GT350 Hertz to make a comeback.

Ford insiders have leaked plans to re-introduce the famous “Rent-a-Racer” program where one could rent a special 1966 Shelby GT350H through Hertz. Rumour has it that later this year Hertz will rent a limited number of 2006 Mustang GT’s likely painted in black and gold stripes like the cars in the original program. The new Hertz GT’s will be tuned by Shelby American in Las Vegas to produce approximately 20 HP more than the 300 HP rating of the stock Mustang GT.

Considering you can’t even rent a standard 5-speed GT through Hertz, the new GT350H will surely be a popular upgrade – assuming any of the cars are returned after the first rental.
