Talking The drag pack is back!

Have you guys seen the new drag pack mustangs?They are awsome!Their was an article in mm&ff their will be a stage 1 & 2 stage 1 you get a revised air box 260 ponys ,your choice of weld prostars or draglites(fats and skinnies factory!)nitto drag radials ,quick disconnect sway bar ,drag suspension including air bag on the rear passenger side and "better"upper and lower control arms,drive shaft safty loop ,31 spline axles ,welded axle tubes,braced rear end cover,a coustom chip,your choice of a tremic 5 speed a lentic auto or a viper t56 6 speed,you also get line lock already installed and you even get a helmit.thats all i can think of i might have missed some but any way the stage2 comes with a vortec Strim blower and a functioning shaker hood scoop and 375hp and 355foot pounds of torque.WWWWOOOOWWWW!!!All that stuff in it self isnt THAT wild but the fact that its from the factory makes it 10x cooler.Maybe high gas prices and all the muscle car is back in a big way.Thought i would share my excitement cant wait to see if the price tag is non astronmical.

Looks like I'll be buying a MM&FF mag to check the article out.

I'll believe it when I see it.

If its true, I'll be putting all three of my stangs in the paper FOR SALE, that is after I change my underwear.

If its true, looks like Ford is finally getting the picture.

yes it is true I have read the article. But I don't think that ford builds them. It's some tuner company. Who cares about that, though, it's a drag pak!!

It probably is a dealership offering this. Ford wouldn't take a liability risk that big.

Sounds like EXACTLY how every Mustang GT should come from the factory.

My buddy is taking delivery of his '01 on Wednesday. Lizard King, he's the same guy who rolled his 'Notch duking it out with a WS6 a couple of weeks ago - he's looking forward to meeting you

I'm pretty sure the drag pak ford offered on the older mustangs was just something like a tachometer and a couple other pretty small things...how could you get confused with this?

The drag pack ford offered on the older cars, like the 69-70 Mustangs was alot more than a Tach and small stuff.

The rear gear was usually kicked up to 4.10's or higher, there were also heavy duty Tranny and Oiler coolers, suspension pieces, traction bars, I believe also Sub Frames.

There werent any engine mods in ways of performance, but the chassis and durability of the cars and engines were tweaked heavily (well considering the time period).

Oh and they also added a tach.

I'm not at all impressed by the stage 2 car. I was at the NMRA race in Reynolds and it was running there. I'm sorry but for what it has (blower, auto, DR's) it should go much quicker than it did. The MPH is very low as well. I lined up against him in qualifying and had seen the blower in the pits. I figured this guy would walk by me. It never happened.

To be honest both of these are over priced in my opinion. I've added the price up for parts and I could build the same car for much cheaper. If you have to pay for the work it might still come in cheaper than paying their premium. Of course I may be a little baised since my car runs quicker than both Stage 1 and 2 with less work and much much cheaper price tag.
