    Insane to think that engine can survive making that much power.  Most stock block engines start to become totally unreliable in the 600-650HP range.  That moves the modular series up one notch in my book.  Placing it at notch 1...

    My son was at that event with his boss from a summer job. His boss ran a 68 mustang coupe 186 mph. Not sure what motor he has but it is twin turbo and 1000 bhp. Can't imagine being in that car at those speeds! Great video, enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

    Yep.
    Now it is just the normal Texas fast lane stuff...
    That you can buy at your local Ford dealer.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
