2010 Ford Mustang debut in Road America
DEARBORN, Mich., July 17, 2008 -- A sneak peek at the future Ford Mustang will help kick off the celebration of a historic Mustang racing win this weekend at Road America, the largest vintage car event in North America.
Enthusiasts will be part of a special public "debut" of the highly anticipated 2010 Ford Mustang, which will serve as the pace car for the vintage racing field throughout the weekend. The next-generation Mustang will be outfitted in a special "camo" package, keeping some key design cues secret until its reveal later this year.
The camouflaged future version of America's favorite muscle car will look right at home in Elkhart Lake, Wis., along with a 2009 Ford Mustang Bullitt and a 2009 Ford Fusion with a limited-edition "Blue Suede Package."
Saturday marks Ford Mustang Day at Road America featuring a "Mustang Corral" along the straightaway. Every Ford Mustang and its occupants will be admitted free on Saturday to the Kohler International Challenge presented by Ford.
"One of the key components of our program is to meet our customers face-to-face, and the Kohler International Challenge provides an excellent opportunity for Ford to interact with a group of dedicated, knowledgeable enthusiasts," said Robert Parker, Car Marketing manager, Ford Division. "Road America and the vintage weekend provides an opportunity for customers to get behind the wheel and for Ford to show off our new product line, while still highlighting the fact Ford has been involved in racing since the inception of our company more than a century ago."
While historic race cars will be gracing the famous race track, enthusiasts on hand also will be able to get behind the wheel of some of Ford's latest products at the Briggs Stratton track located inside the Road America circuit. Ford will have the 2009 Flex, Escape, Edge, Fusion, Focus coupe and other vehicles available for consumers to test drive all weekend.
The 25th anniversary of the then-highly anticipated 1983 Mustang GTP debut and its rain-soaked maiden victory is the foundation forthe on-and off-track events.
The Mustang GTP car that won that day will be on display for the thousands of fans attending the event. The legendary car, an innovative racer that was the creation of Ford's then newly-formed Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), will be just a part of a significant Ford presence at the annual vintage event.
Also on hand during the weekend will be several Ford GTs, which will give hot laps on the legendary 4.048-mile Road America course. Fans can enter to win a Ford GT hot lap, which will be given away every hour, or laps can be purchased by making a $50 charitable donation to the Wisconsin Multiple Sclerosis Society or to the Vince Lombardi Titletown Champions foundation, which is raising money for youth sports programs.
The final component to the Ford Mustang celebration is on-track. Four Shelby Cobras will enter the Historic Grand Prix, and the Shelby drivers will wear vintage late 1960's racing attire. These Shelby entries mark the first time Shelby Automobiles has joined forces with Ford to race since 1968.

GRiD Racing Action
Simply the most edge of you seat / jaw dropping / eye popping racing i've seen in a game. Ok, it's arcade but the racing essence is all there. It's no driving sim but if you go all out into the first corner, it'll be a big crash... Which is something this game also excels at. Note the attention to detail at about 1:08 into the clip - the suspension work, the awesome smoke effects, the backfire... Just great.

Ford GT - Daytona Road - 2
This was a fun and well-fought race on Daytona Road 750pp. My best time to date in the Ford GT (road car) despite being on the ragged edge a couple of times and tapped by green S2000 a couple times as well.
This race is also an example as to why it always isn't a great idea to push as hard as possible all the time (and, IMHO, a good reason to watch it all the way through). Watch closely during the last half of the last lap, just as I come through "the bus stop". The driver ahead had his position nailed but... well, you'll see...

Edge and Superchips programmers available Total Truck Center
Edge
Founded in 1999 by two cousins with the idea of creating electronic enhancement products for the burgeoning diesel-powered pickup market. Production began in limited capacity at first and as popularity and demand grew, so did the company. Edge has had to move to several new facilities over the last few years before moving into its current location, a 24,000 square foot facility, over twice the size of their previous facility. Edge is one of the only electronic aftermarket companies that has the ability to manufacture its products in house, which allows Edge to quickly meet customer demand and ensures an exceptionally high quality level.
Edge's premier product line, the Juice with Attitude controls timing and duration of injector firing for your Duramax, Cummins or Powerstroke to deliver maximum performance, improved driveability and better fuel economy. Get on-the-fly adjustability and monitoring capabilities at your fingertips. This plug-in module is easy to install and comes with factory style connections.
Superchips
Founded in England in 1983, Superchips, Inc. was one of the first companies specializing in the "tuning" of computer-controlled vehicles for more power. Vehicles programmed by Superchips have gone on to win in a variety of racing series throughout the World. Since beginning our U.S. operations in 1992, we've continued to excel in racing, along with providing more power for street driven vehicles. Our current performance tuning comes from years of experience in tuning computer-controlled cars, trucks and SUVs, unleashing the power potential hidden under your hood...to deliver MORE POWER FOR TOW GO!
• Tuned every 200 rpm
• Dyno tested and street proven
• Application specific tuned products
What does this all mean?
When we program a Superchips MAX MicroTuner, Vin specific Micro Tuner, eprom or Ford Superchip for your vehicle, we don't just make a few universal changes at full throttle, our engineers make modifications throughout the entire power band, from part throttle through wide open throttle. These changes are made specific to your particular vehicle's original factory computer program.
By tuning every 200 RPM, you get more power for everyday driving with increased power in the lower RPM range where you need it. As shown below on the dyno graph, the torque gain at peak is nice, but the increased torque we found at the lower rpm range is outstanding and it's right where you really feel it on the street in everyday driving!
On the top end, notice that while the horsepower starts falling off just past 4,000 RPM, the Superchips program holds a higher level all the way to redline.
This means more torque on the bottom end to get you moving and more horsepower on the top end to keep the motor pulling strong all the way to redline.
These performance programmers are available and can be installed at your local Total Truck Centers.
