The FR500GT is a turn key race car. Its built for road course racing. The Z06 might be faster, but it aint gonna be able to do the amount of laps this car can, and the amount of work that would need to be done for a C6 Z06 to pass tech inspection and be allowed to race in a class similar to this justifies the price. Thats why its $225,000 US.

RE: Ford FR500GT
Finally someone with some common sense.
When it says race car, that's exactly what it means people. The C6 doesn't even come with a roll cage last time I check.
How could anyone think this was a production vehicle?
What really bothers me is I can buy a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft for this mustang race car direct from ford racing for a mere $289, but I can't find a 1 piece aluminum shaft for my 06 mustang gt for less than $500.
The FRC500GT is more of a collectors item IMO for people with lots of money.
