The war between Detroit's muscle car threesome may have just begun, but as you can see in this newest episode of Torque.TV 's Head-2-Head series, it's already a shooting war. Like we saw in the preview clip , this face-off pits a 725 HP Mustang GT500 against a 725 HP Challenger SRT8 in a good ol' tire-smokin' fossil-fuel-burnin' good time. Who will come out on top? Check out the full episode over at Torque.TV

newVideoPlayer("/ChallengervsMustang.flv", 494, 290,""); This clip shows a race (well, the first half anyway) between two steroid-injected versions of Detroit's muscle car threesome , a Dodge Challenger SRT8 tuned by GS Motorsports against a Shelby Mustang GT500 tuned by Kenne Bell. Apparently it's one of many "bitter rivalries" from the upcoming second season of "Head 2 Head" on Torque TV . Others include races pitting the WRX vs an Evo and a GT-R vs a 911. If you're watching the above clip, and you're curious as to the difference between Torque TV and Speed TV , Torque TV has a woman in a tight-fitting top dropping her arms at the tree, while Speed TV relies on a bald guy wearing the same black t-shirt. Sure, it's fun to watch a girl jump up and down while excitedly thinking about making her S.A.G. check, but many gearheads may find these matchups kind of predictable. Let's one-up help Torque TV out and let them know what...

We caught up with professional drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. and had him walk us around his Ford Mustang to show us what makes his trick drift car tick. Not only did we get a close-up look at the machine, he even took us for a quick spin around some cones conveniently placed in the parking lot. This was our second time riding shotgun in a drift car — our first was in a JDM Nissan Skyline — and we've gotta admit, even though some may feel drifting isn't a real sport , it's unquestionably fun. Follow the jump for a video of the action. galleryPost('mustangdriftdearborn', 6, 'Mustang Drifting'); newVideoPlayer("/MustangDrift.flv", 494, 290,"");

newVideoPlayer("/KITTTransforms_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); Somewhere between "Morphing" and "Transforming" is the very Team America-ish "Valmorphanization." That's the term we feel best using to describe what KITT's doing in this one minute clip from the new Knight Rider TV show premiering September 24th on NBC. As you'd expect, KITT is apparently fitted with a current Ford lineup-limiter, only letting him "valmorphanize" into Ford products. Which explains why he's able to "valmorphanize" into a Ford F-150 FX4 pickup truck rather than the more appropriate "Ranchero" form factor we hoped for when we heard about his plethora of new looks yesterday . Now we're only left wondering when Ford comes out with a special "Knight Rider" edition F-150. Like the Harley-Davidson version, we're assuming the truck bed won't be big enough to hold KITT. Also, note the Shelby cobra that's...

newVideoPlayer("/turbo-boost.flv", 494, 371,""); It's official — "Turbo Boost" is back for KITT. One of the biggest disappointments in the Knight Rider made-for-TV movie was the total lack of KITT's signature, once-per-show super-move — turbo-boost. After getting the green light for series production , the new Knight Rider series has already calmed our fears the super-speedy feature was overlooked. NBC's released this short promo clip with a very un-Kilmer like KITT saying "just wait until you see my turbo-boost." We will, oh Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR -bodied KITT, we will.

newVideoPlayer("AImustang_Jalop.flv", 494, 390,""); The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser. If you thought the GT500KR in the Knight Rider made-for-TV movie was a disgusting piece of product placement, you ain't seen nothin' yet. What could be worse? How about the four remaining contestants in American Idol massacring Johnny Cash's song Ring Of Fire ? What makes it extra terrible was the so-called "music video" which involved the Idols bullfighting with a Mustang which was apparently the cousin of KITT . Feel free to watch the clip with your sound turned off— we don't want to scar you. [ americanidol.com ]

newVideoPlayer("KITTCommercial_gawker.flv", 475, 376,""); We hate valet service. Nothing gives us more fear on earth than dropping off a vehicle -- any vehicle -- to some pimple-faced 17-year-old with a heavy left foot and an inability to discern 2nd from reverse. Looks like the Mustang-derived KITT's got the same security issues we feel in this new commercial for the new Knight Rider movie/series/sequel dubbed "Valet." We just want to give the new GT500KR look-a-like a big hug and tell him everything's gonna be alright...don't cry...there, there. galleryPost('KITTKnightRiderMustang', 6, 'KITT Is A Mustang Sally');[via Knight Rider Online ]

newVideoPlayer("knightrider_jalopnik.flv", 475, 376); We here at Jalopnik aren't content to bring you merely warmed-over press photos, no, we'll give you warmed-over video from the press reveal. We continue to be the first to break news on the Knight Rider-Ford story with this video of the KITT from the new Knight Rider -- revealed live today in sunny SoCal. He's a Mustang GT500KR and wait, there's not one, not two, nope, there's three of them. Here's the scoop from Ford and NBC: "The three cars to be employed in the series include the KITT Hero -- a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR that is playing the part of the everyday Hero car with 540 horsepower; the KITT Attack -- a super high-speed version of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR Hero car that transforms into Attack mode with the help of air-ride technology and specialized body parts -- and a KITT Remote, which is a driverless Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR version of the Hero vehicle." Full press release...

newVideoPlayer("KnightRiderStripper_gawker.flv", 475, 376); So we had kind of a big n' exclusive story yesterday -- something about K.I.T.T. being a Shelby GT500KR Mustang in the new TV series. Yeah, that was it. Despite what we're sure will be a great deal of hoopla surrounding the arrival of the new talking Knight Rider ride, a great number of us still have fond memories of the old F-body Pontiac. We wanted to give you an opportunity to breathe in those fond memories and let them alight in your brain one more time -- and then watch as they get ripped to shreds by the unbelievably horrifying Knight Rider stripper. America may have talent, but she certainly did not. Watch the full train wreck above which may or may not be safe for work, depending on if you're allowed to see ladies wearing next to nothing. galleryPost('KITTKnightRiderMustang', 3, 'Mustang Is The New F-Body');
