...and here is, at a glance, what they left out:

- COMPLETE Exhaust-Delete ("Prototype Off-Road Exhaust", indeed!)
- Weld AlumaStar Racing Wheels - Front
- NO ROLL BAR, therefore NO added weight being compensated for...
What's the Curb weight of that car NOW? 3,400? 3,350? LESS?
And, if they left these " minor details" out, what ELSE was added-changed-deleted? God knows...
This was STRICTLY a P.R. piece for FRPP. Any relationship to a production EB is only in the minds of those 'net warriors and extreme Ford fans...and CLEARLY illustrates the absurdity of trying to pass off a " few minor modifications" as " worthy of consideration" and " valid engineering data".
There is NO SAE spec for what they've done with these cars. BUYER BEWARE!
...which is a damned STUPID way to promote a NEW vehicle of such importance to the Ford Motor Company... |
There is no definitive proof that the interior of the ecoboost mustang is completely stripped and it is a completely off road exhaust. The only interior shot is the same interior shot used for all three mustangs. There is no definite proof that the exhaust is completely stripped. It simply states Off Road exhaust and I dont remember seeing a shot underneath the car. They could be using a LTH with no cat and a simple dump. Who knows. You're putting way too much into this.
All this video does is show that ford made the right decision on going with the ecoboost over the V6. Those simple mods wouldnt have gotten the V6 into the 12s.
