Understand what you're saying about electric fans and not needed on the track. I would guess - the great majority of
stang owners are weekend warriors and drive their cars on
the roads in all kinds of conditions.
When the fan clutch kicks in - there is indeed a drag on the motor. I say stay with the electric fan - what do you have to lose - a little re-wiring work? Make sure all your wires and connections are good with solder and don't rely on the provided "wimp crimps" sometimes called ez connectors or crimp connectors.
