A new Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang crashed pulling out of a Cars and Coffee event in Texas, nearly plowing through a large crowd of spectators with many small children and unbelievably – the driver got out of the car, smiling and waving to the crowd as though he had just performed an impressive stunt rather than nearly killing innocent people.

It is a topic that may strike a nerve, the owner of a 2016 Mustang asking what can be done about the “Neck Choker AKA Seat Belt”. The writer named Mario asks “ Curious about anyone else's solution to the dreaded seat belt of the S550. I'm hesitant to get a seat belt pad, because well I've always thought they look corny.

General Motors has refiled the trademark application for the LT5 engine nomenclature, presumably for the upcoming Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 or perhaps the long-rumors mid-engine C8 Corvette – both of which would likely pack more power than the 650 horsepower LT4 in the Corvette Z06 and the Camaro ZL1.

The Ford Mustang is rumored to be set for a surprising facelift in the next two years and based on what I have seen in person and what is available via spy shots, I believe that the 2018 or 2019 Mustang might have a lightly restyled front end and a significantly restyled rear end.

Xbox France is giving away the awesome Ford Mustang inspired Xbox One console shown in the image above and the video below to one lucky gamer in conjunction with the launch of Forza Horizon 3, and as an avid Forza gamer – I am very jealous that we don’t have the opportunity to win something like this here in the US market.
