For decades the Ford Mustang has appeared in movies, commercials, famous songs and several different public events. Within this country, it has earned its celebrity status well with ups and downs just like the best out there.

During its initial release the Mustang was so popular that Ford’s original 100,000 unit sales production was pushed with 22,000 orders on just the first day alone. In the ‘Stang’s very first year on the market, around 417,000 units total were sold to the American public.

The Mustang automotive was not without competition however. The Chevrolet Camaro was the Mustang’s closest rival throughout the years and finally is making a return to the market much like the retro ‘Stang models did in ’05.

Regardless, Jack Roush, racing and performance king;  always has backed the Ford Mustang since 1964 when he bought his first after graduating college.  Roush commented about the Ford Mustang’s initial release, “I was one of the targets [customers] at the time, they got me. Bull’s-eye.”

It’s hard to believe that back in those days (1964) the Mustang sold for merely $2,368 to the public. Today the new Ford Mustang sells for nearly $22,000.

The 2010 Mustang models are releasing right in the middle of a recession but with a lower price and the newly implemented auto buyer’s credits the Mustang could be even more attainable than its predecessors. Ford will offer very flexible and affordable options in the new model, which will allow consumers to custom order their very own pony ride.

Regardless, it is amazing that after 45 years the Ford Mustang is still at the top of all the other pony rides out there. Many different custom racing models and body design tweaks later, the Stang’ is still riding around at the top of its game.

Say what you want, but when any Mustang pulls up to that light you know for sure the necks of people somewhere nearby are craning as they try to get a second glance.

The “Racecraft” is the new division of Saleen, and the first product of this division is to be the 420S high-performance Mustang. Aside from the Racecraft’s powerful 4.6 liter V8 engine, a supercharger also will be added under the Mustang’s hoods. Likewise, some of their parts will be upgraded as well. Overall, this 420 horsepower powerhouse can definitely make it to the race track.

This performance kit also features a great suspension for cornering, exterior decals, lightweight wheels, and great trims in its interior. Its pricing is just about right in the $40,000 range. And if you aren’t satisfied with all these features yet, you can purchase the upgraded 475 horsepower version at the Saleem Racelab catalogue for less than $1,000. The upgrade will not void the 36,000 mile/3 year warranty for the kit while putting you extremely close to the power of GT500 at around $5,000 less.

Racecraft is basically put together for a single purpose; that is, to provide high-performance vehicles without the sky-high price. It also gets rid of all the frills in race cars to give you only the most cutting-edge technology in vehicle engineering and performance parts.

You also can work together with Racelab easily for more customization and upgrades. In addition to the 420S, Saleem also promises to unveil more performance vehicles in the near future. In fact, its release date is set at as early as October this year.
