An interview/documentary about the war that was fought between Ford and Ferrari during the 1960s. It was during this time that the GT40 MkIV won 24 hours of Le Mans and Ferrari fought back with the P3/4 among others.

The series is about 15-minutes long in two-parts. Click here to view the whole post.

Here’s a short documentary showing the build-up and road testing of a twin turbo Ford GT that aims to put out about 1000 horsepower to the wheels. The owner wanted a car he could drive and race on the street. The result is two Garret G35 ball bearing turbos replacing the stock supercharger. They use the Ford air-water intercooler, but have to fabricate plenty of custom parts to make it all work. It shows a road test with about 820 RWHP / 700+ RWTQ toward the end of the video:

You got a hemi in that thing?

Yes, that’s a hemi V8 powered Model A Ford.

This 1929 is a bit different:

It’s powered by a Cosworth rally 4-cylinder turbo motor and does 0-62 MPH in five seconds flat. There’s a very detailed picture album showing the restoration and build-up of this Model A here.

Wicked MPH, terrible ET. The reason? It’s a simple way not to get kicked off the track for being too fast: roll out to start the clock, count to 3, then hit the gas. I know I did this when I was running my friend’s mid-11 second 911 Turbo at Battle of the Imports. Too bad the jackasses DQ’d me for other reasons I won’t get into. *sigh*

Dan Millen’s outlaw Mustang puts down 2000 RWHP, pegging the dyno.

Here’s a shootout between the latest supercharged Roush and Saleen Mustangs:

Just for the heck of it, here’s a claimed 900 RWHP turbocharged Saleen idling and driving on a street:
