It’s not every day that a new car-related video impresses me, but the video after the jump sure did!  A group of Ford Mustang fans from Poland got together and cooked up this one.  It’s clean, features lots of shiny go-fast sheetmetal, and the music isn’t obnoxious, like in so many home-brewed movies.  In addition to the cinematography, there’s plenty of hooliganisms going on – smoky burnouts and the like.  Click past the jump for the 5 minute, 23 second long video.

As far as track-oriented cars go, Porsche holds the keys to several of them, mostly variants of their iconic 911 sports car.  The GT2 RS is one of these.  With 620 horsepower, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and rear-wheel drive, it ought to be fun to drive.  Add in the six-digit price, and not a lot of people will get that opportunity.  Hence the video after the jump, where the narrator and test driver just can’t help himself.

Fourteen seconds.  That’s about the time it takes to unlock, get into, and start my car.  For car thieves, that’s how long it takes to steal a late-model GM SUV – including the Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban – says a report from Detroit’s WXYZ, an ABC affiliate.  The reason the vehicles are so easy to steal?  They’re missing safety and theft deterrent features found on almost all cars these days.  Continue past the jump for a more in-depth explanation and WXYZ’s own video.
