Pole Dance: NHTSA to add new side-impact crash test? [w/VIDEO]

Not satisfied with cars that manage crash forces well enough to avoid spilling your drink, and engines that run so clean they'll barely asphyxiate ants, a new crash test is reportedly coming in the works from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Along with the test will come new dummies and new testing equipment, all of which means it's likely to have a big impact on future car designs.

VIDEO: Latest '10 Unleashed winner gets his rally on 18 days ago on Autoblog

We don't think of the Ford Mustang as a rally car. In fact, a Mustang doing anything but drag racing doesn't represent its customer base very well, but that doesn't mean we don't like to see it compete in all kinds of motorsports. So who would turn a brand new 2010 Ford Mustang into a rally ...

2010 Hurst Mustang debuts as droptop pace car 1 month ago on Autoblog

We've seen a rendering of the 2010 Hurst Mustang pace car, but this is the first time we're seeing the car in the flesh pixels. And... not bad at all. Sure, perhaps the wheels are a bit much, but we love the stripes. The basket handle doesn't even look too bad and at least it's functional ...

Roush unleashes 540-horsepower Stage 3 and 540RH Mustangs 2 months ago on Autoblog

We had very few bad things to say about the 2010 Roush 427R Mustang after spending a week with the car, but we did have a few questions. First, why not use the new TVS2300 supercharger system that debuted on the P-51A Mustang, and second, why not add a billet grille like the previous model so ...
