I don't think some people realise how much mindshare drag racing gets in the USA with people compared to here. Probably less than there used to be given the amount of old dragstrips getting reclaimed for other uses but it's still huge.

All 50 Cobra Jet Mustangs have already been pre-sold, but the bits and pieces that go into them can be ordered from the Ford Performance Parts catalogue, which means even a bogger V6 Mustang can be converted into a fire-breathing drag car.
Nice. Into an XE sedan you go!
