The owner of this bad boy is Brad Gusler. Now if that name sounds familiar, it should, he and his wife own BG racing, and have been racing the NMRA Truck & Lightning class for years.

At last years PRI trade show, a crazy idea got into Brad’s head, “Let’s build the fastest, most bad ass 2015 Eco Boost Mustang this world will ever see.” Brad pitched the idea to his sponsors, SCT and Race Star Wheels. They thought it was an insane idea and jumped right on board. To find someone to work on the chassis, the PRI show was the place to start. Brad approached Watson Racing and told them his idea. Looking just for a simple roll cage, Watson quickly said we have a better idea. After the show, Brad went to his local Ford dealer and ordered a car. Once it came in, the car was immediately loaded on transport and shipped to Watson Racing. Watson went to work building an all out race car. With Watson’s experience working on their own 2015, the same idea’s and parts were thrown into this car.
Watson Racing swapped out the steering wheel for the Cobra Jet one.
First thing Watson did was gut the chassis. All those expensive options were ripped out and thrown in the garbage. Watson’s then removed the heater box, AC, all the sound deadener, airbags, and anything and everything else this car didn’t need to go down 1320. Once gutted Watson went to work installing their custom parts. Up front is a Watson Chromoly tubular K-member, along with their drag race tubular front bumper. The coil overs are from Strange, and this is the first 2015 Mustang with a set of Aerospace Brakes on the front of the car. |
The interior was fitted with Watson’s 6 point roll cage, center stack delete panel, race seat mount, and rear seat aluminum bulkhead/close out (rear seat delete kit). They also installed an intercooler tank, along with a cobra jet steering wheel. Out back, the car received a set of Ford Racing half shafts, aluminum IRS bushing kit. Also, the Ford Racing 3.73 gears sitting in the rear pumpkin. The rear suspension is once again Strange, using double adjustable shocks and the first 2015 to have Aerospace rear brake kit installed. In the trunk, a fuel Cell was added with an Aeromotive fuel pump inside. |
