Who cares that this is a turbo Mustang. The video is worth watching anyway.

It was shot at Medicine Hat Alberta at the end of August on their 1/4 strip. This is a 347 cid small block ford running on a 10.5" tire. The last run is the best.

After watching this, I would really love to put a turbo on my car!!

Watch them all!! Expletives from you after the videos are tolerated

EDIT: This is also on pump gas, the car is street legal and driven on the street. Apparently it also ran in Mission BC which has a track sitting at sea level and it ran 8.50's!

I'd be curious to know how well the stang would be as a racer. You can hear the turbo spooling up and he launches well after the light turns green. There's no way you could launch at the same boost pressure every time to make the car consistent.

No idea on the LS1 power but the Mustang is over 1200 (at the wheels)

This weekend at Vegas:
"derek przeginiak calgary 90 stang x-treme street #5 8.22 168 then crashed off a big wheelstand, then hit wall left side left lane "
http://www.speedzonemagazine.com/zon...treetzone.html

From another board:
"Derek ran 8.22 @ 169 on Drag Radials .... on his last qualifying pass he turned it up and pulled the wheels so high it came down and broke the lower rad hose connection and put coolant under the wheels sending him hard into the wall. Derek managed to walk away, but the car wasn't so fortunate

The crowd was going wild when JYB would go down the track wheels up without lifting ... videos to follow "

that car was in nov 04 hotrod. it made 730 hp and 710 tq. it was a show car thing, not really done to make power, more to look cool. any turbo guy flinches when he sees that ! too many turbos, too much weight, and a single t76 would have made 850hp.
