2014 Mustang 3.7 V6 in Ihra Pure Stock

efi v6 · 08-13-2013, 12:24 PM

Hi Every One,
I just got a 2014 Mustang 3.7 v6, I would like to build it for ihra pure stock . I ran stock elim. years ago with a 70 Chevelle but a lot has changed . I could not find it in the stock classification guide ! How can I get it Classified to run in pure stock would really like to start class racing again ! I did some math and it seems it will fall in D or E /pure stock.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Tony K.

Contact Mike Baker and he will help you get it sorted.
That would be great to get fresh blood in the sport.

Sure hope he can get you classified.

Welcome to the board.
Congrats on getting your 2014 Mustang. I would love to have one of those to tinker with.

Since IHRA follows NHRA's lead (for the most part), I would think it might take some real good talking to get that car approved for Pure Stock, seeing as how Ford only wants their Cobra Jet Mustangs allowed in Stock.

However, if IHRA would take the lead and allow the new production pony cars in Stock, I would think they could attract a lot more racers to the class. (and fresh blood)

Notice I said production cars and not "1 of 50" cars....

I would love to see the V-6 Camaros, Mustangs, and Challengers allowed in Stock.
Would be great to see what those cars can do.

Thanks guys I will get in touch with Mike Baker to see what can be done ! I hope they get the new cars classified ! it will add big time to the car count in stock ! I Know a few people that would compete in pure stock with Camaros, mustangs and dodges. My Mustang has already gone a best of 13.73 @ 100 in good air with just an k& n air filter and a mild tune. Thanks for all the help will keep you posted on what happens.
Thanks again

Maybe IHRA can get specs on a real car that the general public can buy off the dealer's showroom floor. All NHRA gets is factory racecar specs that the general public cannot purchase or be driven on the street.

Hell, I was advocating for Imports to be included.

This is out right Un-American not to add real street driven American cars..

Ok I sent Mike Baker and e-mail asking how I can get the mustang classified for pure stock ! when I here back from him on this I will let everybody know what he said !
Thanks for all the support !
Tony K.
P.S.- I looked at my time slips again and it ran 101.65 mph with 2.73 gears , auto. trans.and street tires ! not to bad for a stock V6 that weights 3670 with me in it and a 1/2 tank of gas !

That must be Fords decision not to furnish the new car specs to NHRA. I can't understand why NHRA wouldn't want them. It would have to mean a few more cars out there.

The 4.17 first gear really makes a difference in those 6 speed autos don't they?! The auto also isn't a power robbing slush box they used to be anymore.

I hope you are able to get it accepted! Congrats on the new ride.
