1968 Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback Cobra Jet

Tom Scarpello joins our favorite host in the garage today and brings with him a 1968 Mustang GT. This blue beauty has been completely reproduced as opposed to replicated, meaning it’s the real deal and has the DNA of an original but has been evolved to be like new. Under the hood is a current production GT engine that’s been supercharged to produce 710-hp. Check out the episode below to hear why Jay says he’d rather have this ride than a McLaren any day. Enjoy.

Ford GT Hits 150 On The Autobahn

There’s no denying that the Ford GT is an iconic supercar. The lucky few who were able to get their hands on one have had the opportunity to turn around and sell them for insane prices not long after. The 660-horsepower machine deserves nothing but the “Oohs” and “Aahs” of adoration. Thanks to AutoTopNL on YouTube, we get to watch, and more importantly listen, to the Ford GT get after it on the Autobahn. Check it out, right here.

Hennessey Venom F5 Sets Production Lap Record

Hennessey Special Vehicles does it again. The hypercar manufacturer set a new production car lap record at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) with a 2:10.90 lap of the 3.41-mile-long racetrack. Can’t say that we’re surprised, since we know that with every new creation, the shop aims to one-up themselves in terms of power output and performance. The objective for the 1,817 bhp twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V8 hypercar was to surpass 300-mph and demonstrate its capabilities as a track car. Let’s just say, the Venom F5 did that and more, check it out right here.
