Muscle has gone modern for 2010 as the Ford Mustang America’s favorite muscle car for 45 years straight. It is hitting the streets with a bang and has improved in handling characteristics, more standard safety and technology features and its already-strong safety and quality performances and reputation, and it’s easy to see how the muscle car known around the world has been promising and deliver on the promise of fast, fun and affordable on the promise of being on a whole new era.

More than 9 million customers have made Mustang one of the world’s most beloved automotive and cultural icons,” said Mark Fields, Ford’s president of The Americas. “Making sure this modern legend lives up to their expectations has been a driving force for the team, which went to great lengths – gathering customer input everywhere from race tracks to Main Streets in cities throughout the U.S. – working to create the best Mustang ever.” For 2010, the team delivered.

“The new Mustang marks new levels of both power and refinement,” said Paul Randle, Mustang chief engineer. “We’ve designed and engineered this to be the next classic Mustang that everyone talks about for years and years.”

With the newest addition to the Mustang legacy, Ford Racing has introduced the 2009 Cobra Jet Mustang. The Mustang FR500CJ, also, known as the Cobra Jet was unveiled on Nov. 4 at the 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. “The Cobra Jet is the newest offspring of the Ford Racing lineup of race cars,” said Jamie Allison, manager of the Ford Racing Performance Group. “We started with the FR500C in 2005 and then.

“All along the way, we worked with Brian Wolfe, who, at the time, was really in the calibration activity. He oversaw worldwide calibrations, and he was a big supporter of Ford Racing, both professionally and personally,” Allison said.

Continuing on, she mentioned, “He had always kind of asked us about our plans to do a drag race car and the time had just come early this year to, indeed, take all of the lessons we learned, all the processes, all of the relationships that we have inside with the plant and with the team and put together a sportsmen-destined drag race Mustang. Clearly, what we did in 1968 is the impetus for it, and we felt that it was time to bring back the Cobra Jet.”

This legendary Ford GT made its epic return to racing in 2008 at the GT2 class of the American Le Mans Series at the hands of Robertson Racing. The production on this car has been developed into a race car and a wider track, new suspension gemometry, and a more aerodynamic body with two additional new items, fender flares and additional front and rear spoilers.

Later in the 2008 ALMS season, the Black Swan Racing has been entered yet into another GT-R in the GT2 category with Falen Tire as the major sponser.
