Over the weekend Ford used the heavily camouflaged 2010 Mustang to be the pace car for the Kohler International Challenge vintage race at Road America. The Mustang was only the prototype that played host to the Saturday Mustang Corral in Elkhart, Wisconsin.
The Mustang Corral was a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the GTP Mustang. This particular Mustang won its debut race at Road America. We will get a chance to check out the production version of the 2010 ‘Stang when it is revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show this November.
There are some cars that just don’t seem to die out or fade out no matter what is going on in the world. Steve Saleen can be credited for many of the best cars that have been around over the years and even though he says that he is retired we all knew deep down that this wouldn’t last. After all you can’t get rid of some of the best cars on the market.
Ford has built many production cars and factory-built racers during the last four decades. What most of them don’t know is that most of these racers were derived from the Mustang. Since the middle of the ‘90’s these racers have include the Cobra R’s and a few variants of the FR500.

For those of you who were planning on getting the 2009 Mustang you may find yourself in a bit of a fight with the other Mustang enthusiasts who were hoping for the same thing. Only 45,000 of these Mustangs will be produced – which is going to make it hard for many people to get their hands on one.
