  • 2015 Ford Mustang GT – Electronic Burnout Control System [video]

    Ford US has won my heart with their latest technology called Electronic Burnout Control System. This is probably the best feature that car can have and will make you smile all day long, especially if you are behind the steering wheel of an all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT.

    The Electronic Burnout Control System is essentially a line-lock, which keeps the front brakes locked while releasing the rear brakes. The driver can hit the accelerator to do a burnout without having to balance one foot on the brake and the other on the gas. This also protects your rear brake pads and the clutch.

    Of course, the spectacular system is  “intended for use only on racetracks”. The 2015 Mustang GT is powered by the upgraded 5.0-liter V8 engine – 420HP (310 kW) and 530 Nm (390 lb-ft).

    “We’re using advanced controls technology for the all-new Mustang to provide some of our most dedicated fans with an industry-first feature they can use when they go to the track. With electronic line-lock, customers who drive their Mustangs to work all week and then compete on the weekends will appreciate not having to modify their brake systems to be able to do effective tire prep at the drag strip.”, commented Mustang Chief Engineer Dave Pericak.

    Enjoy!

  • 2015 Ford Mustang GT – 5.0 liter Supercharged V8 – 700HP

    The new 6th generation Ford Mustang is going to get a supercharger kit from Whipple. They will offer a 2.9 liter twin-screw supercharger for the V8 5.0 liter engine.

    The result is no less than 700HP (522 kW) when running on 91-octane fuel. This is an increase of 280HP, but nothing is mentioned about the torque. The supercharger kit is offered with a standard six-or optional ten-rib belt system along with an aluminum intercooler.

    The customers will be able to opt for a 5-year or 100,000-mile engine warranty.

    – An estimated 700HP with 91-octane fuel
    – No other upgrades required, just massive power right out of the box, more HP per PSI than any other system
    – Front entry W175ax (2.9 liters) Whipple twin-screw supercharger that significantly outperforms competitions 1.9L and 2.3L roots-type systems
    – 26% more displacement then Eaton 2.3L supercharger
    – Integrated Crusher™ 170mm oval inlet
    – Massive air-to-water aluminum bar-plate intercooler with 15% more square area then previous generation
    – Massive aluminum intercooler reservoir holds more than double the IC water then previous generation
    – Whipple Superchargers massive oversized intercooled air-bypass system for industry leading reduction of burst knock and incredible fuel economy
    – Self-contained oversized oil system for dramatically reduced oil temps in even the most demanding conditions
    – One-turn turn inlet allows for decreased induction losses when compared to rear inlet systems and 180deg bends
    – Center discharge port for better cylinder to cylinder distribution then other twin-screws with cobbled together billet adapters and forward facing discharge
    – Discharge down design allows for less pressure loss which gives more power at lower boost levels
    – Top mount design allows for cooler operation then upside down SC’s that conduct heat from engine and are trapped by runners and covers, causing hotter manifold temps and less power per pound of boost
    – More boost at the “hit” than any other twin-screw
    – Flat torque curve for incredible acceleration
    – Oversized heat exchanger for incredible intercooler water temps
    – 65lb/hr high flow fuel injectors included
    – Proven 6-rib belt system with adjustable idler system for easy belt changes and multiple pulley configurations
    – Optional race 10-rib belt system
    – Stainless steel jack-shaft with unique plastic cover (or optional carbon fiber) for increased safety
    – OEM quick connect fittings for easy installation, no ugly brass or steel fittings on the SC
    – Complete kits, Tuner kits and Hot Rod kits are available
    – Available in wrinkle black, polish or any custom color
    – Easily upgradeable with big cold air intakes and bigger throttle bodies
    – Optional 5-year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty

  • Ford Auctions First 2015 Mustang GT For $300,000

    2015-Ford-Mustang-GT-First-Unit-shadow2015-Ford-Mustang-GT-First-Unit-medium-1Last week we talked about the Barret-Jackson sale where the rights to buy the first production Camaro COPO for 2014 and the first Z/28 were auctioned off. However, there were even more production firsts that went under the hammer. Car collector and North Texas Ford dealer, Sam Pack signed a $300,000 check after placing a winning bid for the first retail production 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Yikes.

    It’s not just money spent for bragging rights though. A part of the sum goes to the JDRF charity, a leading diabetes research organisation that has been endorsed from Ford since 1983. Mr Pack will also have the benefit to peruse the options list and customize the GT to his liking. He can choose any colour scheme he fancies for the inside and outside, and he can go with either a manual or an automatic. (fingers crossed for stick). Oh, and the design team will sign the car as an act of appreciation of the donation to JDRF.

    The 2015 Ford Mustang brandishes a throaty V8 that turns out “more than” 420 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. It also doesn’t fall behind in terms of connectivity and ease of use. And by that we mean launch control – for that exquisite off-the-line start. A pony that actually doesn’t want to destroy it’s tires. Who would have thought?
