So … wow.  I mean, just … wow. Give me a minute, I need to get my thoughts together.  Actually, that’s a lie.  My eyes just keep getting drawn back to this car.  As the title points out, this is, of course, the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss.  Then again, giving it a name does not really clear up anything insofar as the car itself goes, because this thing is … wow.

This is the kind of car you expect to see in a science fiction action movie with a completely unlimited budget, you know what I’m saying? It’s like an update to the DeLorean time machine.

It’s a limited edition, with only seventy five models scheduled to be available — and only to those who currently own the SLR supercar.

It’s a V8 coupe, made specifically to commemorate Stirling Moss, a legend of British motor racing, and his numerous victories.

If you didn’t notice this, the car completely lacks a windshield.

When you really think about it – in real life, how often are you going to get to drive one of the famous sports cars?  Probably never, however if you are a car-lover, you probably already know about Forza 3.  This is a brand new friggin’ game for Xbox LIVE and it is actually going to hit stores next month … however, if you are like me, you can’t wait that long.

The best part about demos, which the Forza 3 demo actually hits stores September 24th, thank you is that you get to test out the game to see if you really like it.  However – how often do you get to drive things like the:

•    2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3 RSR
•    2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro
•    2009 Ferrari California
•    2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
•    2009 Mini John Cooper Works

All of these cars packed into one friggin’ game?  This is totally a game for car lovers everywhere!

Has been a very, very busy year for the Hurst Performance Vehicles – wouldn’t you say?  I mean they have launched everything from their 50th Anniversary Dodge Viper all the way the newest Pontiac G8 and now … they have added on the 2010 Hurst Ford Mustang Pace Car.  This particular car is going to come around the middle of the month and it is going to be one heck of a pace car.

The pace car will be created for the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge race at Miller Motorsports Park on 9/19 and then afterward, the 2010 Hurst Ford Mustang Pace Car will make its appearance at all sorts of different events then, it will be auctioned off for charity at the start of 2010.

The 2010 Hurst Ford Mustang Pace Car is going to be a vision in white and gold, both the interior as well as the exterior and to be quite frank … it is going to be one hot little Mustang!
