Your move, Dodge.
Ford Motor Co. will release an extremely limited number of special-edition Mustang GTs that get up to 727 horsepower — 20 more than Dodge’s popular Hellcat Charger and Challenger sports cars.
The Dearborn automaker partnered with NASCAR legend Richard Petty to create three Mustang GT King Edition pony cars. Only 300 — 243 King models, 43 King Premier models and 14 King Premier convertibles — will be built. The Mustangs will range from $67,495 to $90,495 and customers can now order them through their local Ford dealerships.
“I’ve always liked the look of the Mustang, and the 2016 model gives us a great base car to work with,” Petty said in a statement. “These new King edition Mustangs are pretty much the way I’d build my own. They are great fun to drive, and have a signature single exhaust.”
The modified Mustangs use a factory GT as a base model. Petty’s speed shop, Petty’s Garage, added a supercharger to add 235 horsepower to the stock 435-horsepower 5-liter V8. Options for all three editions include different wheel bushings, a coil-over racing suspension and a supercharger upgrade that results in the 727-horsepower total.
Other modifications include a custom engine calibration, a cold-air intake for better breathing and a MagnaFlow exhaust.
The cars also include custom wheels, rear diffusers, shift knob, sill plates, floor mats, embroidered head restraints and rear spoilers. Every model will also be signed by Richard Petty.
The King Premier edition includes different wheels, a brake upgrade kit, a custom leather trimmed interior and a special stripe package.

The King has forgotten where he came from, he should be racing Dodges instead of Fords but it is all about the money I guess.
As far as the limited edition they will become garage queens. These are really no different then a Roush, Hennessy or the old Yenko Camaros. Even West Coast customs came up with an aftermarket conversion you could order from a dealer. The Hellcat is a production vehicle.
Yet, the stock Mustangs will still note be showing up to the track because they are tired of loosing. Also not the Dodge engines will be available in the entire line not just some "limited" production

PO3 (Join to see) - Totally agree that Mustang is going to be the bomb, Like the Roush Stage III, I am sure a few will buy it to appreciate the performance and drive them like the stole em. I am just so glad to live in an era where the big three are battling it out like this. Who would have thought you could pick up a 500HP muscle car and race it on the same track that the F1 cars are at today. Living the dream and love cars sorry if it came our wrong. And you are never too old to ride, you have your whole life ahead of you.
