Want Ford Racing Performance Parts for your 2015 Mustang? Here’s what’s coming soon…

By Steve Turner

With the media getting its first drives this week, the excitement and information about the highly anticipated 2015 Mustang is reaching a crescendo. As excited as we are to get behind the wheel of the stock S550, anyone reading here knows that Ford is just giving us a great foundation for mods. Fortunately, the Blue Oval’s own Ford Racing division has been hard at work developing a host of upgrades for the new ’Stang.

In Las Vegas, Ford dealers are getting a preview of what’s to come from the factory. Part of that preview includes a look at what Ford Racing Performance Parts are in the pipeline. Well, thanks to the power of the Internet and a friendly dealer, your pals at SVTP got our hands on the brochure the dealers are receiving in Sin City. What it says is pretty exciting!
