Looks like this Mustang could do with a little more
weight over the front wheels. Clearly its new aluminium V8 is much skinnier
than the lardy iron block it used to have.
But this isn't any old Stang. It's a 2010 FR500CJ - that's CJ for ‘Cobra Jet'
- made by Ford Racing and designed to go straight from showroom to dragstrip.
Cobra Jets have been launching themselves down quarter-mile strips since the
60s, and this latest car will have about 425bhp and cost around $75,000.
And while we're talking about dragsters, we thought we'd show you this, erm, hearse. It completed its run in 45 seconds at an average 27mph, though it was carrying an American Jerome Miller, whose family wanted him to have one last - dead, quick - run down his favourite strip in Wisconsin...

The Stang is cool, but that story about Miller is by far the most original and amazing idea to say farewell to someone who loved racing that much.. :) it' stories like that, that still give me hope for humanity :)

thats fantastic but what happens when you want to turn around a corner then the weels dont seem to have the ability to change the cars direction when in the air.

That car will never see a corner, so it's not an issue. That's like worrying if your boat can cruise at 35,000 ft.
