Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed goes drifting with the help of Vaughn Gittin Jr. [w/video]


Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed arrive in stores on 29 Bind to March and all you may have about gamers by then, the NFS team together to make a video about the features that make it a must-have for racing sim fans share. Whether you prefer smooth corners or join to destroy rubber sideways in a fit of gimmicks, Shift 2 Unleashed has you covered.

The drifting aspect of the game was locked down with the help of Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his 2011 Ford Mustang GT Formula Drift race. The game offers a unique view Helmet Cam, the driver's "eyes"where they would go in real life locations. A road racer will look like the top of a train, but a drifter is rigid from the side windows - these two types are made for the game, and the result looks pretty amazing.


First Drive: 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302


The Trans-Am series of the late 1960s and early 1970s could be considered the golden era of American motorsports. Not only did it showcase the most desirable American cars of the time, but it featured some of the world's greatest racing drivers engaging in this country's own brand of fender-banging racing.

It's why Ford is so proud of the Boss 302, winner of the 1970 Trans-Am season with legendary driver Parnelli Jones behind the wheel, and why the street car has become a legend. But ask Jim Farley, Ford's head honcho of marketing, about the 2012 Mustang Boss 302, and he'll tell you that it's not just about building a remake of the original. "This is not a nostalgia project," he told us. "This is not in any way trying to bring back the Boss. This project is so much more than that. If we wanted to do that we could take a 5.0-liter, put some stripes and spoilers and other upgrades on it and that would be it. It was not a means to an end. The Boss 302 was originally a means to an end. It was a production car to go racing. This is a completely different project. We were not going to do this project unless we could beat an M3 at this track." This track being the famed Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

With Bavaria's best sportscar in it sights, did Ford achieve its goal of building a modern day legend, or is the 2012 Boss 302 simply another one of the infinite variations of the Ford Mustang? Ford invited us out to Monterey for a full day with the car, including some track time at Laguna Seca, and we have the answer.

Video: Ford Mustang owners gather in Poland, create amazing mini movie


It is easy to dismiss the muscle car phenomenon than a fluke of American excess. With our miles of open highway and sinfully cheap gasoline, the cost was high-horsepower V8 engine is a creation that could only come from our neck of the woods. That does not mean, do not know the rest of the world to appreciate our contribution to the history of the automobile. Just search for Ford Mustang in the thriving town in Poland.

That's right, Poland.

A group of dedicated car enthusiasts pony recently met meet for a small and happened to cook one of the best fan videos we've ever laid my eyes. There are many special edition Mustangs in the mix, including at least one Bullitt, a Shelby GT500 and even a P-51 Edition. But these horses are not all standing around in a parking lot somewhere. Oh, no. Instead, the owner is set to send their rear tires spinning in the best manner possible, and there are a lot of smoke high-definition tires to go. Hit the jump to the patch test itself. Has tips for Brent and Mateusz!

ESPN: Ford submits Mustang for 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup approval


Forget the Fusion, Ford makes a move to the Mustang for Nascar Sprint Cup Series to bring. Ford NASCAR informed decision that it wants to start the race Mustang in the top left-handed racing.
Replacing the fusion is a process that could last all year, and Ford will be required to show that the Mustang a competitive car it is the same race against will. The reason for the move is that the fans are demanding a car right from the showroom floor, they see on television every weekend mimics can now wants to show.
As fans of the round Roundy are already known, the Blue Oval is already a Mustang race in the NASCAR stock car - in the Busch Series. The pony car is shown above its competition debut last July at the U-Bahn Jalapeno 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
We do not understand you can buy exactly the same Mustang that is hunting down rival drivers in every county. In fact, we already know that you will not be able to purchase something like a Sprint Cup Mustang for the street. But Ford knows that millions of people tune in and show their favorite drivers and brand support. At least on some level by the Mustang into the mix makes more sense, as the production car looks real driving thrills for their owners. Moreover, in contrast to the merger, it is actually used in a coupe body style in NASCAR.
Now ... If we succeed in the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge bring to show up with the Challenger, we could be on the verge of something special. Thanks for the tip, JR!

Video: 2011 Shelby GT350 coupe smokes some meats with Hot Rod


Hot Rod has recently been busy filming his Shelby Cobra Super Snake versus video, but that does not mean there was not a break. The break in the action ... led to more action, because someone at Shelby gave the Hot Rod crew buttons a 2011 GT350.

Do they have a couple of runs casual and down the street, to get some basic stuff? No, they are fed, the car on a deserted side street and tried to ruin the rear rubber. To turn on their way back to the original film, they threw in a quick slide power for good measure. Let the clutch out and then pass directly to the check-out of the clip.
