Jay Leno gets a 2011 Mustang GT in his garage
It's no secret that Jay Leno is a huge car guy - and has what is arguably the nicest collection of them on the planet. So one could figure that his opinion on cars is worth its weight in gold, seeing as how the man has driven practically every car worth driving over the years.
In the latest installment of Jay Leno's garage, the late night mogul tries out a 2011Mustang GT. And not only is he impressed with the power and performance of Ford's new pony, he is very impressed with the build quality.

Video: Hennessey twin-turbo Camaro boasts 847 rear wheel horsepower!
Is too much horsepower a bad thing? Is there such a thing as too much power? We raise these eternal questions thanks to the 2010 Hennessey HPE1000 Twin-Turbo Camaro and it's insane power rating of 847hp and 801 lb-ft of torque - at the rear wheels.
If that is a tad too crazy for you, consider the tame HPE800, which produces a mild 815 horsepower and 788 pound-feet of torque at the motor. Surely that will be a more reasonable grocery getter.
Check out the video below to see the HPE1000 laying down the goods on a dyno. We're surprised the sheer torque didn't alter the rotation of the earth, or at least Hennessey's shop.
Video: 2011 Shelby GT500, now with better sound!
A few days back we had a video featuring a 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 making the rounds at Virginia International Raceway, besting the '10 model's time by 9 seconds. While the video was nice, the sound wasn't the greatest. To correct this travesty, this new video has enough good noise to make up for the first.
