The Ford Mustang will receive a minor refreshing for the 2013 model year. A look at some of the photos by InsideLine reveals a slightly redesigned front fascia, and softer edges on the tail lights. The center panel in the rear is now black instead of being color matched with the body.
The GT trim receives minor bump in power from 412 hp to 420 hp, and a the optional Track Pack includes some bits from the Boss such as the limited slip differential and oil cooler. Night driving will be made easier for all Mustang drivers as HID headlights are now standard.
It looks like the newest Mustang will keep with Ford's mantra of providing an excellent bang for your buck sports coupe.

40 years and lots of dirt
The Datsun 510 is probably best known in the U.S. for its victories in the Trans Am series racing of the early 70s, however it was also quite the rally car too. The 510 participated in many rally races around the world and won a few events too. You can read about some of the history of the 510's successes here: 510 Safari rally.
Fast forward over 40 years since the original Datsun 510 rolled onto the streets, and it is rare to see these cars in action on the dirt. There are some people who still race their beloved Datsun on unpaved roads, and I wholeheartedly salute them for their efforts.
Some of you may remember the magazine Sport Compact Car, which during the late 90s and early 2000s was one of the most prominent monthly publications dedicated to the auto enthusiast. The magazine featured a great variety of technical articles focused more on performance than the aesthetics of a vehicle. During what I called their "golden age" of writing, their staff featured well written and at times humorous articles by Josh Jaquot, Shiv Pathak, Mike Kojima, and Dave Coleman. One of my favorite articles was the project car rallycross beatdown where the writers participated in a lighthearted event of talking trash to each other while attempting to be victorious in a local rallycross race.
