New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Have a fellow racer in Vegas for ET finals running his Mustang. 9.09 at 1/8 14.28 at 1/4. Thought that was very respective

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

14.28 is what the Turbo Regals ran in 1986-87 completely stock.

I think with a mild tune the EB 2.3 runs 13.80's

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Buick were v6. Mustang is a 4. In Tucson last week in testing for et finals car ran 13.99

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

You are correct....6 vs. 4.
I was just using that as a comparison of where we were to where we are now...32 years later.

My 2011 naturally aspirated 3.7 V-6 Mustang ran 14.50 @ 97 mph bone stock with 192K miles on it last year.
( 2.73 rear, no tune )
And mine is probably the slowest 3.7 v-6 in the fb group.

Automotive technology has made great strides in the last 20 years :)

THAT is a very debatable subject ! Detroit went out of business around 1971 ! All they make today are computer junk !

This combo is now in the guide, I owned a 2015 Turbo 4 Mustang. With just a tune and some octane booster it ran 12.17@113. Mine was a stick that weighed 3850 with me in it. The auto's with a tune and e85 fuel have run 11.80's with ease, these are street cars. My car with 93 octane would run 12.50's with street tires, it was a blast to drive, but sounded like crap.

The combo would shatter the I/SA, J/SA K/SA records. These turbo Mustangs are everywhere and can be bought cheap. I'm sure we will see one out there very soon.

My wife just got an Edge with a turbo 4 in it. I wonder how it would run? Maybe something for my assistant crew-chief grandson to bracket race?

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

My wife has a 2016 and I am with Ken, they sound like crap. The fuel mileage isn't any better than the 5.0 that will crush the EB and sounds good doing it.

I still think it's BS to have the submitted HP lower than the Ford advertized HP for classification. It makes it a killer without even being on the track yet.

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Mark Lelchook is building his to run K/SA, he hopes to race @ the west coast races that are coming up.

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Mark will never get it to work......lol Mark could get a 3 legged Camel to go 10 ohs

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Marty Buth holds the record for quickest 4 cylinder Stocker of all time @ 11.39

Probably by this time next year there will be a 10 second Stocker

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

We have a 2017 Escape with the 2.0 EcoBoost 4 cyl. rated @ 245 HP. That's the same HP that my '02 4.6 / 5 spd Mustang GT made. That car went 14.50s bone stock on street tires. I keep threatening my wife that I am going to run this Escape down the track. Haven't done it yet but it sure feels like a low 15 second ride....LOL

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Thanks Jeff, I had a blast. It ran a best of 14.23 on the breaks in the 2nd round. I broke out.The car is completely stock and a blast to drive.
As a added side note, i would have a hard time putting a aftermarket exhaust system on my car. They sound like a Honda, and that doesn't work for me on a Mustang. LOL

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Hey Rob, maybe some Friday night we should run your turbo 4 against my v6 heads up!

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Sounds like fun to me!!

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

I finally have Olds done. Need to go through and check alignment, neutral safety switch and all nuts and bolts. Maybe I can run the Wagon against your Mustang and keep up with you. IDK

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

My 79 is almost done. Lots of little setbacks. Should be done in time for the Hawk series next year.

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

I have seen Mark's car go low 11s, and after that i think he drove it, on a 1200 mile trip.

Re: New Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo
 

Don't forget Tucson is an altitude factored track, so at a true sea level track I think 13.80's are probable, and even 13.60's or 70's are plausible....
