Great Looking Car!!!  This is a special edition GT500 Mustang made by Shelby.  Here 'KR' stands for King of the Road, not Knight Rider.  It commemorates 40 years since Shelby had another 'KR' series.  With a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack (revised ignition timing and throttle calibration, plus a cold-air intake) this car now has 540hp.  It also has a different exhaust, short-shifter and shorter final drive ratio  (3.73:1 rear end versus stock 3.31:1) and Ford Racing suspension.  The carbon-fiber hood with the hood pins and new twin scoops is also different.  Ford is building 1000 examples, so they may even appreciate.  If you collect Mustangs, this would be a worthwhile addition to your stable.

Yes Tariq those are good close-up shots you took of that red GT500. I see that you guys got to sit in the car too. Here they were locked up and sitting on a turntable.
