2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

The GT350 is a new kind of Mustang. Track-ready from the factory, its V-8 makes 526 hp and some of the best 8200-rpm noises you’ll ever hear. On this episode of Ignition presented by Tire Rack, Jason Cammisa explains what makes this flat-plane-crankshaft different from a regular V-8 using a set of drums.

Mustang Shelby GT350!

The heart and soul of this beast lives in the 5.2L V8 engine with a flat-plane crank that produces 526 horsepower. It’s bolted to a world-class TREMEC® 3160 6-speed manual transmission and you have a car that delivers 429 lb.-ft. of torque.

GM’s recall fix: Don’t park in the garage

General Motors’ solution for cars at risk of catching fire is simple: Don’t park in the garage. (At least until they figure out a fix.)

Most of the 1.4 million older cars that are at risk of having oil drip down onto the manifold in their engine and catch fire have already been recalled at least once. But 1,345 of the cars that were repaired in those earlier recalls subsequently caught fire anyway. So GM has recalled them again.
