very cool!

We're anticipating many of these cars will hit the track early this year and don't be surprised if one dips into the 8 second zone. Impressive considering its a turn-key Ford Factory built car.

Being a Mopar Hemi lover, I believe this car is one hell-of- a deal !
I don"t know if the Drag Pack Challenger is anywhere as complete as this, but!!!!
The price is not all that bad considering what you get ! John

Mopar did this so that racers could build the car the way they wanted to. Its not the best deal for per say "buyer only" racers, but its great for those guys that are "builders" and want to tweak things here and there.

AC, awesome link, thank you....I see the 2010 model CJ is being equipped w/a 10.5" or a 11" rear tire (Hoosier). Did the '08 cars come w/a 9" (Goodyear) tire, or ??? Thanks. WJ

It's got nothing to do with factory - it has to do with Roush Racing.

Are you saying these mustangs are being built at Roush Racing and not Ford Racing?

These cars are built in flat rock MI at fords by ford workers not Roush racing Andy. Last time I looked you had to buy them through ford motor co not Roush.

As far I know Roush has an old kmart store they converted over to build the cars. They are delivered throw ford dealers as far as I know.

They are built by Ford. Roush has nothing to do with them this time around. You had to order them through a Ford Dealer & pay Ford Motor Company. PB Candies

OK, I'm a died in the wool Ford guy, and bleed blue when cut, but a "C2" transmission...????? That transmission being attached to the engine is a Powerglide if I ever saw one!

I wonder, if Ford has adopted the 'glide as its own, and designated it a C2, can it now be used in older stockers and super stockers? Interesting development.

The CJ's are all engineered by Ford Racing employees and built on a niche assembly line at the Auto Alliance Plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. The workers are hand picked UAW Mustang line workers. Watson Engineering does the roll cage and body reinforcement points before the cars go down the plant paint line. I think in this day and age it's pretty cool that Ford can do this operation in their own assembly plant! Thank GOD for the people that are managing FOMOCO.
