ok, after months of looking at different cars, i can't get away from the styling of the new mustangs. so i am in the works now of purchasing one for my wife's daily driver, and my weekend toy. i am looking at the standard gt 5 speed with the only option being the 3.73 gear track pack, which is only a $495 option. not too shabby. so here's my question. does anybody know (or are you running) if anybody makes drag wheels for these new cars yet? i will be running them on the weekends. i tried to look up Greg Welds' website, but it is not working at the moment. what about Bogart wheels, will they work? also, what size tires will fit? i hope someone on here already has tried this out and can give me some insight?! pics would be nice too. let me know, thanks!
The 3.73 gears are included with the Track Pack, but they are NOT what the Track Pack is. The Track Pack includes a sport
suspension which include some parts from the Shelby GT500
suspension such as the swaybars, and larger brakes. The Track Pack lists for $1530, I believe.
Just to clarify - you need to opt for the GT Premium in order to get the 3.73 option. If you get the GT Deluxe you will not be able to do that, unless you buy it bare bones and do the gearing and reprogramming yourself.
The 3.73s
can be had with the Deluxe, but the Track Pack
can not. The Track Pack isn't listed on Ford's site as of yet, but it became available on August 3rd.
The Track Pack can only be had on the Premium models
through dealerships.
I spoke with a dealer last week and told him I didn't want all the bells and whistles, and only wanted a Deluxe, but I also wanted the Track Pack, plus a stripe, and possibly upgraded wheels. He told me,
"That combination isn't available on the Deluxe, but we can make it happen if you order one factory-direct." I was also told that I could get an
even better price by ordering direct because of less dealer involvement, and because of that, higher costs aren't passed on to the buyer. I'm not sure how much of that statement rings true, but that is what I was told.
When I get my Mustang, I want the lightest possible car with the largest host of performance goodies available; it's all about performance. My Mustang will not be a daily driver, so I'm not worried about being coddled in luxury.
