The Mustang is said to run mid 9's and trapping 145+ :rockon:


Just a little "Re-Match" video I put together yesterday. Shows a race between EJ and Mellon from a couple months ago.

[COBRA MAN OF UT]

Add a bit of VHT next time before the launch and the evo gets destroyed.

 

[ford5.0forlife]

Great Vids, as always.. I saw the fox w/ turbines, I was like omfg.. do people still use those things? (turbines that is )

 

[EZRIDN]

Nice

 

[Torched_03]

Had a blast...

 

[Zak Attack]

Need a little cooler air, and we would of been set.

EJ the Mustang owner personally put down a few gallons of VHT before I got there. My shoe was sticking to the clutch and gas pedal :rockon:

 

[Torched_03]

It was pretty stickey....just to much HP at the time.

 

[turbosaleen]

.

UM NO ..im going to call the numbers on the mustang total bullsh#$

mid nines and 145-148 mph is only around 600 - 650 rwhp for a auto mustang.

with 750 rwhp through a c-4 auto murillos white street car cracker runs 8.80s at 157 mph we tuned it on my dyno and thats what it makes.

950 rwhp through a auto is enough for 8.30s in a fox body at over 165 mph.

hell when i made 933 rwhp in my 95 at 3500 pounds i could run 8.80s leaving off idle and just letting the car eat on the big end.

So unless that evos a sub 9 second car i dont believe 900 + rwhp with a auto for the stang.

only way i see it hapeneing is if that mustang was out there running pump gas so was limited on boost.

dont get me wrong the evos obviously fast so is the mustang but 950 ?

no

this car makes 756 rwhp on the nitrous and only 712 on the turbo alone and look for yourself what it runs < these were off bottle runs so around 700-720 rwhp

[Mellon]

my EVO traps 127 on straight 93 octane...the Mustang is a good 20mph+ faster. He left two black stripes to the 1/8th mile.

Mike Murillo's Mustang GT "Cracker" 8 second turbo

The bottom line is, the Mustang couldn't hook. He was about 6 cars behind at the 1/8 and made up 6 cars on a 127mph trapping EVO. It makes the power. The numbers I gave are just what the Mustang owner will tell us. It probably traps well over 145.

Are these cars you are quoting FULL weight?

 

[TripleBlackVert]

Nice runs for all the cars.

 

[Doc GTO]

Nice clean runs on that road! Turbo stang had NO traction . . . It was moving on the big end though.

 

[COBRA MAN OF UT]

EJ the Mustang owner personally put down a few gallons of VHT before I got there. My shoe was sticking to the clutch and gas pedal :rockon:

Um I just watched the video again and there is no proper road prep at all on either of the low boost or high boost runs. A VHT line done right is bright ass black and the tires will not smoke like that 30ft out just not goin to happen sorry. Also for a 950rhwp car and trapping 145mph something is wrong there big time... I am not trying to discredit or anything I am just saying a RWD with that kinda power should never get taken out the whole by an AWD with proper road prep and tires.. check out cash days form 1320video.com those cars are all 8 second cars and dont smoke the tires like the mustang did...

EJ's turbo Mustang was on worn tires and the "track" was extremely slick. Also the Mustang has a powerglide FYI

 

[COBRA MAN OF UT]

The track wasn"t that a street? Bald tires ok that makes it look a bit more logical. A glide so the car is making close to 1150fwhp depending on the converter? No way something just isn"t right with the numbers.

did you see me say 3500 pounds ? with 933 rwhp my 95 at 3500 pounds ran a best of 8.23 at 169 mph it would run 8.80s leaving so slow its not funny.

and that car IF the evo runs 127 the mustang is traping as was said about 145 mph wich suprisingly enough is what my wifes convertible traps and it makes 756 rwhp with a five speed.

 

[Mellon]

VHT was down but no doubt the traction wasn't there. I spun so bad with 4 drag radials at 15psi each through first that I had to get completely out of the gas and get back in (you can hear it in the video, that wasn't a shift) There isn't much rubber out there at all yet.

I doubt EJ had the car at full tilt on the street until he was past the 1/8th mile. I was going 125+ at the end of the 1/4 and he came around me like I was standing still.

 

[turbosaleen]

lol

heres a lil vid of what 900 + rwhp realy does with a glide.

hes blowing smoke up your arses.

http://www.theclashofthetitans.com/images/videos/vids/MartinvsFloresT.jpg

these cars make aprox 975 rwhp

 

[Mellon]

who cares what it does on the track or dyno anyway, neither mean jack shit on the street.
