Ford racing the 1st to mod 3 versions of the 2015 Mustang

[Todd03Blown]

Wonder why nothing was mentioned about gutting the interior out of the cars as well... It's good to know the shops will be able to extract more because the 5.0's N/A and S/C don't look very impressive. The EB was impressive though!!!

They only took out the front seats and put in a Recaro seat. Also the cars were all premium, so the heaviest.

So a tune, exhaust, and slicks gets you 12.50s with a 4-banger. I must be old, because I remember 2V GTs with blowers having to do serious work to run those times.

Yup, my 03 GT vert had a vortech and a cobra irs and made 380/380 at the wheels. Ran consistent 12.50s on MT drag radials

 

[HEMI LOL]

12.50s from the EB with tire and tune. DAMN

Got it. Quick question, does Ford, GM, etc provide the cars to the aftermarket or do they have to purchase them for development?
My guess would be they have to buy them.

They will assist with providing cars in certain situations. For example, there are a few aftermarket companies who have 2015's right now, that are building/modding them for the SEMA show.

The majority - no. We are one of, if not the largest aftermarket chassis/suspension companies for the current platform (S197) and we just have to order our cars through our local dealer, and hope we get them asap to start development.

FRPP CAI on the way?

You might want to look at about 2:20 of the video. I see metal floor.

Yeah, isn't the FRPP a Steeda w/ a different color filter?

Passenger seat and carpet were missing.

 

[Deranged2013]

Very nice. The thing I'm most excited about is, ARH already has a set of long-tubes that fit.

+1, rear set was gone as well.

+1
The 5.0 N/A didn't run as well as I expected but this is probably their Procal tune I'm guessing...

I case you guys missed it, Editor Turner wrote an article with a break down of the vid for the SVTP Front Page:

News: 2015 Mustang Drag Video - First and Fast

Nice! Noticed they all had the "Heavy-Duty Half-shaft Kit".

I wonder if that is going to be necessary for any drag duty and I'm scared to even hear a price for these and installation?

I think that might be just a development piece for future cars/projects as mentioned in another thread. I mentioned that the 03/04 half shafts have held up to big HP and it's now a 12 year old car and tech.

 

[K-Dubb]

Was there a similar test done by frpp for a 11-14 GT with an frrp sc? If so what did it run?

Also, for the eb and 5.0 supercharged runs, DA was well over 2k.

 

[GotHemi?]

Dont understand using a slick on the EB & NA. They upgraded the half shafts so shouldnt be a problem running a radial. (Slicks are more forgiving due to sidewall flex) Im willing to bet both would have ran better on a radial. Def better mph.

 

[auto02]

Not sure what D/A calculator you used but not according to the one on drag times...

I used drag times. Again, this is just for the eb/sc'd gt.
