Detroit Street Racing Video... Turbo 4V Notch

[99saleenspeedster]

The car is a 3,100 lb. Foxbody notchback with a 2003 Cobra longblock, our CNC heads and a set of custom cams, an 88mm turbo and a 4R70W. It's not uncommon to see him driving it everywhere in the summer... to the mall, to work, cruises, shows, etc and it's driven like he stole it all the time!

Specs:

2003 Cobra Longblock
Livernois Motorsports Custom Single 88mm Turbo Kit
Spearco 2-Core Intercooler (Interior Mounted)
Custom Fuel System
Built 4R70W
Tuned by Livernois Motorsports

I wish the quality was better on this vid... but you can still see the results. The car that he was racing is supposedly a low 9-second car. The turbo 4V notch gave him roughly 3 cars and still beat him.

The only photos I have of the engine bay are pretty old.. since then we've added a distributor and everything has been coated/polished.

The smoke was from a coolant hose coming off.... (there's normally a coolant tube under the manifold, but on this car it has a cap on the tube fitting and the cap blew off.)

It doesn't look or sounds as quick as it is.... and you'd never know it by the way he drives it everywhere. It runs consistent 8.50's @ 170 mph :uh oh:
