Has been a very, very busy year for the Hurst Performance Vehicles – wouldn’t you say?  I mean they have launched everything from their 50th Anniversary Dodge Viper all the way the newest Pontiac G8 and now … they have added on the 2010 Hurst Ford Mustang Pace Car.  This particular car is going to come around the middle of the month and it is going to be one heck of a pace car.

The pace car will be created for the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge race at Miller Motorsports Park on 9/19 and then afterward, the 2010 Hurst Ford Mustang Pace Car will make its appearance at all sorts of different events then, it will be auctioned off for charity at the start of 2010.

The 2010 Hurst Ford Mustang Pace Car is going to be a vision in white and gold, both the interior as well as the exterior and to be quite frank … it is going to be one hot little Mustang!

Who doesn’t love a Shelby? It has long been known for looking cool and going fast — but the Shelby CS GT40 takes that reputation to whole new heights.

John Ford the second started the GT40 project rolling about forty six years ago, while Eric Broadley, the chief designer of Lola, who was in charge of building the very first GT40s.

The car has a ginormous V8, though on the racetrack at least, it tends to tamper a bit with visibility out the back window. The good news is that the Shelby does not have to be relegated to the track — you can just be content with knowing it can kick some serious butt while you are there.

Of course, that contentment comes at a serious price — $135,834, to be exact, but that ain’t bad for a Superperformance car that can go from zero to sixty in 3.2 seconds.
