It looks like traction issues to me, which is to be expected at full throttle on an 875 horsepower engine. Great acceleration, though. It is funny how on the second video as you are slowing down it looks like it is crawling, but a glance at the speedometer shows is still reading in the 90s...
It is what it is. A quarter mile recorded under certain conditions at a certain time.
Every one of these videos brings out complaints about how they launched, what mode they used, and so on.
And as I pointed out, none of them are on a drag strip.
They are not doing this on a prepared surface. If you watch this video, the old Challenger just spins while the other cars leave it behind. It is charging up hard toward the end but is not able to catch up before the finish line.
This is not at a drag strip with a sticky launch pad that...
Ford has come a long way. Decades ago, it took nitromethane fuel, a supercharger, and Phase 4 heads just to get a ford V-8 to 600 whp.
Goose: You can shut the gate on this one, Maxie... it's the duck's guts!
Barry, MFP Garage Mechanic: [excitedly] She sucks nitro... with Phase 4 heads! 600...
I dinged my wife's door when we were dating, and I did not know her all that well yet. I feel a sense of shame even now, remembering it so many years later. I brought it up the other day, and she does not even remember it. 🤣 She said she already knew she wanted to marry me that early, so . . .
"I wanted to abuse the drive train . . . there have been some people on the internet saying, rightfully so, until I see it going fast it does not exist"
It does not look all that difficult for a large manufacturer or a good fabrication and mechanic fort rod shop with good fabrication and mechanic skills.
And it runs 10s in the quarter mile.
I know it is how centrifugal superchargers work, but I cannot get over how the torque and horsepower start out so low and just keep climbing. The torque peak is above the factory redline rpm.
Well, so I asked him.
He posted "E30R."
Google tells me it is a Sunoco product.
He said he did not want to tune it for E85 due to the stock fuel rails being used.
and in the comments he wrote about the fuel system:
it’s stock fuel rails, with a Lawn Racing rail mod kit (bypass line). And used Fore hat, with some Hell cat pumps I bought off Amazon. Then I just made the lines myself with push lock stuff. #8 feed and #6 retune.
Nothing fancy but it gets...
I don't think he is a member here, but I saw this on FB on the 2024 S650 Mustang Gt / Dark Horse page.
Erik Andre Radzins, and the rest is a quote by him:
MICRO RECORD UPDATE: Your thoughts?
Back story, this Dark Horse is bone stock other than the ProCharger P-1X supercharger kit and a used...
