Well, there's nothing like a small car with a big motor. 707 hp Hellcat? Wow! Even if it had drag slicks on it, it'd probably be in the jersey barrier. For some reason, every new high horsepower car I see a video of, Mustang, Challenger, Camaro or Vette, just can't seem to keep it straight on hard acceleration. It's all about horsepower to weight ratio, and traction. 1000 hp doesn't mean shit, if you can't get it to the ground.

Chris Daigle I'm Bob Glidden's (self proclaimed) #1 fan. When did Bob Glidden run a Maverick? He ran Pintos, a '70 Mustang, Mustang IIs, Fairmonts, an EXP, T-Birds, Probes, (and yes a Plymouth Arrow for 1 season and a Chevy Monza at 1 race but didn't qualify) but I've never seen a picture or heard of him running a Maverick. Hubert Platt, Dyno Don (Ford's first NHRA Pro Stock win was Dyno Don's 427 S.O.H.C. Maverick at the 1972 Summer Nationals), and Gapp & Roush (the 4-door "Tejana Taxi") ran Mavericks.

Correction: I remembered wrong, "Dyno" Don's PS Maverick won the '71 Summer Nats not '72. For '72 he went with a 351C Pinto. Also: Wayne Gapp's 4 door Maverick was a Boss 429. He was Ford's head engineer in charge development of the Boss 429.

I owned a 71 302 Maverick with just a few mods it had L60 14s Posi-trac-ion (anyone remember those tires) and was raised all the way around, it had great weight transfer off the line.
