Vicious Mustang Puts Down 1003whp!

[Centerforce]

We're sure that most of you are now familiar with Vicious, the 65 Mustang build that made waves at this years SEMA show. After taking Ford's Design of the Year award, it was time to prove that this Stang was not just all show. Under the care of Motec's head tuner, the car went in yesterday for its date with the dyno.

Due to the lack of compound-charged, coyote-powered classic mustangs, no one knew what type of power numbers to expect, other than it was going to be BIG. This assumption proved true as the car put down a whopping 1003whp/784wtq on a conservative E85 tune with the help of our DYAD twin-disk clutch!

There is no chance of this car just being a Dyno queen. Its owner, Chris, plans to do plenty of road racing and auto-x events with the car, including Optima Challenge next year. You can stay up to date with the build via these social channels:

I'm really surprised they're going to beat on that car, that is really cool.

Funny! The MULE -- put down 1021 HP with twin turbos an 8 stack.... and old fashioned heads etc. and a whopping 389 cubic inches (relatively old fashioned compared to all the new motors).


I'd have thought this might have produced MUCH more than 1000 hp.

Mule was 1021 at the flywheel.

AH --- MY BAD THEN -- but still --- you'd think with all that hardware it would have made more.

They did say that the tune was "conservative." Surely they do not want to grenade the thing during the first round of glory tests . . .

Yes, I just called you Shirley.
