I have a 2011 Mustang GT automatic with drive by wire that needs to be converted to a direct throttle linkage/cable for Stock Class racing.
Anyone with info please pm me.
Thanks

Will do.

Unless you are converting your 2011 GT to make a Cobra Jet look-a-like, then it is not currently legal to run in NHRA Stock. (not sure about IHRA)

Too bad tho, as the new 2011-2012 Coyote Mustang GTs are just plain awesome !

Oh I see. Now I understand. Thanks

Can you convert a new 2011 GT to a Cobra Jet? I thought the "race only" versions were all serialized, therefor you can't duplicate them.

Hopefully I'm wrong..............:o

You can build your own if you want. The VIN has nothing to do with it, nor does a serial number anywhere. You can build it from a body in white if you want, or any Mustang the right year and body style you buy off the lot.

Thank you, Alan! I stand corrected!

LOL. It's like anything else Lew. A guy once said that there were more 69 Camaros racing in Stock Eliminator and Super Stock than Chevrolet ever built. He might just be right.

Was that our buddy Jeff Teuton? Lol

Re: converting drive by wire set-up to throttle cable
 

There were over 243 thousand 1969 Camaro's built, not all of which are racing in Stock and Super Stock, but I get your point. I just wonder how many CJ "clone's or tribute's or recreations" there will be. I'm guessing it'll take more than an engine change and decals!:D

The plot thickens!

Re: converting drive by wire set-up to throttle cable
 

I once heard there are now more 1970 Chevelle SS454 machines around than Chevy ever built....I tend to agree.

5 years from now (or maybe sooner), I predict there will be more CJ "tribute" cars at the track than real CJ's Ford ever actually produced.

With the popularity of these cars, and the fact that alot of 2005-2009, 2010 and later V-6 cars are getting cheaper, the hardest part of making a clone will be to find the special hood and badging.

I talked this over with a friend of mine about buying a used 2010 V-6 car and "cloning" it into a 2010 CJ so as to be able to run the 4.6 3V 232 fact. h.p. crate engine and run K/S.
The hood and body badging parts from Ford are pretty pricey tho.
