In the Koni Challenge Series, the Mustang FR500C continues to battle the imports from Porsche, BMW and Nissan. The Mustang FR500C starts life as a body-in-white produced at the AutoAlliance plant in Flat Rock, Mich. Once a body has been selected for race preparation several weight and safety modifications are made but the basic suspension geometry is similar to the road ready Mustang GT. The engine powering the Mustang FR500C is based on the same modular Cammer engine found in the Daytona Prototype. In fact, the cylinder heads are from the production Ford GT program. This technology transfer is very important to the development of both race and street versions of the Mustang.
The Mustang FR500C hit the track in ‘04 and has proven to be very competitive. The car won the first Koni Challenge Series race at Daytona despite being in the winning teams hands for less than a week. The Mustang went on to help David Empringham, and his Multimatic team, win the ‘04 Grand-Am Cup Driver, Team and Manufacturer Championship. http://www.fordracing.com/grandam/about/

Why do you need 800HP + extreme handling? You'll never need all that horsepower if you're racing on road courses, if anything it would hurt you..

Umm... as much as i hate to admit... i race a few 600 hp vipers frpm 50 mph rolls... not for money or anything. for ****s and giggles. i had an ls7 vette... but i sold it due to poor workmanship...

S281E, Never the Cobra because it's so heavy. Hell the 3 stage Roush can out run it on a road course. Regardless of the engine differences.

Neither one. Buy the GT and mod it...supercharge it. Less money by far!

Unless money is no issue then buy the extrem!

I'd get a stock GT and then supercharge it and put a full suspension kit in it. I just drove the GT500 for the first time today and I wasn't really that impressed.
