The Ford Mustang FR500S race cars will be available from dealers at around $75K.  The FR500S is intended for on track racing in the all-new Ford Racing Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup that will be held at Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City, Utah.

    Very nice, and the full equipment list on www.mustangnewsnet.com is impressive.
    It also shows how expensive even a spec racer can be, which is probably why such a microscopic percentage of the world's population participates in automobile racing.
    OTOH, the FR500S might change all that...
