In the wee hours of Wednesday morning Ford quietly released these official pics of the Mustang GT350H (a.k.a. Rent-A-Racer). Some of the shots were taken on location at a Hertz rental car outlet, which pays homage to the good ol’ days when you could plunk down some cash and have your way with a Mustang for a day. No word yet on whether or not the Hertz of today will be offering the GT350H in its lineup, though we’re hoping it will. Nothing could perk up our summer vacation more than upgrading from a facile Focus to a 320-hp, black-and-gold striped Mustang with hood pins at the rental counter.

The dice have been cast on the Shelby GT-H in Las Vegas where production of the limited edition Mustang has just begun at Shelby’s facility in the city of sin. The resurrected “Rent-A-Racer” will populate the planet to the tune of 500 copies that will be made available to rent through the Hertz Fun Collection at select airport locations nationwide later this year. With 325-hp on tap beneath the foot of any average Joe with a license, we think it might be a good idea to spring for the extra insurance on this rental.

Last time I was in the USA, I paid for a Galant with sat nav, and got a convertable mustang with sat nav, cd, and other guff at no extra expense. I was happy - Crusin in Southern California in a lovely car in the middle of spring.... good times, good times...  :

Do Ford still own Hertz? Weren’t they going to sell part (or all) of it off because of Ford’s financial difficulties?

This is a vid on the shelby gt500, nothing special. Rather than start another thread i'll dump it here. Apparently it will have 500hp at the fly.

I have to admit to a long term love affair with Mustangs ever since I was a kid in the sixties and the local Ford Dealer had one on display.
Being a family friend he took us to school in it one day and I can still remember the look on the other kids faces when this Red Mustand burbled up to the front gate and I opened the right hand door and climbed out. What a stir as it had not yet been converted and was still LHD. I can remember standing outside the dealership and staring at it for hours. Maybe that is when my love affair with the blue oval started. I can only imagine what the road safety groups would say if we had that ad showing over here. Mr Mooch
