The classification guide does not list the 2018 Ecoboost Mustang, so if you wanted to run it, I think you'd have to back-date it and run it as a 2015 model. I know the nose is different, but I don't know what else is different.

If you're able to run it, it would be a natural J/S car at 12.78 pounds per factored horsepower. You could add or subtract weight to run one class up or down (K/S or I/S).

If the one you have is a Performance Package car, they have larger/heavier front brakes than the non Performance Package car.

Have you driven it?

I want to see Ecoboost Mustangs heads-up racing Ecotec Camaros. Stick only and we could call it Jr Factory Stock. It would sound like a swarm of mad bumblebees

I didn't drive that one. I did drive a 2018 GT350 a couple of weeks ago. Pretty quick and I like the sport mode for the exhaust.

I don't think the GT350 (or it's flat-plane engine) is listed in the NHRA Stock Classification Guides, and it's only available as a stick-shift.

I didn't think it was either. I think the ecoboost Mustang would be a fun ride. Stickered at $35,000 isn't that bad either.

Stickered at $25,000 is even better.

Very true. I think this is the top of the line package. Orange Fury is the color.

The base Ecoboost Mustang starts at $25,845.

The "Premium" Ecoboost Mustang starts at $30,860.

The Orange Fury paint (which I like) is a $495 option.

And the "Performance Package", which adds 19" wheels, stiffer suspension, 3.55 Torsen diff, bigger brakes, and a few other odds and ends, is a $2,495 option. This option would make it more fun as a street car, but the extra weight would not be helpful for a drag car. I'd pass on the "Performance Package" and put that $2,495 into things that make it go faster.
