That's one expensive 'Stang, but the FR500C is built strictly for racing since it's virtually identical to the track
car that races on the Grand-Am Cup road-racing circuit. The FR500C will be powered by Ford Racing's 5.0L "Cammer R50"
V8 that develops more than 400 hp and 400 lb-ft. of torque, all in a car that weighs 200 lbs. lighter than the base
Mustang. These pony cars won't be street legal, but the 25 being built for sale by August will be ready to race right
out of the box.
Brad The story was about Ford selling this car, not about it being added to the catalog. This is very old news as Ford released this information (about it being for sale) a long time ago when the car was originally debuted.
