Stang in the tail

Looks like this Mustang could do with a little more weight over the front wheels. Clearly its new aluminium V8 is much skinnier than the lardy iron block it used to have.

But this isn't any old Stang. It's a 2010 FR500CJ - that's CJ for ‘Cobra Jet' - made byFord Racing and designed to go straight from showroom to dragstrip.
