Ford has been a known supporter of car racing whether it be on the road course or on the drag strip. Tuning company Hurst Performance recently uncovered the 2010 convertible Ford Mustang set up to be the pace car for the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge.

The limited edition car from Hurst and BF Goodrich uses the Mustang Convertible as its building skeleton. The 2010 pace car was tweaked with a Hurst supercharger that helps the engine output 435 horsepower and about 400 lb-ft of torque. It was also treated with 20 inch aluminum polished rims with a touch of gold for its center spokes. The rims are matched with the g-Force KDW rubbers from BF Goodrich.

A handling package from Eibach utilizes the enhanced power of the Ford Mustang and the grip provided by the tires. Anti-roll bars and coil over dampers were also installed by Hurst. The engine roar comes from the custom made Magnaflow exhaust.

The interior also gets a Hurst treatment as evident with the H logos on the upholstery and mat. A gold T-handle gear shifter was also installed to give that bling and muscle look.

On the outside, the white roof is an eye catcher. Gold stripes are also painted going along well with the logos marking it as the official Pace Car.

The Mustang Pace Car will have a very limited run with only 50 units coming into life. Each will come with a plaque to mark its place in the limited production run. The Hurst team also places their signatures in the trunk of the car.

Sticker price for the Hurst/BF Goodrich Mustang Pace Car begins at $36,450 on top of the regular price of the Mustang GT and the convertible Premium GT. Buyers will have their hands on the car by October.
