Those look like road race cages

Straight line running or turning corners, it's been a long time since the factory cars were this out in the open and available, even in limited numbers, to the public.

Ford also build runs of 50 road race Boss 302S race cars and they might be using the same roll cage.

Ford Racing had their engineers look at ways to work in the design of the Boss 302R and Boss 302S road race roll cage in to the 2013 Cobra Jet cage design.

Where are the COPO camaro build photos?

obama hasn't released them yet, he has a few more countries to opologise to first.

Was that a dirty jab?.....naw obama motors deserves it. Wonder if he'll appoint a "racing czar"? Then he can pick winners and losers in racing too...and GE can build the cars in China....

Awesome photo's though! The 60's are back! The factories building racecars and you don't have to wait for a monthly magazine to see them 3 months later!

GO FORD!!!

Can any Ford experts here elaborate on the power-train going into these Mustangs once they are shipped back to the Ford production line...

The 2012 CJ- N/A- 5.0 is factored at 325 hp with a shipping wt. of 3320 for the coupe. (9.90)

I would think the 2013 CJ with the N/A 5.0 would be the same ????

No 2013 CJ classification on NHRA's site as of the moment.
