Default Just seen a 4 cylinder stang go 9.86 @140mph

It was the coolest thing that I have ever seen this guy ran a 9.86 @140mph with a 4 banger with a big @ss turbo. This car was quiet as hell until he reved it up then you could here a screaming turbo.

It was like a 87-93 fox body with a 4 cylinder pinto engine and one 3 1/2 exhaust exiting the rear.

The most impressive thing about it was he drove it to the track.

It was cool to see a 4 cylinder spank everyone at the track.

One of the final races of the night the turbo 4 banger lined up against a 10 sec Grand National and it was an awesome race. A 10.20 to a 9.86 @140mph.

I usually dont like going to the track unless I am racing but that car made it worth the trip. It was a good turnout for the first test and tune of the year 120 cars. I had always heard about fast 4 cylinder stangs and now I have seen one.

Too cool

Wow that is awesome. Lot's of boost and no weight equals a good running combo.

I wonder if it was the same guy that wrote the book "Mustang Performance?" He was from somewhere in Texas and raced a 4 banger SVO with a big turbo on it.

I'm not sure. I just remember reading the book a couple years ago and thought maybe it was him. I guess unless his car weighed around 1000 pounds he couldn't get into the 9's.

Yeah, I saw that Focus in MM&FF too. More proof that with enough $$$ and know-how, anything can be made wickedly fast.

My brother told me that the guy in the 9 sec stang was at the street racing spot we refer to as "9 mile" and could not get a race.

I wonder why
