This is a silver prototype 2010 Mustang Cobra Jet. The limited run of 50 cars that follow are all white and manufactured on the same production line that produces the 2010 Ford Mustang production car. Building on the track-only 2008 Mustang Cobra Jet, the 2010 version has new graphics, a choice between several 5.4L supercharged or normally aspirated V8 engines, adjustable front and rear shocks, manual steering and brakes, roll cage, competition shifter, Hoosier drag radials, Weld wheels, and a rear mounted battery with cut-off switch.

The 2010 Mustang Cobra Jet is based off the V6 bodyline to allow many of the options to be purchased by owners of street legal Mustangs from the Ford Performance Parts catalog. If you do performance upgrade your Mustang, don't remove the side and center rear view mirrors like this one. This is one reason why this car is not street legal.

Rear view of the silver 2010 Mustang Cobra Jet prototype showing off its FR500JC designation and Cobra Jet rear decklid emblem which looks very similar to the 1970 Sidewinder Special graphic. The FR500 is a Ford Racing class of turn-key race cars produced on the standard Ford Mustang production line in Flat Rock, Michigan. The CJ is Cobra Jet. Other versions are the FR500C (5.0L "Cammer R50" 420hp engine), FR500S (Ford's 4.6L V8 325hp engine), and the FR500GT (5.0L V8 550hp engine) to name a few.

The interior has been stripped down to just the essentials. No ignition key, no air conditioning, no radio... The red button on the shifter is the trans brake used to lock the transmission to allow the engine to throttle to be opened larger while waiting for the green light of the drag racing tree. The trans brake was designed and patented by Steve McQueen in 1977. The red button on the shifter is also commonly connected to Nitrous.

Ford calls this the quickest accelerating production vehicle ever made. The car will execute a 60-foot launch in 1.3 seconds and the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds. Wow!!!
