The concept of a grand touring car escapes most Americans these days, for what reason I'm not entirely sure. We have a mass of open roads and long highways that stretch from sea to shining sea, but we also have an abundance of cheap air fair to hop you from state to state. In Europe, they have airlines as well, though, they still have the tradition of grand touring cars. To go ahead and clarify for anyone who I might have already lost, a grand tourer is a special kind of car car derived from the Italian phrase grand turismo. ]]> http://txgarage.com/the-grand-tourer/feed 2 http://txgarage.com/the-epic-battle-mustang-vs-camaro-wvideo http://txgarage.com/the-epic-battle-mustang-vs-camaro-wvideo#comments Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:16:57 +0000 adam_txGarage http://txgarage.com/?p=1247

Some wars have been waging since the dawn of society with race vs. race, religion vs. religion, king vs. king. Other battles that are more short-lived but still remembered to this day like the Battle of the Alamo or the Battle of Waterloo. We just stumbled into such a battle that’s been waging on the streets for almost 50 years now. There has always been that epic battle between the Camaro and the Mustang spanning back to the late 60's and revived today. This week at txGarage we were able to get a hold of a 2010 Camaro 2SS and a 2010 Mustang GT Premium, what else is there to do but race!2010 Camaro SS vs. 2010 Mustang GT]]> http://txgarage.com/the-epic-battle-mustang-vs-camaro-wvideo/feed 7 http://txgarage.com/day7-2010-shelby-gt500 http://txgarage.com/day7-2010-shelby-gt500#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:53:17 +0000 adam_txGarage http://txgarage.com/?p=1240

Day 7 with the 2010 Shelby GT500 was by far the most fun we had all week. We worked hard and tried to get lots of video and pictures of the car to show to you guys. As we talk about in the video, after tearing up the streets of Texas for a week in the GT500 we were never faced with an obstacle that the car couldn't handle. Ford, SVT, and Shelby have made a great car with this one and we cant wait to check out the 2011 GT500 with the all aluminum block! Till then, check out our video!]]> http://txgarage.com/day7-2010-shelby-gt500/feed 11 http://txgarage.com/review-2010-shelby-gt500 http://txgarage.com/review-2010-shelby-gt500#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:01:04 +0000 adam_txGarage http://txgarage.com/?p=1232

 When you think about the history of Carroll Shelby, his racing, and his cars, there is no doubt that performance Mustangs pop into mind. As a matter of fact, Shelby Mustangs have been ever improving for the past 45 years making Shelby one of the most signed names on a car in the world. Carroll graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas, Texas making him a Texas boy who's heart never went to far from home. The Terlingua Mustang was named after the town where Shelby decided to open a ranch with Dallas friend David Witt.]]> http://txgarage.com/review-2010-shelby-gt500/feed 1 http://txgarage.com/mustang_vs_camaro http://txgarage.com/mustang_vs_camaro#comments Tue, 02 Feb 2010 03:49:32 +0000 Toby http://txgarage.com/?p=1223

  Last year Ford created a one-off Mustang named the AV8R as a tribute to the relationship between Planes and Mustangs. That one-off stang was auctioned off at the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Gathering Eagles charity auction for a cold $500,000. This car featured a great aircraft inspired design with a 400hp supercharged V8 and a bunch of Ford Racing upgrades.]]> http://txgarage.com/planes-and-mustangs/feed 1 http://txgarage.com/my-date-with-shelb http://txgarage.com/my-date-with-shelb#comments Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:34:12 +0000 Toby http://txgarage.com/?p=113 Today, I was galavanting about the big city with nothing better to do than waste some time. As Brittany was getting her massage, 8 months after it was gifted to her, I had some free time on my hands. ]]> http://txgarage.com/my-date-with-shelb/feed 1 http://txgarage.com/105 http://txgarage.com/105#comments Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:16:12 +0000 Brad http://txgarage.com/?p=105 OK so first things first.
