Novi muscle cars

Steta sto mora propasti jer je zaista fenomenalan automobil.

Sinoc sam po prvi put isao sa novim Mustangom na duzu relaciju. Isao sam kod jednih prijatelja u Madison, WI. Odusevio sam se koliko je udobnost poboljsana u poredjenju sa starim modelom, ali me je jos vise odusevila potrosnja.

170 milja (272 km) u oba pravca, sipao sam pun rezervar kad sam krenuo i potrosio sam tacno pola rezervara ili 8 galona (30 litara).

95% puta je bio autoputu gde sam na cruise control drzao na 70 mph (112 km/h). Nas 4 je bilo u kolima.

A koliko me je snaga odusevila da ne pricam, uzbrdice nije mi primetio.

Mustang me je odusevio, ali cim nadjem Lincoln MKS za do ~$20,000 (novi je $39,000, ali na srecu Lincolni poprilicno brzo gube na ceni) - Mustang leti iz garaze, a ulazi MKS.

The Ford Mustang, America’s favorite muscle car for nearly a half century, offers a host of new available features for 2010, including for the first time the industry-exclusive SYNC system, Next-Generation navigation with SIRIUS Travel Link and a reverse camera system.

“We know that Mustang owners love spending as much time as possible in their cars, and we wanted to offer them the best technologies to stay connected in a safe way,” said Paul Randle, Ford Mustang chief engineer. “Adding small features such as steering wheel-mounted audio controls and big technology breakthrough including SYNC and SIRIUS Travel Link make the Mustang driving experience even more engaging.”

New technology features available on the 2010 Mustang include:

* SYNC: The voice-activated hands-free in-car communication and entertainment system developed by Ford and Microsoft. The system fully integrates most Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and digital media players, providing customers hands-free cell phone and music selection capabilities – plus new 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Report provided with no monthly fees.

* 911 Assist: When a phone is properly paired, turned on and connected to SYNC, the system is ready to assist in placing a call directly to a local 911 emergency operator in the event of an air bag-deploying accident. The key advantage of SYNC 911 Assist is speed, as calls are placed directly to local 911 operators.
* Vehicle Health Report (VHR): SYNC gathers relevant information from the major vehicle control modules and packages diagnostic data into a usable format in a matter of minutes. That data packet is sent to Ford via an 800-number automatically dialed using the customer’s paired and operable mobile phone.

* SIRIUS Travel Link™, an industry-leading technology that, when combined with the voice-activated navigation system will provide users with real-time traffic data with accident and incident information, coast-to-coast weather data including current conditions and five-day forecasts, and fuel price information for over 120,000 gas stations. Travel Link also offers sports scores and schedules and a listing of more than 4,500 movie theaters with movie times, theater addresses, movie synopses and more.
* Voice-Activated Navigation, which integrates several functions including voice recognition destination entry, climate control and SIRIUS satellite radio into one easy-to-use system, displaying them on an 8-inch touch-screen display. The navigation system’s text-to-speech function calls out street names while in route to a destination and reads incoming text messages when the system is linked to SYNC. The integrated DVD player is capable of reading CD-Audio, MP3 CDs, DVD, DVD-Audio and DVD-ROM (for digital map updates). A music jukebox function stores more than 150 hours of music. The screen even can be customized with personal photos.
* Reverse Camera System, which mounts a small camera on the decklid spoiler that is activated when the Mustang is shifted into reverse, providing a clear view behind the vehicle.
The video image is displayed in the navigation screen on Mustangs equipped with that option or in the self-dimming rearview mirror on those without the navigation system. The screen image includes an industry-first centerline and colored guides giving the driver a better perspective of the vehicle’s center point and periphery. The rearview camera system will be available on the GT Premium, V-6 Pony Express and V-6 Sport packages.
* Ambient Lighting System with MyColor™ allows drivers to customize the interior lighting of the vehicle to suit their mood. The enhanced MyColor system features seven base colors – ice blue, purple, blue, orange, red, white and green. Customers also can create 125 custom colors by mixing the red-green-blue palette. The driver can individually set the instrument cluster gauge background, instrument cluster “halo” lighting and the ambient lights in the front and rear footwells, cup holders, doors and the “M U S T A N G” logo in the aluminum door sills to different colors, or easily coordinate them all to the same custom color.

Another clever feature standard on the 2010 Mustang is EasyFuel™ Capless Fuel-Filler System. This industry-exclusive feature helps to reduce evaporative emissions that create smog and global warming. When fueling is completed, and the fuel pump nozzle is removed, the system automatically seals shut.

Additional refinements include a new center console mounted trunk release; lockable stowage in the center floor console; covered cup holders; steering mounted audio controls; dual electronic climate control; outside temperature sensing; and remote keyless entry integrated into the key. Class-leading one-touch up and down windows continue as well.

“We listened to customers and made improvements to the 2010 Mustang in every way we could,” said Keith Knudsen, supervisor, Mustang vehicle architecture.

ne znam ni ja, iskreno...
samo, siguran sam da se lako skida

Radili smo nekog Linkolna za Kanadu, limitiran je na 160 i nešto Km... Kaže čovek takav je propis, stisko ne stisko toliko može i gotovo

[HEMI 426]

nije stisko na pravom mestu...


to je to, ameri su strasno rigorozni sto se toga tice ( mislim da Horsepower moze da potvrdi ) a oni su uvodili ogranicenje brzine ( prvo sa zvucnim signalom kad se predje 100 mph=160 kmh pa potom elektronski ) jos i pre onih cuvenih nemackih 250 km/h. Medjutim, posto je amerika federacija i sve savezne drzave imaju svoju zakonodavnu vlast, ogranicenja se razlikuju od drzave do drzave ali nigde nije vise od 80 mph sto je nekih 130 na sat ( na nasim auto putevima je 120 a na hrvatskim 130, cisto poredjenja radi )



E sad, cuo sam dosta prica o tome kako se ti limiti sprovode. U nekim normalnim delovima panduri te spopadnu kao da si oteo bus pun dece a negde ih boli uvo ( pustinje i vukoyebine ) a navodno ako si privatnik u texasu i koristis vozilo ( pogotovo pick up ) za posao, panduri te tolerisu jer zuris da radis!

Inace, pun je net uputstava kako onesposobiti limiter mada svi oni koji oce top speed u americi, uvek mogu da odu u Bonneville koji je cele godine perfektan za divljanje i obaranje rekorda, tako nesto nema u Evropi...

Governor (speed limiter) kod Mustanga je zakucan na 120 mph (oko 200 kmh) kod V6 verzije, odnosno 147 mph (oko 240 kmh) kod GT verzije. Na novijim americkim modelima governor je instaliran u ECU motora; i jedini nacin da se skine jeste da se petlja sa CPU-om motora. Ako vlasnik ima nameru da ostavi automobil stock, obicno se ne odlucuje za ovakav korak zbog garancije, koju gubi u ovom slucaju. Doduse, ako se vlasnik opredelio za tuning motora, skidanje limitera je jedna od poslastica.

Koliko sam zapazio na putevima u Americi motociklisti se ponasaju vrlo opusteno, tj. ima divljanja...

Stvar sa Americkim pandurima je sto nemozes sa njima da se dogovoris kad te zaustave. Vec sedi u kolima, ruke na volanu i ne mrdaj.

Nije problem platiti kaznu za brzu voznju, problem je sto automatski i osiguranje skoci i tako placaj naredne 3 godine.

Ja sam pre 3 godine dobio kaznu od $210 za voznju od 65 mph u 50 mph zoni i izgubio 4 poena na vozackoj (kasnije smanjeno na 2). Sreca u nesreci je bila sto je pandur pogresno napisao moje prezime na kazni tako da osiguranje nikad nije saznalo.

U celoj Americi tokom 1970ih maksimalna brzina nije nigde bila preko 55 mph, na taj nacin su hteli da ljudi stede na gorivo. Zato vecina automobila iz 1970ih imaju speedometer od samo 85 mph.

Jos jedno fenomenalno delo Burningman-a kako je 2010 Mustang mogao izgledati.

Dodge Challenger je prosao crash test sa najvecom mogucom ocenom. 5 zvezdica za sigurnost vozaca i suvozaca pri prednjem udaru i podjednaki broj zvezdica (5) za bocni udar.
