Watch The First 11-Second Runs From An EcoBoost Mustang – Livernois Motorsports Gets It Done

The 2015 Mustang nuclear arms race is ON! We ran into Dan Millen on the SEMA show floor and he told us that the Livernois Motorsports shop EcoBoost Mustang had run in the 11 second zone with tuning and tires. Considering that they have only been screwing with the car for a couple of weeks and the first laps they laid down were in the high 13-second zone, that’s damned impressive. There’s been as much and perhaps more buzz about the four cylinder turbo Mustang than there’s been about the GT models and that is surely a sign of the times. Millen told us that this Mustang is now the quickest EcoBoost anything in the world. He would know as Livernois Motorsports has run Explorers and Tauruses into the deep, deep 12s. Pretty neat that the first EcoBoost powered vehicle to go 11s is the four banger powered 2015 Mustang.

This time of the year is fun for drag fans like us because the freezing cold air that is swooshing through most strips over the next month of two means that engines are making big steam and as long as there is a track for the car to hold on to, there will be more big numbers coming out of cars across the country….EcoBoost Mustangs included!

    This is amazing! The Ecoboost is apparently not much bigger than an A4 sheet of paper and yet can produce a time liked this. I would be interested to find out the horsepower and torque figures form an engine that must be almost lost in the Mustang’s engine bay.

    The Eco boost could become a much swapped engine as it would fit into almost anything – my favourite would be a Leyland (ie non BMW) mini – especially as you could install the complete engine and gearbox from a front wheel drive application. Ford should seriously consider selling the engine and transmission as a separate package to encourage its use.

    And the best thing – it isn’t made by Chevrolet!

    Daammmnnnnnn,I’m glad they shut the dragstrip down in town now,cuz i think if i got beat by a 4 cylinder mustang in my grand national i would have to shoot my car, naw id just go put more boost in it.Till the computer and turbo fried my gn was driven everyday and had a step above stock turbo,injector and cam and would run 11.90’s with regular street tires and 20 lbs of boost from a te44 turbo.
