Test Drive: 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
If you haven’t noticed, Ford’ s been on quite the roll lately. After turning down government aid, the Ford Motor Company managed to turn a profit in the last quarter. And it’s not hard to see why. Their all new line up boasts some of the best cars on the market—they’ve got something for everyone. Want a muscle car? They got you with the Mustang; you want a pick up truck worthy enough to participate in the Baja 1000? They got that too with the maddeningly dope F-150 SVT Raptor . Then we learned today that If you’ve driven any number of hybrids, you’ve surely noticed a significant difference in the way they drive compared to normal, gasoline powered cars. The brakes usually depress in a weird way due to the regenerative brake system that turns the energy wasted during braking into energy the car can use. And when the electric motor kicks in there’s a very noticeable change over; sometimes it’s so noticeable, a hybrid newbie may think something’s wrong with their engine. The Fusion Hybrid doesn’t suffer from either of those set backs. If it wasn’t for the customized gauges or the badges, you’d be hard pressed to realize you were driving a car with a gas engine and an electric motor. It’s that good. The brakes function and feel like normal brakes, and the cut off between the electric motor is barely noticeable. A main barrier of admission for most people when looking at Hybrids is them not wanting to sacrifice their usual driving experience. With the Ford Fusion, you don’t have to.

2010 Super Cobra Jet - A "Factory" 8-Second Race Car? - Stang TV ...
Today, Ford Racing unveiled the 2010 Cobra Jet Mustang at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. The special “Silver Bullet” Super Cobra Jet Mustang that was unveiled in the Ford display was a big hit with the SEMA crowd. We had the opportunity to look at the car up-close several weeks ago at a media event at the Ford Racing Garage in Dearborn, Michigan. Having followed Stock and Super Stock racing for over 20 years, we can attest that the one-of-one Silver Super Cobra Jet is a masterpiece on wheels, and does some impressive burnouts with Brain Wolfe at the wheel. After checking out every detail of the car, we can’t believe the build quality that comes from “The Factory.” With die-hard drag racer Wolfe at the helm of Ford Racing, mountains within Ford can be moved and every detail addressed, for such a complicated build. The base 2010 Cobra Jet will come with the cast iron 5.4L modular block, DOHC heads, and 3.2-liter Ford Racing/Whipple supercharger. An optional “Super Cobra Jet” aluminum 5.4-liter modular block and 4.0-liter Ford Racing/Whipple Supercharger engine package is available for racers who want to compete in NHRA’s Super Stock class. The 2010 Cobra Jet, like the 2008 version, is a factory-built race car that is intended for competition in NHRA's Stock and Super Stock class racing. In Stock Eliminator trim, the car currently fits in A/SA and AA/SA, although that classification may change after Brent Hajek qualified 1.713 seconds under the A/SA index at the recent Las Vegas event. In Super Stock configuration, the car will fit in SS/B or SS/BA through SS/D or SS/DA. The goal for the 2010 Cobra Jet was to take what was learned on the 2008 Cobra Jet program, and enhance the race features and options. The 2010 CJ is delivered with all of the features of the 2008 car, with updates that include options for a full race-prepared Ford C6 automatic or Liberty manual transmission, 8.50 certified...
