Was the Mustang fast or can the import guy just not drive? Either way I like it!

I would vote the latter based on that video.

I think that the AWD was maybe 400 hp which is still pretty good for a Suburu but way off the 1200hp maybe in his dream. Boostedf22c has one of the meanest Super Stock out there and I think that he's probably close to 1200hp if I'm not too off, he might enlighten us. Alex great looking Mustang but I have to say that the driver had an advantage with being a better driver and also knowing about deep staging, since his opponent was probably clueless on what just happened.lol Nice video. I would love to see Art Leong playing with all those new drivers driving their BMW and Lexus with his mighty steed. I can remember loving my Turbo GLH that I received for free when my neighbor moved many years ago, for a month I help to part young men from their hard earned money, one youngster bet me his Camaro(1983) but after beating him soundly I couldn't take it away from him but took $200 for him to buy his 305 165 hp Camaro back. Did I mention that we had a complete NOS system that finally blew the engine completly apart. Still have the car in the back of my Shop.lolClaude

Yes, we were pretty close to that number with our old setup. We made 1098hp on the dyno at 37psi and ran around 40 at the track. So that would put it around 1160hp hypothetically speaking.

I agree on your horsepower guess. I used to own a Subaru (although that was a Mitsubishi Evolution in the video ). I made 480whp in it and it went 10.9's. That was driving and shifting the piss out of it though. I remember driving that car to Joilet from Indy, running 10's for the first time, then driving home. Lots of fun.

Alex I wish someone had videos of my non turbo nerd car (246 hp) blowing away various Cobra Jets. LOL

We have a lot of the "rice rocket" "turbo nerd" racers or whatever you want to call them down here in Florida. My take on the situation after watching many, many of them is that #1. They have no idea how to cut a light, nor do they understand why it's important. #2. They hit the rev limiter for a second or two before shifting rather than shifting at assigned RPM points. This video supports my assumptions and is very typical of the average driver. Did you see that Mustang driver mow the tree down! Jim

I saw that mustang owner deep stage before the other car was even staged. I would of just sat there until he backed up.

No excuse for the driving from the "nerd" car though.
