DEARBORN, Michigan — The Ford Motor Company is moving closer to release of the Mustang FR500CJ Cobra Jet, a limited-edition racing car inspired by the original 1968 Cobra Jet Mustang.
New video shows the car testing at Michigan's Milan Dragway. Ford also released a new image of the FR500CJ, which is essentially a factory-built NHRA-legal drag racer.
Ford plans to build a limited run of 50 units in December, with deliveries in February 2009. Pricing is expected to start at $69,990.

I mean if this is their drag car why wouldn't they give it the same engine as the gt500 and make it that much faster

How is it a dud if ... ( 2 months ago by mycrownvic02)
How is it a dud if it runs 10s from the factory? Obviously you could port the blower and get much more power out of it, and or build up the motor. 400hp, and running 10s just shows you the potential of this car..
They we could ask ... ( 2 months ago by SpikeRazzor)
They we could ask why not just use the Ford GT since it make a hell of a lot better use of that type of motor.
Anyways, that GT style modular motor and 6 speed tranny contribute to the bloating of the GT500, so putting it there wouldn't be that good of an idea if its suppose to be fast from the factory.
i just think that ... ( 2 months ago by kubomon17)
i just think that there is so much more to get out of a 5.4 then 400hp. im not a big fan of drag racing though, im more into track races...

they need to take the dreag kit offa the Cobra Jet (which i still like) and throw onto the 2010 GT500 5.4 that has 520 HP. I think they WANT people to do the upgrades themselves lol
Only a pussy with ... ( 2 months ago by almightyfargoth)
Only a pussy with too much money would buy that instead of building up a mustang themselves. While that would be sweet to see it doing a 10 sec 1/4 mile...I just wouldn't have respect for the person who bought it.
I'd love to see a Mustang one day that weighs exactly the same as the fatass that bought it....but YOU FAIL AT MATH MOODY.
No he said 3300 lbs ... ( 1 month ago by MarcoAntonioBarrera)
No he said 3300 lbs lighter......man that car must weigh around 450-800 lbs..........I want one...lol
lol, a mostly stock ... ( 1 month ago by Xarmy187)
lol, a mostly stock mustang GT is about 3600lbs with a light driver in it.
300lb car would only need like 180hp to run 10's XD
lol...ya your right ... ( 1 month ago by kdmysterio6259)
lol...ya your right. That cobra jet would way probably be like 400-500 lbs. Some one made a mistake....that guy doesnt know anything...lol the engine alone ways more then that.
more like 40 hp lol ( 1 month ago by piecenugent3)

daddy wants a CJ, or I'll just build one for 1/2 the price.
3300 lbs lighter? ... ( 1 month ago by carLP640)
3300 lbs lighter? if that is true then you need anchors on its sides just to stop it floating! 5.4 is a big engine...but 420 hp? only? well it is light....I WANT ONE!!!!!!

Not Worth The Cash I Could Get 700 Hp With That Kinda Money In A Honda
That much power ... ( 1 month ago by bradlez996)
That much power with a supercharged 5.4 V8 engine is shit. The Ford BF GT in Australia, uses the same engine without the supercharger, and makes the same power as this Mustang.

I saw John Force and Bob Tasca race two of these cars at Pomona this weekend. They both went 10.8x at 128.x. Cars sounded real nice.

he got the HP rating wrong to 405 to 420 hp...the gt 500 makes more than that...i just saw that car run at NHRA at pomona last weekend..yea mid 10s but it makes 605hp............405 to 420hp??wtf lol
man, wtf is the big ... ( 1 month ago by pkblazenred)
man, wtf is the big deal, the guy obviously made a mistake and meant 330lbs. lighter or it only weighs 3300lbs....either way, i am sure there is still weight to be taken out of it, and some other mods and i bet it can be in the 9's. this is truly awesome of ford to offer something like this!!!!
it weighs 3300 lbs ... ( 1 month ago by LEOSPANTHER)
it weighs 3300 lbs and is 400 hp
