What you see above is the hot looking 2008 Car FX Mustang put together by the folks at Car FX. You can read all about it at 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords. The short version is that this beast has all sorts of performance goodies, full track suspension, interior upgrades and the like. Names like Roush, Paxton, Fidanza, Ford Racing, Tokico, Corbeau and more. A 4 point Autopower roll cage is also listed. It puts out 600 horsepower. In other words, this is one wicked beast.
A word about roll cages: a 4 point cage is actually a simple roll bar, nothing more. A quick glance at just about any road race or rally rule book will show that a cage must be mounted upon steel plates that are then mounted to the floor. it has been a long time since I’ve built a race car, but the standard size used to be 1/4″ thick plate that measured roughly 6×6″ and welded or bolted through the floor to prevent it from puncturing the floor in the event of a roll over.
