Filed under: Aftermarket , SEMA Show , Convertible , Coupe , Performance , Ford The 2010 Ford Mustang is a good looking car, but the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 from Gone in 60 Seconds is a beautiful car. If you own a 2010 Mustang, first of all, sorry about the 2011, but secondly, there’s a way to try and capture some of that Eleanor styling for your modern Ford pony car. Cervini’s has released images of its upcoming kit for new ‘Stangs, and the urethane kit includes a hood, front bumper, side skirts, side scoops, a rear valence, a ducktail spoiler, upper and lower billet grilles, a set of fog lights and a side-exiting exhaust system.

While the Camaro is certainly a head turner, it’s just not that great of an all around performance car. However, despite the 2010 Mustang GT coming out on top in many comparisons against its crosstown rival, one fact is undeniable: When it comes to power, the Camaro SS kicked the Mustang GT’s butt up and down the block.

We were all about the horsepower, and at 412 ponies underneath the hood, the 5.0 doesn’t disappoint. Ford , however, was thinking about appearances and earth-hugging as well, and managed to make the 2011 Mustang even more efficient than the 2010 model despite all that extra extra power.

That the piece succeeds overwhelmingly at, however, is highlighting the myopia of America’s mainstream press when it comes to motorsports. Many people in media seem to be completely unaware that there are forms of automotive competition other than NASCAR, because the cars the WSJ article focuses on most assuredly are involved in active competition. NASCAR may be the big dog in terms of the number of races, sponsor participation, and even people at the track
