Default One fast Ford

This guy ran 6.65 @ 210 at the recent NHRA Winternationals at Pomona. It's a 4.6 turbo making about 1600 hp, weighs about 2500 lbs. He top qualified in comp (no mean feat). I'm not a fan of turbos but this is one of the best runs by a ford powered car ever and should not go unrecognised.

When you look at the 210MPH it puts in perspective how much quicker these things are over your BA.... at a tad over 100mph

On the drags on telly the other week the top fuellers were getting 0.7 60 footers....lol

He actually qualified 0.9 seconds under his class index. The next guy was 0.75 seconds under. That may not seem like much, but in NHRA Comp eliminator thats a street. He only lost the race because he fluffed a start.
