<br /> It's been a busy year for Hurst Performance Vehicles. They launched their <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/29/first-drive-hurst-hemi-challenger/">limited-edition Dodge Challenger</a> at SEMA last November, followed by the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/16/hurst-performance-announces-50th-anniversary-viper/">50th Anniversary Dodge Viper</a>, and most recently, they announced <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/30/hurst-announces-pontiac-h-o-g8-and-g6/">the addition of the Pontiac G8</a> to their lineup. Come mid-September, though, you can add one more to that list. Hurst and BFGoodrich tires have teamed up to create a one-off 2010 Mustang GT Convertible that will serve as the pace car for the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge race at Miller Motorsports Park on September 19. Afterward, the car will attend various events including SEMA, and will eventually be auctioned off for charity at the start of 2010. <br /> <br /> Following the same themes as other Hurst vehicles, the Mustang has a spec sheet that reads nearly identical to the Challenger. The exterior gets a white and gold paint scheme accented by Hurst 20-inch forged wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich KDW tires. A supercharger lies underneath the hood (although it's a Roush roots-type rather than a Vortech centrifugal blower), that pushes the 4.6-liter V8 to 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft torque. Eibach suspension components, a Magnaflow exhaust system, Hurst Competition/Plus short throw shifter, and Katzkin leather interior round out the list of modifications.
