I think a lot of you miss the point. This wasn’t some random Porsche on his way to a road course this is a Porsche built for street/grudge/drag racing this was for $5000. ---

in the second vid it looks like the vette had a decent launch off the rubber that was put down but then just lost traction after the shift. Street tires vs proper slicks in a video will almost always go down this way on big power cars. Both cars are impressive, but the races are just predictable. ---

Anything from izzy perf is built to run. U buncha crybabies that a mustang kicked his ass in a 5k street race is funny They both put up money thinking they could win!! This wasn’t the first race for the mustang, he’s been out crushing cars for a while and the drive has always had badass cars. Looks like another… A day in the life of a mustang owner. Hahahaha ---

Street tires vs proper slicks in a video will almost always go down this way on big power cars. Both cars are impressive, but the races are just predictable. Not sure how you see it that way… If it was so predictable why would they put up 5k? This video was taken in a area that has street racing on a regular basis people know how fast the Mustang is maybe they wanted to give away 5k? ---

> [@dreid](#): > > I think I read that fox body only has a 331 in it. I assume with a lot of nitrous One of the vids I caught said carbed NA 331, I believe 495rwhp. Paired to a heavily prepped T5, a low curb weight, and one hell of a driver, this is all that car needs to hook n book it’s way (most likely) into the 9’s. ---

> [@joelster](#): > > Yeah, it says 331 cube, 495 rwhp, and a t-5… > > MUST BE TRUE!!! It’s more than possible, and it’s been done numerous times in the Mustang world. Here’s a close friend of mine hitting 515rwhp out of a 363"…and he’s just an everyday dude with a garage and this is his first go round on this combo. Add in some bigger money, drop some cubes, convert to a carb, there’s your 495rwhp. T-5’s can be converted to handle the big power, they just lose any sense of streetability.

I never said it wasn’t possible. I seriously doubt that a grudge car racing for $5k a pop is going to disclose any real details online. That car runs as fast as they need it to run for a given race. Wouldn’t surprise me if they have a few different engines to play with depending on who they are up against. ---
