Evolution Performance, Inc. - 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L 4V Launches On The Bumper!


This video was shot at the NMRA World Finals in Bowling Green, KY - October 2nd, 2010 during Round #3 of Qualifying.

We expected the car to launch hard, but not hard enough to go on the bumper and get all four wheels off the ground!

There was Minimal damage done to the car.. Driver's Side Front Strut Snapped, Drivers Side A-Arm is bent, the Factory Motor Mount Supports snapped in half, and the two front wheels are bent.

The Oil Pan and Headers got a little scraped up and the bottom Valance on the rear bumper has some road rash....

Prior to this incident, the car ran a 9.10 @ 151MPH!

I was there.

It was a messed up Mustang in the front suspension.

That's pretty damned cool. On a scale of 1-10 how high was the pucker factor on that one?
