All you need to do is say 1600hp mustang to get me interested. Throw a really cool paint job on top of that, and I’m in.
The motor is a collossal 632ci beast that sips on a 400 shot of nitrous as it tears down the strip. This video has him pulling a 4.8 run down the eighth mile. Check it out this big power Mustang in all its glory below.
It’s got twin PTE 6766′s providing positive pressure to the tune of 1222 rwhp. That alone, is pretty impressive, but not that exciting. There are loads of cars that make huge power off turbos. What is cool is the car’s power curve. High peak hp numbers are great and all, but these guys have managed to make the car pull hard the whole range. No spikes. [Read more...]
When Ford unleashed the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500 in 2013, it certainly drew some attention to the brand. With the car’s launch, Ford set the new baseline for muscle car horsepower, prompting tire dealers across the country to begin shopping for vacation homes and luxury yachts.
Very few shops are taking on extensive Fox Body Mustang projects these days, but Creations n’ Chrome, is used to bucking the trend. After building S197 Mustangs for the SEMA Show in 2010 and 2011 as well as creating the aviation-based Mustangs that were auctioned off at EAA AirVenture the past two years, the Valencia, CA-based company decided to build the ultimate Fox Body Mustang. Their “Top Notch” Mustang was first announced a little over a year ago, with a mostly-finished car debuting at the SEMA Show less than ten months later.
While Vaughn Gittin Jr. might have had a great time in Vegas, Pro-Am drifter Jim Guthrie didn’t have as much luck. After what looked like a pretty sweet slide, he locked up the brakes and went into the tire barrier. While this doesn’t look particularly awesome, according the description on YouTube–a truly unimpeachable source if there ever was one–the driver is fine and the “car should be salvageable.”
On a related note, it appears that comments are all related to drifting, past D1 and FD champs, and appropriate vehicles for the sport. At press time, it hadn’t descended into name calling and racism, which I believe is a first for YouTube comments. [Read more...]
When it comes to racing, you better go through that checklist of safety features because you’ll never know when it will come in handy and save you from injury or, worse yet, death. Some things can happen in the blink of an eye. As much of a hassle it may be, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
One of the safety equipment that can save you is the roll cage. Although, it’s kind of a pain to install, it’s definitely worth it. Just ask Steve Butscher. He designed his very own roll cage and it definitely came in handy during his crazy crash at Willow Springs in his Fox Body Mustang.
