Stage 2 Roush Stang Breaks Into ’10-Sec’ Club at Ohio NMRA Nationals
Roush & Whipple: Making Sub-10 Quarters Look Like Child’s Play
Best of all, is that this video suggests that this quite legit looking Mustang can run a pretty easy sub-10 quarter. Given a clean start, 9.5 seconds looks quite plausible, never mind a 150-mph terminal pass.
The other car is a little more drag-oriented. Webb’s 2011 California Special also came from the factory with the (then all-new) first-gen all-aluminum 5.0 Coyote. Now Whipple Gen 3 supercharged, Bo’s Facebook profile reveals he had a tough lead-up to the searing hot race weekend. Whipple even dropped off a Griptec pulley at his pit to try stop belt slip.
That seemed to work as the video goes on to show, as Bo, who moonlights as crew chief on Kelly Shotwell’s Limited Street championship Mustang, went on to demolish a few Fox Body machines as he ultimately delivers a 9.8-second pass later in the ‘6 mph hot’ weekend.
More 10-Second Runs
Turns out this lot raced in the Ford Performance Nationals’ QA1 True Street class after a scenic 30-mile cruise around Ohio farm country, before blasting down the dragstrip three times in a row. Randy Thomas out of Paducah, Kentucky powered his 2010 Mustang to the quickest average of the group at 8.69 seconds. Neal Adler’s 1988 Mustang was second at 9.47 seconds, while Webb took the 10-second class win.
All of which proves that bolting an air-to-water intercooled and heat exchanger-cooled positive displacement supercharger. At 11 psi of boost with high-flow fuel injectors to your Coyote V8 Mustang. It will find you over 700 rear wheel horsepower. And that, as the video suggests, should see you under ten second on a sweltering hot day.
Best of all, in the case of our anonymous grey car, is that you can even do it under warranty. Now isn’t that a thing!
