New Revel : Ford FR500 ‘Cobra Jet’ Mustang drag package

If you think that you're Mustang can't do well on the drag strip , then you own it to yourself to get this 'Cobra Jet' drag package .

First off , Ford throws everything inside into the garbage , and replace a racing seat and a roll cage . So inside , there isn't any back seats , no radio , no cruise control not even a tilting steering wheel . Outside , you get some cobra stickers and Ford Racing badges . You'll also notice , the huge , wide drag wheels . But no drag car without some serious rock under the hood . And this one wouldn't disappoint . You'll be getting the same 5.4L supercharged V8 at the GT500 . So with 500 hp and light-weight body , this thing gives some panache . No official 0-60MPH time yet , but expect it to cover a quarter-mile in about 10.5 seconds . But you should open you wallet for this kind of car . This package costs a dizzying 70,000 $ .

But it doesn't finish here . Along with this Mustang , we've got Dodge's / Mopar Challenger SRT8 drag car . Both are strip out drag versions of their iconic brothers . Both pack up around 500 hp . Both approved for drag racing by the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) . And they cost nearly the same . So which will be best ? That's what we're going to find out when sales starts soon .
