RTR-X Mustang to debut at 2010 SEMA

Vaughn Gittin Jr. is known for his ability to drive Mustangs sideways, as he is a leading driver in Formula Drift. But Vaughn has also been busy trying to launch his own car brand - RTR. The first car we saw from RTR was at last year's SEMA show, the RTR-C.

The follow up to the RTR-C is coming to this year's SEMA, and is dubbed the RTR-X. The car is a collaboration between the Need for Speed franchise and is based on a 1969 Mustang. Purists need not worry, as the body is a Dynacorn replacement shell. The RTR-X is powered by a 2011 Mustang 5.0 V8, and features a one off subframe.

You can follow along as the car is being built in the meantime.

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.
