If it is the guy I'm thinking of he was one of my first students . He use to come out with a really, really nice 993 Turbo that was at or near concours condition with only about 17K miles on it. First time I got it in I was like "this car is way to nice to be driving out here" His response was "you're the third or forth instructor who has told me that." Sometime later he started showing up in the orange GT3. He drives it well.

2007 Dodge Nascar sold today at Mecum for only 27k. No Reserve.

Not sure what events you could run with it at that age, but it was cheap compared to the build cost.

Now, there are better ways to get around a road course then in a circle car.

No it is the race car (has not been street legal for a long time), the guy who drives it is really fast.

Just pulled some earlier data with an entrance of 140. He went in at 150, we were discussing where to brake coming out of the transition in one of the class room sessions.

Usually a handful of them at Group 52 events at WGI spewing more oil onto the track than a 944. There is a certain cool brutality to the way they drive around the track.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the oil thing. In fact, it was a NASCAR that dropped it's entire oil content in the sole of the boot which led to the demise of Pawxster v1. Worst hit evah.

Does this "Mustang" have any relation to the Ford Mustang people buy in real life ?

Obviously not. It is not doing a burnout in a crowded public place with a subsequent loss of control into the cars on the other side of the road.

Of course it does.
It says "Ford" on the front.
What a silly question.
