Bear in mind that this is a factory built drag racer that is 700 pounds lighter than a GT 500, has no vin # and is detuned to 425HP to compete in the Sportsman class specificaly. No chance that one will be encountered on the street.

Agreed 100% I applaud Ford for maintaining a factory racing program which probably bleeds cash but you have to respect their dedication to motorsports.
