Our friends at VP Racing Fuels have proudly announced its selection by the Ford Motor Company and Ford Racing as the official fuel supplier of the all-new 2016 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet, which was unveiled at the recent SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The new Cobra Jet, which is legal for NHRA Stock and Super Stock, as well as IHRA, NMRA, and NMCA competition, will come from the factory calibrated specifically for VP’s C16 blend of racing fuel.

The newest factory race car from Ford features an Aeromotive fuel system feeding its Whipple-supercharged 5.0L Coyote-based powerplant.

“VP Racing Fuels has consistently been the choice of our customers so it was an easy decision to meet customer demand by sourcing them on the program,” said Jesse Kershaw, Drag Racing Parts and Competition Manager for Ford Performance.  “Having a known consistent fuel stoichiometry is critical to our development and calibration process for the Cobra Jet and VP’s fuels deliver both the performance and consistency needed.

“We’re extremely proud to have C16 chosen to power the 2016 Cobra Jet,” said Chris Wall, Chief Marketing Officer for VP Racing Fuels.  “Just as Ford’s Cobra Jet Mustang has a longstanding legacy of power and performance, C16’s superior power and performance have made it the fuel of choice for thousands of drag racers at all levels since its introduction.  In fact, VP’s blends work well in all high performance Ford vehicles, from VP101™ street-legal unleaded for the supercharged Cobra Mustang and other street-legal models to a variety of off-road blends for racing applications.  We look forward to working with Ford Performance and encourage its customers to contact VP’s full-time, professional Tech Support staff with any fuel related questions.”
