The Ford Mustang has been the best selling sports car for 22 years and this year they have now been honored with the 2008 Motorist Choice Award in the Sporty Car segment. The web site InstelliChoice and automotive firm AutoPacific chooses the awards.
The Motorist Choice Awards were designed to recognize vehicles that appeal to both the heart and head. The awards are calculated by combining IntelliChoice.com’s cost of ownership data with AutoPacific’s owner satisfaction information culled from more than 40,000 new car and truck buyers.
This is not yet official – but we heard through the grapevine that Chris Theodore has been assigned the new CEO of Saleen Inc. Before this promotion he was the companies Vice Chairman and Chief Technical Officer.
With his help the company has been able to produce the S302 Extreme, S5S Raptor Concept, and the Dan Gurney Signature Series Mustang.
Looks like Ford managed to make a few of their customers mad. Customers who purchased the limited edition Ford Mustang BlackJack are filing a suit against the company because so many of the units have been produced. They feel that the car is no longer limited.
The complainants are claiming that they paid a premium price of nearly $59,000 last year believing that Ford would only be manufacturing 100 units of this special edition Mustang.
The AV8R Mustang has been powered by a supercharger 4.6 liter SOHC V8 engine that has the ability to push out 400 horsepower. It is available in anodized silver paint and has been equipped with modified shocks, springs, anti-roll bars, a strut tower brace, and a Ford Racing suspension kit.
The interior of the AV8R is made with leather seats and trimmed with vintage bomber jackets. The dashboard trim is taken from the Bullitt Mustang and the whole thing is finished with a turned aluminum pattern.
