If you plan to get into racing any time soon, Ford would like you to consider the new Mustang. Even as the new production car hits showrooms, Ford is getting ready to launch a race version, and is studying running it in Grand-Am as a factory effort.

Internally known as Boy Racer, the car is powered by a 5.0-liter crate engine producing 420 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque. Dan Davis, Ford's director of racing technology, said the Mustang racer is aimed at drivers interested in showroom stock-type series.

The race team I'm involved with is working on a deal with Ford to procure one of those cars for a Grand Am effort either next year or in 2006. If things go well, I may be handling the crew duties on that car. I was told it was a "no-go", then I got a call about 2 weeks ago saying that he just hung up with a VP (or some such title) at Ford and it may be back on. He's got investors and some capitol.... I'll post more as I find out.

It has to be more fun that the 1971 Mustang we run now.

How much? I believe I was told it was headed for 100k-ish. Not final yet though.

INteresting show ...

watched the show with great interest. I loved the suspension testing they showed that they were able to do just in the shop. It really showed dividends once they got to the track.
