The FR500S is a spec built racer straight from SVT at Ford. Weighing in at 3600lb (including driver) it is a fairly heavy sports car. It was build specifically for the Mustang Challenge and when production was completed just under 100 models were built. From birth this car is all FORD and only partially a racer. It was constructed on the assembly line right beside the street version, the Mustang GT. Having only minor additions put in place after leaving the production line, the car was then race prepped. Tweaking the intake manifold to allow for more air to be brought into the engine and a flap installed in the factory exhaust to open under heavy throttle in order to cut back flow and increase breathability, the FR500S was built for door to door, white knuckle racing. This brought total power output to 325 HP at the crank. Though it doesn't seem like much, the factory gearing and slightly shortened final drive is enough to make your butthole pucker if you aren't ready for it. Along with the power the FR500S added adjustable aero packages and lightened body panels to the factory Mustang. Only adding a limited amount of downforce the cars stick very well under heavy cornering and accelerating due to the weight that remains in the car. Stripped of all interior seating, carpet, wiring, and sound deadening materials, the tub that is left is filled with only the necessities of life; a racing seat with a 5-point harness, a five speed short throw shifter, three pedals, a roll cage, a bottle holder, and the fire extinguisher. |

| Notice Tue drivetrain has changed also some other small changes to balance the field. Please put up the gear ratios to be used with the race transmission dirty.
Also aliens be sure to look up the new alien build. Thanks for everyone's cooperation and all these changes should ensure closer racing for next week. |

| We are using a 3.93 instead of the 3.73 from the real car to simulate a rev limited that we can't use in forza. The 3.93 is better than a 3.73 any day. |

| Using the gears from the last season they ran the series in real life makes them a little more usable. Running Tue old gears made fifth ridiculously long. This allows fifth to be used a little more within reason. |
