Muscle Car Mastery: A 1300HP Turbo 6 Mustang, 8.52-second at 164mph in Full Street Trim
The Ford Mustang Turbo 6 is a high-performance version of the popular sports car Ford Mustang. It has a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that produces more power and acceleration than the base model Mustang. The Mustang Turbo 6’s specific specifications and details will vary depending on the year and trim level of the vehicle.
When it comes to high-speed performance, it is unusual to see a 1960s Ford Mustang compete in single-digit drag races. While the Mustang’s platform has the potential for speed, many enthusiasts are likely to be put off by the cost of obtaining and maintaining the necessary parts.
In this case, we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a 1960s Ford Mustang compete in drag racing and achieve an impressive 8.52-second run. Even more impressive is the fact that this powerful machine is equipped with a six-cylinder engine and a Garrett GTX45R turbocharger.
“John’s insanely fast Ford Mustang street car returns to the track and sets yet another personal best time. The engine is a Tunnel Vision 4L Aussie Ford 6-cylinder SOHC engine that is boosted by a Garrett turbocharger, Haltech E85 fuel system, Preson Powerglide, and a leaf sprung rear end. After the event, the car was driven home on radial tyres.”
In the video below, you can see the powerful vehicle in action, complete with its full street configuration and Powerglide automatic transmission. The vintage vehicle certainly knows how to make an impression.
