The 2008 Mustang FR500S provided an affordable way for customers to go racing. The 325-hp Ford Mustang FR500S was co-developed by Ford Racing and Miller Motorsports Park (MMP) in Tooele, Utah, and is based on the Mustang GT used by the track’s high-performance driving school.
The limited-edition FR500S marks a milestone as the first race car in Ford Motor Company’s history to be built at a production facility and made available for purchase through the Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog and at authorized Ford Racing dealers.
Powered by a 4.6-liter 3-valve, fuel-injected V8 production engine and featuring a Ford Racing cold-air intake, the FR500S includes a 6-speed transmission with an upgraded clutch and Ford Racing short-throw shifter. It also boasts the same braking system utilized on the FR500C, along with unique two-way adjustable front dampers with coil springs and adjustable anti-roll bars in both the front and rear suspension.
