Just as we reported yesterday of Ford Racing’s rumored 12.5s and 12.0s quarter-mile drag times for the 2015 Mustang 2.3L 4-cylinder EcoBoost and naturally-aspirated 5.0L V8 respectively, we have now just heard it OFFICIAL from Ford.
Ford Racing modified 3 versions of the 2015 Mustang for testing at the Milan Dragway in Michigan, the 1/4 drag strip that has hosted many NHRA drag racing events. Naysayers of the S550 Mustang’s capabilities with its new independent rear suspension should be silenced after watching this video of a 2.3L EcoBoost, naturally aspirated 5.0L V8, and supercharged 5.0L V8, all proving their muscle.
