A Ford Racing modified 2011 Mustang GT has become the fastest production car in the world after David Ragan set the Bristol Half Mile speed record at Bristol Motor Speedway during the World’s Fastest Half-Mile Speed Trials. The Mustang lapped the track at 98.497 mph in 19.481 seconds, with second place going to Scott Russell’s Yamaha Superbike run of 97.990 mph in 19.582 seconds. The Kona Blue Ford Mustang GT was able to achieve such a feat with its 5.0L supercharged engine provided by Ford Racing. The supercharger kit was able to boost the total output to a blistering 624 HP, up from 412 HP. The suspension was also modified with a Ford Racing FR3 handling pack and stopping power came from the new Brembo big brake kit. You can catch the full World’s Fastest Half-Mile Speed Trials on SpeedTV on April 2, 2011 at 10pm est, but for now, check out the video to see Ragan and his Mustang claim the finishline. .
16 comments: 2011 Mustang GT becomes fastest production car They are really a high class and fastest production grade cars. Though I only see tuned version of this car every where.
 Now yet again another fastest production car. With the competition rising, trying to beat each other with more super cars remodeled to production cars, we can see more and more coming on the way.
 Well, production or not, there is only one thing certain about this one, that it broke the record. Now lets see what kind of car would do that next.
 Yeah, you’re right, this Mustang can still be considered a production version since they really didn’t do that much upgrades. It’s as if they ran a production car with those equipment as default.
 Yeah, I would agree with you on that one, a ZR1 would in fact be able to reach these speeds easily. However, they would still need to do some modifications to it in order for it to sustain such speeds.
 That’s kind of misleading here. This wasn’t a production car. This was a 5.0 that Ford "modified" with their parts. While quite good results, isn’t there actually numerous cars out there that are "factory" that could run quicker. A ZR1 first comes to mind.
 Is that the new face of Mustang? I just asked because Im so tired and sick of Mustang. I agree with you Angelsilhouette. Mustang can;t go that far!
 Now this fastest car competition is starting to heat up. Wonder which brand is going to take that record next. Ferrari would still probably be a strong contender.
 Well that one isn’t really that surprising, considering the amount of power that is in that engine. I think that this one can’t be considered as a production car at all, as it has already been modified.
