, it just isn’t strong enough to be secure,” said Keith Moss, Ford Director of Cyber Security. “We encourage people to use ‘mustang,’ but we recommend they strengthen their password by mixing upper and lower case letters, numbers, acronyms and symbols to make it unique.”

    Adding letters, numbers, acronyms and symbols to your favorite pony car-inspired code for sign-in will help strengthen your password. Making Mustang one of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman, is a major credit to Ford Motor Company, and the Mustang as an honest staple of pop culture. Enthusiasts speak of the Mustang as so much more than just a car. Mustang brings people together, but the growth will continue as the Mustang goes global this year.

    According to Ford, here are a few suggestions for strengthening your “mustang” password: Add numbers to make it your own secret code (this may be your favorite Mustang model year, year you bought your Mustang, or year you sold the car). Incorporate Mustang option codes, paint codes, engine codes, or digits from your VIN. Create acronyms for modifications made to your Mustang (BBKStang, JMStang, EcoStang, etc.). Or you could include your favorite driving road, or race track.

    Of course, using the same password on all websites is never a good idea. Ford recommends using a password manager to help keep your Mustang-related passwords organized and easy-to-access. This allows you to keep things “Mustang-themed” but secure at the same time.

  • Gear Your Ford Mustang For Better Performance

     

     

     

     

    If there’s one thing all late-model Mustangs have, it’s that adding numerically higher gears will help acceleration and make your car faster. So why not check out Brothers Performance’s selection of rear end ratios and Gear Your Ford Mustang for Better Performance.

    Ford used a variety of rear end ratios in the Mustang depending on year and model. Many Fox body Mustang came equipped with a 2.73:1 ratio, 3.08s were optional. It was quite common for enthusiasts to swap in a 3.55, 3.73 and 4.10 gears, while more hardcore racers went for 4.30, 4.56 and 4.88 gears. The highest ratio for the Ford 8.8 is a 5.14.

    Brothers Performance offers virtually all the Ford Racing gear ratios, and you can purchase just the gears or a complete kit with Ford Racing Gears, Ford Racing 8.8 inch Ring and Pinion Installation Kit (M-4210-B2), Redline Synthetic 75W90 Gear Oil, and Ford Racing Friction Modifier (M-19546-A12).

    Numerically taller gears provide increased torque multiplication and this greatly improves acceleration. For instance, swapping from 3.31 gears (in a 2005-2010 Mustang GT) to 3.73 gears, can knock as much as four tenths (.40) of a second off your quarter-mile time! The extra torque multiplication also gives you greater mid-range response and helps the engine accelerate much more quickly. With Ford parts you’re getting quality, as these gears are manufactured to the same tolerances and at the same plant as your factory Mustang gears which are designed to last over 100,000 miles.

    To increase strength and ensure durability, the gears are heat-treated gears and feature beveled edges to eliminate tooth chipping and gear failure. The installation kit includes the high torque pinion bearing known as the Bullitt bearing that is factory equipment on GT500 Mustangs to handle the increased torque and rpm.

    Changing your Mustang's gear ratio will alter the calibration of the speedometer and requires the use of a different speedometer gear or recalibrating tool such as an SCT Power Flash Tuner.

  • First Ever 2016 Shelby GT350R Ford Mustang sold for $1,000,000

    First Ever 2016 Shelby GT350R Ford Mustang sold for $1,000,000

     

    Ford Motor Company CEO Mark Fields created a thunder at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona last night when he approached the auction stage and cracked the throttle on the Shelby GT350R. The first ever Shelby GT350R Ford Mustang sold for $1,000,000, and Ford donated the entire amount to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

     

    Fields spoke briefly about the charity and the special Mustang and then he stated he would personally hand over the keys to the winning bidder at Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. The winning bidder of Shelby GT350R number 001 can also select from any available color and options.

     

    The bidding shot past $500,000, then climbed slowly to a million. Fans and bidders saw a white Shelby GT350R with blue stripes, which was not actually Number 001, but that didn’t bother anyone. Finally, the “hammer” dropped at an even one million dollars! It was later announced that as much as $150,000 was also raised in charitable donations.

    The Ford Performance lineup is pretty amazing. The Ford Performance lineup is pretty amazing.

     

     

    While Ford announced the GT350 just months ago, the more-radical GT350R model was introduced less than a week ago at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Ford also announced it would produce the Ford GT and an EcoBoost-powered Raptor F-150 with “more horsepower than the existing 411-horsepower V8.” No other auto manufacturer drew such attention at the NAIAS.

    Ford's 2016 Shelby GT350R looks to rule the street and track with over 500 hp. Ford's 2016 Shelby GT350R looks to rule the street and track with over 500 hp.

     

     

    The GT350 and the lighter R-model, are powered by a 5.2 liter V8, dubbed the “Voodoo,” that is said to rev past 8,000 rpm and produce over 500 horsepower. We’re speculating it will make at least one horsepower per liter. Unlike most V8 engines built in America, it features a flat-plane crankshaft (rather than a cross-plane crankshaft), which saves weight, allows the engine to rev very quickly. The design can improve induction and exhaust flow, due to the firing order that’s unique to this type of crankshaft. The R-model also wears carbon-fiber wheels and a state-of-the-art suspension. Performance should surpass the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.
