The Cars of Death Race: 2006 Mustang GT

Ford’s got some pretty serious marketing muscle invested in the new Death Race movie, so it’s no big surprise that their flagship performance car gets a starring role as the ride of the film’s protagonist. It’s powered by the supercharged 4.6 and loaded up with goodies from Ford Racing. It has a full race suspension setup by Progress Technologies, including coil-overs and a NASCAR-style adjustable track bar. It’s also one of the few cars that gets a brake upgrade, with a full Brembro disc system. I can’t wait to see the hero Frankenstein, played by Jason Statham, put this pony through its paces. And speaking of marketing, notice that it’s the only one of the Death Race cars with a prominently-displayed manufacturer’s emblem? Yeah, that Dodge Ram’s hood ornament is a skull.
