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:

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:

And here’s one of the closest calls I’ve seen in my life:

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.

Remember folks, wheelstands are dangerous.

This one’s pretty crazy, too. About halfway into this video, you’ll see what I mean.

Finally, here’s the first-person view of another rollover.

You’ve got to love the sound of concrete peeling the paint from sheet metal.
