Six years ago, Dwayne Sanchez moved his family to Las Vegas from Colorado to start his own powdercoating business.

It's not over the top. It doesn't have a crazy body kit. There's no carbon fiber, airbrushing, or chrome. There's not even a power adder. So what makes Troy Lee's '90 LX coupe so special?

Mustang. It screams performance, whether you're looking for a V-6, GT, Boss or the new 650hp GT500. Ford also builds turn-key racer cars, both for drag racing and road racing. And these cars win!

Point blank, no Mustang in history can match what Ford will release this year as a 2013 model. We're talking about the next Shelby GT500, and with 650 hp, 600 lb-ft of torque, and a top speed of over 200 mph, this Dearborn destroyer will leave no question as to which Pony car is king.

Over the course of hot rodding, one of the more debatable upgrades has been swapping camshafts--especially in modular engines. Given the Two-Valve's complexity and cost of buying two camshafts, the question posed isn't will it increase horsepower, but more appropriately, how much of an increase in horsepower?

Some guys take a 5-liter Fox-body Mustang LX or GT, put a turbo or supercharger under the hood, and call it a sleeper. Others transplant a mod motor into a four-cylinder car and think they have achieved sleeper status. But there's more than just leaving a car looking stock and adding power.

However, not every kid is handed a brand-new car at 16. Some, like Juan Farias of Sacramento, California, had to work to buy the car he loved.

The origin of the catch phrase can't be nailed down to any particular person, but one company that made it extraordinarily famous is Tasca Ford.

Featuring a sleek silhouette and fresh face, the all-new Fusion is the latest in a series of vehicles from Ford - following the 2011 Fiesta subcompact and 2012 Focus small cars - developed to satisfy customers everywhere who want leading fuel efficiency, helpful technologies and game-changing looks.

The fourth-generation SHO came out in 2010 bristling with technology. While it doesn't look all too far removed from the pedestrian Taurus, the SHO packs a torquey 3.5-liter, 356hp, twin-turbo, direct-injection, Ecoboost V-6 that feeds its power through a select-shift six-speed transmission and torque-sensing all-wheel-drive.

With the release of the Boss, the hot GT500, and the peppy V-6, this has been a great year for Ford, its Mustang, and our readers, who are the owners and builders. The base GT, GT500, and Boss are awesome in stock trim, but it's been amazing watching what our readers and the performance builders have done to make them accelerate harder, corner faster, stop quicker, and look better.

A common belief is that a person is a direct product of the environment from which he (or she) is raised.

Gabriel Villagomez of El Centro, California, did just that when he stocked up on exterior parts for his dream car--a brand new '06 Mustang GT. And when his wife questioned the contents of the boxes in the garage, his palms started to sweat as he told her they were "just empty boxes." Little did Mrs. Villagomez know that what her husband was hiding would be the starting pieces of Gabriel's three-year-long project on a car he didn't even have.

Although we brought you some of the coolest stuff on the market at the time, the past year has been a good time for the gift and gadget market.

Since its victorious introduction at the NHRA Winternationals in 1968, Ford's Cobra Jet Mustang has created a legacy of power, performance and triumph. That legacy was renewed in 2008 when Ford Racing offered a limited run of the 40th Anniversary Cobra Jet Mustang, which quickly sold out. Subsequent 2010 and 2012 model year offerings of the Cobra Jet have proved just as popular.

BROADVIEW, IL, November 29, 2011 – James Casity Sr. from Stockton, California, won the one-of-a-kind 2011 Ford Mustang RTR Grand Prize in the exciting Bosch Iridium Edition Mustang RTR Sweepstakes.

Building a serious street machine can require an incredibly large investment. The financial venture, the time to build the vehicle, coupled with the space tied up to keep everything, adds up to a serious undertaking.

Eric Walker, a jeweler by trade, had never owned a Mustang. In 2003, he talked his wife into buying a new Mustang GT as a spare vehicle.

Many of us Mustang enthusiasts have a clear vision of the perfect Stang and one we aspire to own. Others search for a car that calls out to them and pushes their "fancy button." Jeff Schuman of Plainview, New York, is a prime example of the latter.

Rumors have been flying on the Internet for months as people have speculated about Ford's next iteration of the car that bares Carroll Shelby's name. With Brand X releasing more and more powerful American muscle cars, we hoped Ford would answer back. Looking at the 2011 and 2012 GT500s, it was hard to imagine how Ford could improve. With 650hp and a top of over 200 mph, it succeeded with flying colors!

Ford Motor Company listens to its consumer--now more than ever. The likes and dislikes of mass majority directly affect the path FoMoCo takes when designing a new vehicle or updating any of the many cars, trucks, or SUVs in its consumer fleet. When the redesigned Mustang was released for the 2010 model year, it was a love/hate situation for the Mustang world. While some felt the sleek, yet aggressive, new bodylines were just what Mustang needed, other saw it as a step in the wrong direction. For 2013, Ford has made a few subtle (and not so subtle) changes that will be unveiled at the LA Auto Show.

On a cool October morning in the quiet town of Mulberry, Florida, 15-year-old Caleb Heard was about to live his dream.
