In a previous blog I mentioned how it's now possible to get a Steve McQueen-style Bullitt Ford Mustang GT cold air intake equipped street rod. Well now, Ford has gone one better and you can get a racing-style Ford Mustang GT cold air intake equipped FR500S competition car for under $100,000! Ford has previously offered other models of the FR500 in different variants that cost $125,000 for the "C" model, and a whopping $250,000 for the GT model. Interestingly enough, all of these beautiful rides came equipped with variants on the Ford Mustang's high-performance mill.

According to a recent press release, "Power is provided by a tweaked version of the standard 4.6L V8 found in the Mustang GT, producing about 325 hp. Changes to the car include a new cold air intake, a modified exhaust system, performance tuning by Roush, a stripped down interior to remove excess weight, the addition of a rear wing and a roll cage. Co-developed by Ford Racing Technology and Miller Motorsports Park, a total of 77 Mustang FR500S’ were built by AutoAlliance International in Michigan." So, if you have a serious need for speed, and want to compete, you can get your own Ford Mustang GT cold air intake equpped race for a mere $75,000. And you can find out for yourself, do cold air intakes increase mpg on a race car?
