Default Screaming for a Street Version

I know I've become a broken record on this subject, but check out this
link and tell me Ford doesn't need a street version of this car. That
drag-strip stance (and rear suspension setup) and starkness. And the
CJ cap on the rear end... c'mon on Ford. It's time to celebrate
Mustang's drag racing history with a new CJ.

Pretty cool!

Going by the photos, the car seems fully fitted with door panels,
passenger seat, and carpet. Can't really tell if there is a headliner or
not. Can't see if it has a back seat or rear seat delete kit.

Wouldn't an off road car like that be stripped of all it's extra weight?

On a street version I'd love to see the rear seat delete.

IIRC, they weigh close to 3,000 even. If they could make a street
version weigh even under 3,400, it would really amp up the
responsiveness.
