I thought I’d post these few up before I passed out for the night.
Here’s Dan Millen’s high 6-second outlaw Mustang making a Burger King run on an icy day:

Here’s a 7 second car that can be “driven” on the street:

Ford GT Runs from Police

When you’re flagged driving a little over the speed limit in a 200 MPH supercar, it seems the best thing to do is downshift.

This looks like they’re on some kind of Cannonball run, but I couldn’t find more for the specific clip. Something about 2-way radios and multiple scanners reminds me of the Teckademics Gumball 3000 videos like this classic clip:

Forgotten Fords: Mustang Super Stallion & GT90

Remember these cars? I remember hearing so much about the Super Stallion years ago. It had carbon fiber body parts, 8-piston calipers, and it actually handled very well considering its chassis. Perhaps the coolest thing about it was that its supercharged 4-cam 5.4 V8 that ran on ethanol and put out almost 600 horsepower — all in 1998.

There’s more info about this mythical Mustang here.

The other Ford I remember hearing about but never saw in action (except video games) was the GT90, a concept car that never made it into mainstream America. Apparently the car handled like crap, but it was still a very interesting one, with a V12 making around 700 HP:

There are more pictures and info of this interesting forgotten Ford here.
