Lol, if he's into RTs like that, then it sounds like bracket is his thing.

Awesome video. Seemed like the flex was holding most of those cars off on the big end. The Camaro driver was terrible, he was probably running high 14's.

Waiting for them to start putting that boosted V6 into a stang or some other lighter RWD vehicle.

i heard the stang will get an ecoboost 4cyl rated around 310hp. I did just drive a new ST at work the other day tho, not a bad car at all, handles amazing and has quite a bit of pep. saw a few places getting bottom 14's so with a few mods it could possibly be a 12 second car, not bad for a focus lol.

As quick as it is ugly

... Yeah, coming from a Charger owner rofl

I test drove a 2010 365hp twin turbo Taurus SHO a few years back, it was pretty quick on the highway but not as neck snapping in the low end as my 5.7, but it felt very smooth and powerful for what it was. The steering shift levers sucked and the shift points were horrible though. I seen one at the track recently last summer; 14.6 all day!!

That is a friend of mine and he regularly surprises people with the "Red Brick of Vengeance". They never expect it and he was going against the SS Camaro. He recently had a chance to run a ZL-1 and held him off to 1/8 mark, and the guy just barely pulled it off to get him on the 1/4 traps.

We were at MIR Friday for a private track rental and he was beating the GTO's that shared the rental with us. He ran a 12.8 there.

And he has picked up at least 3 bracket trophy's this year.
