SS/E 2008 Mustang at Atlanta

Chad Rhodes · 04-13-2009, 02:32 PM

so, how many of the 50 cars were convertibles?

Rusty Gillis · 04-13-2009, 03:32 PM

They bought a Shelby and Ford asked them to turn it into a Cobra Jet according to their website.

George Wright · 04-13-2009, 04:35 PM

There are actually 54 Cobra Jets that have "FR500CJ" serial numbers. 50 regular production cars built by Roush. 2 pre-production builds and 2 "mules". Our car is one of the "mules". It is the only convertable.

75 factory 625hp motors were built for these cars, so where are the other 25 or 21???

George,
Good luck in Atlanta.
I have a question is your car a Stocker running Super Stock or is it built to race Super Stock?

Rusty,

We can run Stock or Super Stock with it. However, we do make changes to run it in Super Stock. We will change it back to Stock for the divisional races. If you go to Atlanta this weekend, stop by and introduce yourself.

George what is the SS HP RATING and what does it weight. w/driver . Just wondering .. May put one in my SS car .. Red Le Blanc Thanks

I was at Atlanta for all 4 days of the race, and I spoke to George and Jimmy on numerous occasions. The question has been asked concerning what changes were made to convert the car to SS. Jimmy told me that they installed more aggressive cams, but did not change the intake manifold because there isn't anything available at this time; and, of course, they ran the wider tires that are allowed in SS. Hope that this info answers everyone's questions.
