I don't blame you there at all. The Philippines without A/C can be brutal.

Default Saleen Rolls Out First White Label 302 Mustangs


Click here view more photos


The first 2015 Saleen 302 Mustangs are now shipping from their factory in Corona, California. These are the entry-level 302 Mustang White Label versions, which will later be followed by the Yellow and Black Label models.

These Mustang GT's are fitted with an awesome 'SALEEN' rear panel and 20" Panasport wheels, to go with the new grille, quarter window trim and trademark Saleen deck-lid wing for additional downforce.

Even though the White Label is, let's say, the least impressive label, it does include upgraded suspension, with new springs and anti-roll bars. Under the hood there's a 5.0 liter V8 featuring a Saleen ECU calibration, kicking the power up to 450 HP. As for the transmission, you can go with the 6-speed manual or the optional 6-speed auto.

The interior is also customized in pure Saleen fashion - which is one of our favorite Mustang interiors we have to say. They've got one of the coolest logos on the market.

Steve Saleen, the CEO of the company stated that "These are the best Mustangs I have ever built. We are in for a thrill ride as this car will take us to levels we have never seen before."

With a price of $42,754, the 2015 Saleen 302 White Label Mustang is quite the catch. The mid and top of the line Yellow ($53,720) and Black Label ($62,362) versions are set to come out this March.

Default ROUSH Exhaust Kit Will Spice Up Your EcoBoost 2015 Mustang


Getting your hands on a Mustang is a thrilling experience. Especially from an ownership perspective. Even the mid range 2.3 liter EcoBoost version with its 310 HP and 433Nm (320 lb-ft) of torque can pack enough of a punch.

But what about the noise? Can you get your muscle car kicks from a 4 cylinder engine? Is it even possible? Well, no, not really. As you can see from the clip, it will sound just like your average 2.5 liter 4 cylinder Toyota Camry when revved. It's a fact of life.

Even the entry level, slightly cheaper Mustang V6 Fastback sounds a lot better. It's a V6! And these are all factory exhausts we're talking about. But fear not, you can always go for a ROUSH Performance exhaust system, and once you play the video and hear how sweet it sounds even on a 4 cylinder unit, you'll understand why they've chosen to always spell their company name in all-caps. We should add a couple of exclamation points too and have it say 'ROUSH!!'

On their website, ROUSH say that their exhaust uses factory mounting points and will fit to both V6 and EcoBoost Mustangs without additional modifications or weldings. The exhaust kit features ROUSH designed single tip high-flow mufflers, corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel, full mandrel bending and 4" flash-chromed dual wall tips.

The end result, your exhaust system will sound much better with a deeper tone and idle and a more aggressive sound at high revs.

Default Ford Mustang Speed Dating is a Funny Valentine's Day Prank


Since Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, Ford set up a speed dating event, but not the one you would expect.

As part of an elaborate prank, Ford asked some unsuspecting guys to meet a beautiful woman on a blind date. Obviously, the men gladly accepted, but what they didn’t know was that the blonde girl they were about to meet is also a professional stunt driver. So after some chitchat in a bar, the girl asks each of her dates if they want to go somewhere else in her 2015 Ford Mustang.

At first, the girl appears to have a hard time driving the stick shift Mustang, but as soon as she arrives in an empty parking lot, all hell breaks loose. The guys’ reactions to the sudden change of driving style are priceless, so make sure you check them out the video posted below.

Default Hennessey's Wild 2015 Mustang HPE700 Hits 195mph or 314km/h [w/Video]


With great power comes great speed, and Hennessey's new 2015 Mustang HPE700 has plenty of both.

Last Wednesday, February 4, Hennessey Performance founder and CEO John Hennessey took his personal supercharged Mustang HPE700 for a drive at the Continental Tires Proving Grounds in Uvalde, Texas, where he achieved a top speed of 195.2 mph or 314.1 km/h.

Hennessey's HPE700 package for the sixth generation Mustang GT upgrades the factory 435hp (441PS) and 400 lb-ft (542Nm) 5.0-liter V8 with a wave of products including a 2.9 liter supercharger, air induction system, new fuel injectors and fuel pump, plus a modified ECU.

As a result, the supercharged V8 produces 717hp at 7,000 rpm and 632 lb-ft (856Nm) of torque at 4,400 rpm for 0-60mph (96km/h) sprint in 3.6 seconds and a quarter mile run in 11.2 seconds at 131mph (210.8 km/h), which by the way, matches the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's time.

Wear headphones! The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. With headphones or earbuds on, you'll feel like you're actually sitting in the driver's seat.

Saw my third 2015 today. A GT model in Triple Yellow Tri-Coat. Almost looked exotic in profile at first glance. Similar to the one below

followed a beautiful blue 2015 home today. Looks amazing and you could tell the dude wanted to play with the F but the traffic was too heavy. I rolled up , dropped a few gears in sport mode to let him hear the snort.....then proceeded to act like nothing was abnormal. I always slow down in traffic by dropping 2-3 gears

In all honesty the car looks amazing, the interior is not my flavor but Im sure one would get used to its ergonomics and styling. I have a friend who just ordered a 2015 and hated domestic cars and used to be a Euro tuner VW guy. After all the issues with the VW he said a Ford cant be much worse.

I've seen a couple on the road now and I haven't warmed up to it. I don't dislike it, but it seems too soft, too flattened, and a little flamboyant. The rear lights stare up to the sky (why?), the front is watered down and generic to match today's common car, and that dash is one big swath of industrial building material. I am sure others will enjoy the brutish power, but I don't see a pretty or sporty rapper to go with it.

Default 2015 Ford Mustang Earns Top Safety Rating from NHTSA


The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has just awarded the 2015 Ford Mustang with its highest honor – a five-star rating. It achieved the same score for both front and side impact protection, as well as rollover protection.

It also comes packed with the latest and most modern of active (semi-autonomous) and passive safety features. Stuff like adaptive cruise control, cross-traffic alert system and the new inflatable airbag restraint design add to the final score too.

This is even more incentive to want a Mustang, really, as it already looked the part, reportedly drove the part and now we know it’s safe too.

It’s the embodiment of compromise-free modern motoring at its best. You still get the Mustang image, though, but with fewer associated drawbacks than ever. Plus, the same “safety sells” slogan that the industry has gone by for more than a decade is still valid, so this news has the potential to boost sales too.
