Has there ever been a 4 cyl. car run in the 11's in Stock ? - Page 4

Jim Caughlin · 04-22-2014, 01:27 PM

I've been looking at the various Ford turbo 4 cylinder combos for SS for quite some time and had petitioned NHRA to allow non V8 GT cars (GT is currently V8 only). With a swap over to a flat steel hood, my car could run these classes. As mentioned there are some killer combos out there if they were legal. I think NHRA sees the can of worms that could occur if these combos were made legal and doesn't want to mess with it.

Joe, regarding how fast a 4 cylinder can run in SS, if someone wants to compensate me for killing the SS/ES index, I'll show how far into 10's I can run.

Well, 37 days after I started this thread and posted the question, I get my answer.

Marty Buth officially made the first 11 second pass at an NHRA event with a 4 cylinder powered Stocker on May 24, 2014 in Bowling Green, KY

Congrats to Marty !

( If I had just left 5.8 seconds earlier, I would have been the first....darn. LOL )

Dan, this is for you:

Dan:
As far as the 10's go, I'll leave that to the 2015 Mustang 2.3L Ecoboost racers. (if it gets included into the Stock Car classification guide)

Congrats to the both of you. Al, you might want to look into a practice tree.
