Would be very interested to see the specs. I think the stang has more power (on the straight pulls like a train) and driver is badass!

Damn, I want to see tons moe of these heated/aggressive laps. That Mustang was obviously lighter then that Porsche. There were many many close calls with drivers getting too close to each other. I'm surprised that the Porsche & the Stang didn't exchange fender paint with each other... !

This clip ended at such a good moment...

Man, that Mustang was a rocket! I downloaded and saved this one. Great video!

 

[nighthawk756]

Yep, that was awesome! You could definately tell the Porsches were able to outbrake him.

Better brakes and some tweaking on the suspension and the Mustang would walk 'em. :rockon:

 

[beastmar]

Haha the end was funny.

I wonder just how much more power the Ford has to be able to pull on them like that.

I wonder just how much more power the Ford has to be able to pull on them like that.

Depending on how much it weighs, I'd guess 150-200. It could be a 2400# car vs 3000#

It's one thing to pull on a car in a conventional roll race when you are both hitting it at the same time, but to pull (more like blow past) on a car with clearly superior corner exit speeds is crazy.

damn that thing is sick!

 

[StreetDemon89]

wow that mustang was a rocket.

 

[Zeke0123]

Its funny hearing that old school V8 Roar at the end after hearing the Porsche the whole race :burnout:

 

[Robman420]

Aw great Vid, I wish there was an extra 20sec at the end.

 

[Monster Mach]

Only real time the porche caught up was when there was traffic... the mustang moved out... it had to be a autobot

 

[bull3441]

good find.

Could be a Griggs, Paul's Automotive Racing or Agent47 Mustang conversion, I know Griggs and PAE have done several early Mustangs that can hang with the best of them. PAE fielded a 65' Mustang coupe that won the NASA AIX Championship in 2008 and Griggs just finished a full GR-350 suspension install on a '67 with a built LS7.

bad fn ass

 

[Iceman II]

Son of a biscuit! That mustang can haul the mail. I'm impressed with how it can pull in the straights.

 

[thirtytwovalve]

That was awesome. Look at those porches gettin greedy

I had no idea steve mcqueen was such a badass! (slight hijack)

Military service
In 1947, McQueen joined the United States Marine Corps and was quickly promoted to Private First Class and assigned to an armored unit.[6] Initially, he reverted to his prior rebelliousness, and as a result was demoted to private seven times. He went UA (unauthorized absence) by failing to return after a weekend pass had expired. He instead stayed away with a girlfriend for two weeks, until the shore patrol caught him. He resisted arrest and as a result spent 41 days in the brig.[6]
After this, McQueen resolved to focus his energies on self-improvement and embraced the Marines' discipline. He saved the lives of five other Marines during an Arctic exercise, pulling them from a tank before it broke through ice into the sea.[6] He was also assigned to an honor guard responsible for guarding then-U.S. President Harry Truman's yacht.[6] McQueen served until 1950 when he was honorably discharged.
