Ford Needs A Street Version Of This Racing Mustang!

This one is a full prepped race car. I'm talking about a regular street car to slide in under the Cobra in price. A low $30K, naturally-aspirated, 400 hp/400 ft-tq, 5.0 powered, niche model. A modern Boss 302 if you will.

I think the Cammer engine will see the light of day in a future Mustang. Ford has the specialty Mustangs down to a fine art. They wait until the excitement fades a little then come out with a Boss 5.0L, or some other variation, to get us all worked up into a lather again. IMO, it's good strategy on their part. It kept us buying old Fox body Mustangs for 25 years. ;)

Why not build one yourself? That's waht this hobby is all about... Getting a car and making it just how you like it, be it restored to original condition, a modern Fox or SN95 daily driver, an all-out race car, or anything in between.

Why not just pick one up right now and stuff it in the Mustang of your choice?

At that price I'll have to stick it into a Yugo. :)

I've gone the route of building up a Mustang and I'll probably never do it again. The '03-'04 Cobras made me see the light. A few tweaks and you're at 500 rwhp with all the creature comforts of a new car and great reliability.

How can they produce it if the regular GT costs this much?

I think a Chrysler crate Hemi (old style) with about 600hp is around the same price.

Well, it's a helluva lot cheaper than Patrick's race car. ;)
