Oh yea... who was talking about the mustang being drag limited to 151 mph as in the body stops moving forward at 151mph?


"HAJEK MOTORSPORTS WILL ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH E-85 SPEED RECORD AND SURPASS NASCAR SPEED RECORD IN E-85 MUSTANG FR500C"

“It all changed when I first saw the Mustang FR500C,” said Hajek. “That car was amazing and it really got me thinking about how we could really accomplish some cool things if we put our minds to it. The FR500C has won championships and it has won high profile races, but I felt like it hasn’t received the credit or attention it deserves. So I decided it was time to chase some of these records and to make a little history. I started talking with the guys at Ford Racing and they have been incredibly supportive of our efforts.”

Last August, he took an E-85 converted Mustang FR500C to the Bonneville Salt Flats in search of the land speed record for an Ethanol powered car. Forced to run in the unlimited fuel class, his E-85 Ethanol powered Mustang posted an initial run of over 252 mph. A mechanical failure didn’t allow the team to make the validation run, but the 252 mph run earned their car the unofficial designation by some as the ‘fastest production Mustang on earth.’
On Wednesday, May 13, Hajek Motorsports will embark on its next challenge, with technical support from Ford Racing, when they attempt to break the 22-year-old NASCAR speed record held by Bill Elliott. Elliott himself will pilot Hajek’s E-85 Mustang FR500C, which has been reconfigured to NASCAR specs, at Talladega in an attempt to break his 212.809 mph qualifying lap from 1987 at the same track. FIA officials will be on site to verify the attempt and to validate the record.

Hajek Motorsports and Ford Racing hope to continue the success from Hajek’s last Ford Racing-related program. It was Hajek who eagerly accepted the challenge of taking delivery of the first 40th Anniversary Mustang FR500CJ, better known as the Mustang Cobra Jet. With only a month to prepare, he entered four Cobra Jets for the NHRA season opener in Pomona, Calif. Not only did his team meet the deadline, but Hajek’s Cobra Jet driven by John Calvert duplicated the success of the original CJs by winning its debut race at the NHRA Winternationals.

“Brent and his team typify the high level of enthusiasm and dedication we see from a lot of our grass roots racers and private teams that campaign Ford cars and trucks in a wide variety of series every week,” said Brian Wolfe, director of Ford North American Motorsports. “Hajek Motorsports has set their focus on breaking a variety of racing records and, although they are a private team, we are glad to aid them with engineering and technical support in their quest to make motorsports history while driving a Ford.”

“It got to the point where I was running out of cars to collect so I decided I better create some new classics,” said Hajek. “Nobody has ever taken the same car to Bonneville and Talladega, so we decided to be the first to do it. I have always thought that the only person who should break Bill Elliott’s NASCAR speed record is Bill Elliott, so next week will be pretty exciting for everyone involved.”

The Hajek Motorsports E-85 Mustang is currently at Bill Elliott’s race shop in Dawsonville, Georgia, going through final preparations. Early next week, the team will scrub tires and do initial testing, in anticipation of breaking the record on Wednesday afternoon.

No, the person meant with the amount of stock horsepower the Mustang has. It takes a certain amount of force to continue pushing the vehicle faster once you hit a certain speed where the drag of the car really comes into play and apparently the stock Mustang GT's are limited by HP and drag to 151. If you add more HP of course the car can go faster!

That Mustang is as close to a stock mustang as Filet Mignon is to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

the comment was "doesnt matter if it tops out at 155mph the mustang is drag limited to 151mph."

So what does a custom car that is built for land speed records, have to do with that statement? I am pretty sure it was referring to a stock mustang.

it has to do with that statement being broad and false, i have personally been in a stock mustang @ 165mph verified by one of those g-tech gizmos. not my mustang.. although it was stupid to even be in the car, but my friend is a little off his rocker and so am i.

07 gt stock 5 speed with a tune being the only mod. 3.55 gears from the factory (tune takes the limiter off and maybe adds 5hp if he's lucky)

Probably more than that since most everything says 149.
