Ford Racing Invitational Fox Mustang 500 Project Car
|
Prior to heading over to Milan for the NMRA race, we visited Paul's High Performance to check in on Editor Steve's Fox 500 project car. We shot some video of Steve's car, did some bench racing, witnessed Shawn Johnson's Pure Street car on the dyno, and had a good lunch. However, the highlight of our visit was being able to take Paul's GT500 out for a spin. This is the car Paul took on 2008's Hot Rod Drag Week. The car had an automatic for that event, but a stick was once again behind the big 5.4. Our last instructions from PHP tech Mike Sears, who was scheduled to race the car in True Street was, "Don't break it!" Well, we didn't break it. As a matter of fact, we treated the car a lot nicer on the street than Mike did at the track as he was the 11-second winner by averaging an 11.018. In a word, the car was simply awesome. Couple a TVS supercharger with 4.56 gears, and what you have is no communication failure between your right foot and whiplash. View Related Article
