Ford’s SEMA show booth hosted the premiere of the Mustang FR500CJ, also known simply as the Cobra Jet. To put it simple, the Mustang FR500CJ is an affordable factory-built race car for the drag strip that can compete right off of the truck and run in the 10-second range. The Mustang-based dragster that joins its road racing siblings aka the Mustang FR500S, the Mustang FR500C and the Mustang FR500GT, is available for order from any Ford dealer as a Ford Racing part.
