Here are just a couple types of systems, but there are many other sources for them:

They are very similar to hand-held fire extingishers, but mounted with hard lines and nozzles to distribute the suppressant. You would generally have one nozzle under the hood and one for the driver, and maybe one near the fuel tank.

Most of the bigger systems are even lesss than $500, and weigh less than 20lbs installed. They have manually actuated types, and also automatic systems triggered by heat.

When you consider that a lot of people wouldn't hesitate to put a $500 part on their car that would make it faster, it is cheap insurance.

Racecar magazine did a nice write-up on fire supression systems a couple months back which is a good resouce if you can track down a copy.
