As befits the fastest, most powerful Ford Mustang ever to be sold by the company, almost everything on the car that doesn’t make it go faster has been eliminated. That carbon-fiber and aluminum rear wing — 15 possible positions — is there for a reason, as is the carbon-fiber front splitter. They help hold the car down at top speed, which, we learned, is 172 mph, engine screaming at the 7200-rpm redline in sixth. Geared for top speed, this is certainly an over-200-mph car. As it is, performance numbers are pretty respectable for a car built not for acceleration but for road-course racing: 0 to 60 mph comes in 3.9 seconds, the quarter-mile in 12.1 seconds at 123 mph. The skidpad number is 1.15 g, with a full tank of 100 octane.
WOW IS THAT PRICEY!

awesome, for 200K+ I think it's just a big waste of money to a) whoever buys one b) ford for producing it, I don't see anyone buying that for what else is out there for 220K and it's just a big waste of design plans on fords part
If you want to be technical Ford made a VERY similar car as a race car for competition and then decided to offer a VERY comparable model to the public. Obviously these arent going to end up on any delaership showrooms but they are getting attention/free publicity out of them and if they sell a couple great, they were going to design one anyways. This is basically a modern Cobra-R only much more rare. Besides they didnt design for 1/4 mile use so I have no idea why everyone acts like thats the benchmark.
