Stay tuned folks....our local forum/gang of friends Stangbangerz.com put together a nasty turbo Mustang coupe and headed to Kansas City today and laid the smack down on the competition. We don't know all the details just yet but something about beating out a 502ci Camaro on spray.

More details to come probably tomorrow as the news unfolds :nice:
 
Yeah guys we're talking about the real deal, they drove up with an extra trailer and drove back with a big block Camaro! Word is we on 5 out of 7 races but got one win taken away because we ran faster than the dial in but that's still 4 out of 7 so it was pretty much a beat down. They did say the Camaro was nasty and their crew had their $hit together, it's just that the coupe was either gonna win or break! We're still waiting on full details and pics/video but i'll post it as i get permission to....i don't know how that works since this will be aired on TV.

you hear the times it ran? the stangbangerz put together a great car.....
 
I heard they were on a 10.xx dial but that it's an easy 9 second car. It's F'in nasty i can tell you that. It would make an evil street car....someone's going to get a damn nice car when it's auctioned off.

from what i heard....the first run out of the box was a 9.80 trapping easy in the 142mph range......they set that engine up to run..boy did it...what would of made it better was if i could have gone :(
 
Was that the team Michael Bell was on? He mentioned he was headed out for a pinks episode with an 88mm turbocharged pony that they'd just put together. It sounded like they had done their homework.

Here ya go....vid isn't the best (seems the camera person got a bit too excited and started jumping up and down...) but it's pretty sweet to watch.

BTW, some info on the engine:
393 Powered by Dayton Performance
Trick Flow R CnCyed Heads
Trick Flow R intake
.700 Lift Cammotion Cam and Solid lifters
8" PTC Converter
82mm Turbo
11lbs of Boost

Made 630hp (don't recall torque numbers)
Ran a 9.87 straight off the trailer, running out of gear at 1000ft and shut down. They switched to 3.27 gears and 14psi....speculations are that at 20psi it should go 9.20-30s.

By the way this isn't a for sale thread but this car as well as the Camaro they won will both be auctioned off. If anyone's interested PM me for details.
 
Congrats to the stangbangerz crew. I know a lot of people donated parts and a lot put in time and effort to make that happen. I especially want to congratulate Michael Bell for putting together a great engine.

Yeah man there was a hell of a crew on this project. The Dayton 5.0 guys really stepped it up on the engine. It's pretty bitter sweet because our founding member Vinny who passed away this Feb. was really wanting to make something like this happen and unfortunately it just didn't have soon enough.
