Rewind: 1998 Super Stallion

The Super Stallion popped into my head this morning and thought I'd show the old Concept some love . . .

This is no Sunday driver. with 590 horses straining at the tether, it's all you can do just to keep this beast pointed more or less straight during any acceleration attempt. At idle, it shakes the ground like a Boss 429 Mustang with a full-race cam, cackling with explosive exhaust pulses and setting off every car alarm in the county. The way to a fast time is to launch this pony at no more than 1600 rpm, gently feeding in the throttle as the big 265/40ZR18 Goodyears churn at the edge of traction. Full throttle is impossible until you're well into third gear, but it's still one helluva handful to drive. With a bit of practice, you'll whittle your 0-60-mph times down to 4.2 seconds and annihilate the quarter mile in 12.7 seconds at 112.8 mph, spinning the tires virtually all the way.
MT recorded 12.1 @117mph in the video below

Old Motor Trend TV video as well . .


Wonder what ol' John Coletti could do with the 2015 Mustangs?

I remember watching that on TV one Saturday or Sunday morning when I was a freshman in HS - it's amazing how much faster everything is now, how much closer out of the box production vehicles are to that beast...
