PRESS RELEASE
HURST PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCES
LIMITED EDITION MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE PACE CAR SERIES
BFGoodrich/Hurst Mustang Makes Debut as Official Pace Car at Ford Racing Mustang Challenge
Irvine, Calif. (September 23, 2009) – Hurst Performance, a company responsible for some of the most iconic and collectible pace cars in racing history, announced today that it will build 50 limited production replicas of its supercharged BF Goodrich/Hurst 2010 Mustang Pace Car.
The original BF Goodrich/Hurst Mustang made its debut as the official pace car at the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge race on Sept. 19.
"Hurst has a unique place in the world of pace cars," said Ron Flint, President of Hurst Performance Vehicles. "We are privileged to honor Hurst's history and again build cars that are fun to collect and even more fun to drive."
The stunning limited production Hurst Mustang Pace Cars feature massive 20" Hurst polished, forged aluminum wheels with gold painted center spokes wrapped in BFGoodrich g-Force™ KDW tires for maximum performance.
The cars are distinctive, with painted gold racing stripes and official "Pace Car" logos on white. Each car has a special white convertible top, boot and interior. The exterior delivers HURST identity with subtle detailing and features including real metal badges and a unique HURST AIR-SPEED® rear deck spoiler.
The gold HURST T-handle shifter is the centerpiece of the interior for both manual and automatic cars and the seats and floor mats feature the famous Hurst gold and black "H" logos.
Handling and attitude are provided by Eibach, with Hurst-tuned coil over shocks, springs and sway bars. Under the hood, the supercharged engine pounds out 435+ horsepower and over 400 lb.-ft of torque with Magnaflow custom-tuned stainless steel performance exhaust finishing off the sound and performance statement with authority.
Each limited edition production car comes with a commemorative edition etched metal dash badge, autographed signatures from the Hurst Team in the trunk and a Certificate of Authenticity confirming its collectability and provenance. Every Hurst buyer is invited to take delivery at the Hurst Performance Center in Irvine, California to meet our team and tour the facility.
Vehicles are available for purchase immediately with first deliveries in October. MSRP Pricing for the HURST/Mustang Pace Car Series Convertibles is $36,450.00 above the cost of the base Mustang GT or Premium GT Convertible. Please visit www.hurst-performance.com or call 949/261-5500 to order your car or make inquiries.
Now that its run with the Ford Mustang Racing Challenge is over, the unique and highly-collectible original Pace Car will make special appearances at numerous race tracks, car shows, parades and even SEMA, before being auctioned for charity at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in January 2010.
Proceeds of the auction will go towards benefiting the newest Victory Junction Camp in Kansas City, KS to enrich the lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses. The vehicle was generously donated by Woodhouse Auto family of Blair, Nebraska with many of Hurst's suppliers joining in to donate parts and services for this very worthy cause.

Well at least the Mustang's body panels look like the same color where they meet up, unlike the Camaro. Ford's designer were smart enough to carry the same curves and shapes through to sheetmetal to the plastic bumpers whereas the Camaro body lines END where the bumpers meet the metal, drawing light away and making the plastic look like a different color.

I'm not a fan of the redesign. The front looks like it's sad or crying and the back just looks weird. I do love the retro-hump below the side window and the interior. I hope for 2014 Ford brings back the sporty-aero body style from 1994-2004, those were gorgeous.

Crying? More like menacing, which is a lot better than grinning.

The Hurst Challenger looks awesome, but this is insanely gorgeous. Bet Chrysler is regretting scrapping that idea.

The wheels are not a bit much they're modernized versions of the rims Hurst use to put on their GTO's, and their Challenger and Camaro already wore them.

I see it was corrected. Oh well, fun while it lasted. I totally understand that type of error. Probably edited from "are being" to "will be" or vice versa, and forgot to make all things in agreement. ;-)

why do they have to have that bar across the car?, when other manufacturers like audi and volvo don't have them?

Well, it's to give the driver an extra layer of security.
John 1:04PM (9/24/2009)
I would imagine the bar is put in place to give the high mount LED warning lights something to mount to.

i've seen every Hurst special in magazines, from the first late sixties/early 70s Olds 442s and Pontiac Grand Prixs through the recent Challenger and now this, and i think they're all quite tacky. i hate the white/gold and black/gold, the stripes, the scoops... i love all the cars they're base on, but i hate the specials. they're all collectible though at some point.
i think the new regular production mustang is beautiful though.

Hi,
The market is currently enjoying a good rally which has seen most stocks gain from competitive advantage and it would be advisable for all stock market enthusiasts to seize this opportunity and plan their investments in a safer yet conducive stock market. With NIFTY hovering around 4800-4900 +, it is expected to take hold of this currently rally and be realistically be closest to 5000 more so than before in what should be its new 52 week high.
Lot many untouched stocks are still there which are ready to blast any moment.
Regards

I think the new Mustang looks great! I have seen a few new Camaro's on the road locally and while they sound nice and look good coming at you they look strange from other angles. Not ugly, just strange. The Mustang in the metal looks very aggressive, especially in Candy Apple Red or Grabber Blue.
