Ford Mustang go-faster bits confirmed for New Zealand market

For many, the 2018 Ford Mustang will prove to be the provider of more than enough power and fun. 

But, for everyone else, there's a new wave of aftermarket upgrades available locally — as confirmed by CTB Performance and Accessories.

The company have unveiled their 2018 upgrades, from the humble Stage One kit all the way to Stage Three. 

The entry-level Stage One kit will set buyers back $4531, and includes the cold-air intake from the GT350, an 87mm throttlebody, FPRP intake adapter, and calibration (plus a bevy of badging). This props output up to 350kW and 610Nm (up from 339kW and 556Nm respectively). Stage Two takes the same package and adds a GT350 intake manifold for another 30kW, at $7337.

Then you've got the top-tier Stage Three package; which adds a 2650 Twin Vortices Supercharger, lower intake manifold, throttle body, air-inlet system, fuel rails, an air-to-liquid inter-cooler system, drive-shaft hoops, and high-flow injectors at $19,665.

This culminates in a tyre-shredding output of 530kW and 827Nm — equalling the Roush JackHammer package revealed last week.

CTB have also announced the pricing of their MY18 Spec 2 and Spec 3 RTR packages. The Spec 2 kit rolls in at a rounded $20,000 for solely the kit, while a full car will cost $99,000. Spec 3 on the other hand is $39,000, or $118,990 for a full car all up. 

The Spec 2 packs 348kW via a Ford Performance 'Power Package', plus RTR's full visual kit [pictured above] and suspension upgrades. The Spec 3 goes full ballistic, with the same output as the Stage Three, plus the Spec 2's visual and damping changes. 

While we're yet to drive the current RTR, Driven had a fang in the previous generation RTR Spec 2 a few months ago. And ride quality despite the signature 20-inch wheels was among the highlights.

Now, the obvious issue with dumping modifications on a car is generally the lack of protection if things go wrong. However, each of theses kits come with a three-year, 100,000km full drive-line warranty backed by Ford Performance. 

Not bad for peace of mind while you're scaring the crap out of yourself and your passengers with the right foot ...
