Here's a dumb question but it has never crossed me before, so I feel stupid to ask, a car lot here has a silver or tungsten mustang with black stipe package and my son sees it says FR 300 , dad what does that mean ? sorry I do not know, then he comes back and tells me hey dad you know that Saleen that's been here so long after it sold yah well Saleen had a recall on the break lines so a whole buch have to come back to get fixed. gee and he's 10 and getting more up on it than me

 

I thought the FR 500 was called that because it had 5.0Liter. It has 415hp so it's not named after the hp.

So going by that naming convention, assuming it was a GT, the dealer should have called it a FR 460 (for 4.6L). V6 would be a FR 400.

This has little to do with your post (and provides no useful info), but your title made me think of it.

 

I'm guessing FR means Ford Racing and 300 for the amount of Horse Power. The Saleen issue is new to me.

 

I don't know about the "FR", but my mustang came with a dealer installed stripe kit across the bottom that says GT 300.

 

I'll try to take a picture if it's not sold on my way home tomorrow ! looks like a regulat GT to me and I don't see them shelling out a wack of dough to sell it.

 

Here is a pic (yes a blown up version of my avatar) of what my sticker is.

 

ok it was 4:00 am this morning and this was the only time I had to get a picture , tomorrow if my car come in I will ask and get details.
ps the Saleen that is there for the break line recal has sat in the lot longer than the guy has owned it ? but its ok weve had wet crappy weather.

 

Ugly.......

 

ford racing 300hp i guess

 

Looks like the dealer just slapped some stripes on trying to sell it faster.
