converting drive by wire set-up to throttle cable
 
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

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 !

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.

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.
