SEMA 2008 – Ford Unvelis FR500CJ Drag Car

November 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Ford kicked off today’s SEMA press conference by unveiling its F-150 SVT Raptor, but for us the off-road brute is literally yesterday’s news. Still, one new performance product wasn’t enough for FoMoCo. They hit us with a big surprise this morning by unveiling this, the FR500CJ Cobra Jet – a turnkey drag car.

First and foremost, it’s loud. And indoors, it’s especially loud. The car uses a 5.4-liter supercharged V-8, and is completely NHRA ready. With its huge rear drag tires, it’s capable of sprinting through the quarter-mile in the 10-second range.

Similar to the FR500 race car, the CJ can be purchased at any Ford dealer that offers Ford Racing products. If you want to do some serious drag racing, this is a good place to start.
