2011 Mustang GT vs 2010 Camaro SS

Okay, so this may be a little far off from being a comparison, but it’s worth a short anyway. The 2011 Ford Mustang GT was released last week, and all the talk was, “Is this going to beat the Camaro?” No real talk about the Challenger, because while it’s good, it’s not much competition to [...]

Powertrain: How Ford’s newest Coyote works

Let’s face it, Ford needed this 5-0. There’s no doubt about it. The 2010 Mustang GT is damn good, but it’s not quite the performer in a straight line that the Camaro SS and Challenger SRT8 are. Granted, it feels better in the twisties, but it’s still a little slower around various race tracks in [...]

Breaking: 5.0L Mustang GT is here!

First and foremost, this isn’t the redneck’s 80s 5.0L Mustang. This is a rompin’, stompin’, American ass-kicking Mustang GT that happens to be powered by a 302 cubic-inch 4,951cc V8. Roughly 5-liters. Now, you may be thinking, “Josh, how is this not just like the old-school 5-0?” Well, this is why…
Where the old Mustangs didn’t [...]

Merry Christmas, Ford style…

Even though Ford didn’t actually release these pictures, yet, some folks around the interwebz wanted us to have them before the official embargo is over and done with on Monday, the 28th.

As I’ve posted before (here and here), the new 2011 Mustang GT will have a 5.0-liter V8 motor making 412hp and 390lb-ft of torque. [...]

Merry Christmas!

RawAutos.com would just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I hope you have a wonderful day, and also, safe travels. Remember, don’t drink and drive… Another thing, if you don’t celebrate Christmas, then Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, or Happy Holidays for whatever you celebrate.
I hope Santa brings you lots of automotive toys and [...]

New Info: 2011 Mustang GT to have 390 torque and 6spd manual

Yesterday, Inside Line took some bit of Ford Mustang news and gave it to the world to swallow. That news was that the 2011 Ford Mustang GT would get the Coyote 5.0L V8 engine. And even better news was that it would produce 412hp. But that information just had us salivating for more! At least, [...]

Breaking: 2011 Mustang GT will get 412hp from 5.0L V8

We’ve forever heard the rumors that Ford would one day bring back its old school 5.0L V8, and with it, make a car that would finally put up a true fight with cars that had long passed the Mustang in the 1/4 mile.
But 2011 is actually going to be the magical year that we finally [...]

BMW to introduce 2011 Z4 sDrive35is in Detroit

Now here’s a car I’ve been begging BMW to make since they stopped making the Z4 M. And while they said that they’d never make another Z4 M, I found that to be a lie… “They have to”, I thought. But, they stayed true to their word… Sort of.

BMW will unveil at the 2010 Detroit [...]

Breaking: Farnbacher Loles Racing is no more!

Some of you may have already read that the Team Principal for the Le Mans and Grand Am racing team, Farnbacher Loles, has possibly embezzled up to 1.2 million dollars. But what many people don’t know is this has been going on for some time…
I talked to an anonymous source inside the team that told [...]

LA Auto Show 2009: 2010 Lotus Evora

Lotus continues to amaze anyone and everyone who drives one. A life-size go-kart, I guess you could call them. But, it’s been a while since Lotus built a car that it’s more or less known for; luxury, class, style and performance all rolled into one. Lotus, for many years, was known to be able to [...]

LA Auto Show 2009: 2011 Lexus LFA

Lexus’ first foray into the supercar market has ended up becoming a Nissan GTR type of hyped car. And whether it deserves that hype, well, we’ll just have to wait and see. These days, anything that comes out of Japan these days seems to be looked at as the greatest thing since sliced bread, simply [...]

LA Auto Show 2009: 2011 Ford Fiesta

Ford seems to be doing a lot right these days. It’s the principle reason why I, myself, own a 2008 Bullitt Mustang. They did it right. The heritage is there, but more importantly, it’s a unique piece of art that Ford has made. It’s a car that people know and love from the 1968 movie [...]
