Saleen to introduce "Dark Horse" Mustang

With the 2010 Mustang set to debut in November, time is running out for special edition versions of the current pony car. Saleen is going out with a bang in respects to the current model with it's recently announced "Dark Horse" Mustang.

The super 'stang will feature the 620 horsepower V8 from the S302 Extreme plus the SuperShaker system that combines a functional ram air system with Saleen's twin-screw supercharger system - a first for a Saleen production car.

The "Dark Horse" will sport the Heritage body style and have additional features exclusive to the model. Production will begin in the Fall of 2008, and only 25 will be produced.

The car will officially debut next week, we'll bring you additional details when that happens.

New Challenger to be offered with 'Cuda package

When papa Chrysler gave it's Plymouth brand the axe, many storied nameplates went with it, none as iconic as the Hemi 'Cuda. With Chrysler bringing back some of it's musclecar heritage with the newly reborn Challenger, 'cuda fans feel left in the dark.

But their dreams of driving a new 'cuda may soon be realized. HXC Performance is hard at work designing a retrofit kit that would transfer a new Dodge Challenger into a proper Plymouth 'Cuda.

Many aficionados consider the 1971 model to be the best looking, and it is this model that HXC has chosen to be the base for it's conversion. Included is a new grille, fender "gills" (which were only used in '71), Shaker hood, tail lights and a new rear valance.

To up the performance ante of the standard HEMI-powered R/T model, a Brembo brake package and suspension upgrade will also be included, as will a few engine option packages that can bump the power up to 475 horsepower.
