If you like carving corners, the crew at Ford Performance keeps singing your tune. Just a month ago in Vegas the Blue Oval hot-rodding division revealed a complete road racer and today at The PRI Show in Indianapolis, Indiana, another turnkey terror took a bow—the track-only Shelby FP350S.
“Our goal has always been to provide those who want to race with equipment that enables them to compete and win,” Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance, said. “Shelby FP350S is our latest example.”
