FERRARI- 599 GTO -AWESOME CAR

Even though we brought you the spy shots ahead of the official release, seeing the final product makes us tingle. Horsepower is now at a ZR1 beating 661, while weight is down 430 lbs. to 3,295, which is actually lighter than the ZR1. Top speed is also increased to a nice 208 mph, while 0-60 is achieved in 3.35 secs. Hot damn.
Yea, so it’s extremely rare (599 units) and obscenely expensive (about $460,000) but for the looks and the speed, we’d pony up in a second.

The new 2010 Ford Mustang, modestly updated mechanically but totally restyled inside and out, may just be the car that will make or break the struggling Detroit automaker. The modern interpretation of the classic pony car is even more sharp and striking than the well-received 2005-2009 Ford Mustang model, and it couldn't come at a better time.

Under the hood, the 2010 Mustang gets a modest power bump to 315 horsepower and 325 lb-ft. of torque in GT trim. A reworked suspension evolved from the suspension given to the Mustang Bullit special edition from the the current generation should provide a boost through the twisties, though sports car buyers will still be dismayed to hear that the next generation 2010 Mustang still does not get an independant suspension in the back.

From many angles, the 2010 Mustang body is a big improvement over the already beautiful current model. Creases are sharper and more pronounced, and if the outgoing car echos the styling of the classic 64 1/4 Mustang, the 2010 Ford-saver echoes the 1967 Mustang.

The same kind words can't be said, though, for the rear deck and taillight assembly. What is said to be an attempt to add visual interest and an extension of the main body line comes off looking like the 2010 Mustang got clipped by a raised truck in each rear corner in a parking lot somewhere.

Still, styling opinions are relative and the total 2010 Ford Mustang package is a visual success. Interior materials are much upgrades, and if the leather in consumer cars looks as supple as that in official Ford images, Mustang buyers are in for a treat.

The 2010 Mustang will be available in mid-2009 and will compete directly with the new Chevrolet Camaro. To stave off bankruptcy, Ford is pulling out all the stops. The new Mustang spells good things for the future of the American auto industry
