Kevin and his 98 Mustang Project Build
When I bought my 1998 Mustang GT a few years ago, I just got it because I was tired of driving slow trucks. I’ve had a couple trucks through high school and college, and wanted to have a sense of freedom and speed, so I went out and found my “Stang”. I always thought of it as just another car, and didn’t realize the following that the Mustang has. Car clubs, forums, and race days are just a few examples of different ways that Mustang drivers can meet up and check out each other’s cars. I have recently decided that I want to build my 98 GT and just have it as a daily driver/race car; built for a track, but comfortable and fun on the streets. Now, I know that 96-98 GT’s aren’t known for being the most popular mustangs, and yes they came with the least amount of horsepower to ever come in a Mustang GT, but I’m definitely going to change that when I get finished with this build. Here is a list of mods that I have done to my car so far and the mods that are soon to come… › Continue reading
V6 Camaro vs GT-R
2010 Camaro
East Texas Muscle Cars in Longview Texas have started developing a turbocharged 2010 V6 Camaro. Their intent is to use the platform to build an American Muscle car to take on Godzilla around the ring. That would be the GT-R’s Nurburgring time of 7 minutes 26.7 seconds also coming dangerously close to the Corvette ZR1’s time of 7:26.4.
It’s not as easy as strapping on a turbo and pushing the car to the projected 500 horsepower, the GT-R has a massively unique and sophisticated AWD system that allows it to make the most of its 480hp from its twin-turbo 3.8 liter V6. The guys at East Texas Muscle Cars are addressing this by changing up the suspension and brakes on the car as well.
Mike White from East Texas Muscle Cars told Edmunds “We wanted to do something a little different. We’re seeing a lot of interest in something like this for the V6 Camaros.”
The car will make its debut at the 2009 SEMA Show this year in the Squires Turbo System Booth.

Cool Car Spotting of the Day:
Drive for long enough in Texas and you are bound to see a special car or two, today I was cursing (location anonymous for the safety of the owner) and caught a glimpse of a beautiful red roadster sitting in a parking lot. Ignoring my passenger’s frustrations I pulled into the parking lot to get a closer look. In the back of my head I’m thinking this could be a Lotus, but there was something different about this car. Something looked different than other lotus’s I’ve seen and that’s when it hit me, TESLA! Wow they are not the rarest, most expensive, or coolest cars out there but it was pretty exciting to see one here in a parking lot in Texas.
