2400hp Ford Cortina: How to run 6s on 275 Drag Radials

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We first laid eyes on Joe Gauci’s amazing Ford Cortina around 10 years ago. Back then power came from a turbocharged Ford cross-flow six cylinder, good enough to propel the car to an 8.58 at 162mph and genuinely one of the quickest Modified Street cars in Australia period.
The Cortina was then completely rebuild with twin turbo V8 power where is debuted straight into the mid 7-second zone. Extremely consistent times improved to a 7.15 at 202mph.
Fast Forward to today and Joe and the ProFab team have made the switch to small tyre radial racing. The cubic inches have increased to a moderate 380 with larger Garrett twin 88mm turbos and a complete FuelTech FT500 fuel system.

    Thank you. An Aussie that didn't drop an ls in his Ford. Even if it's a Ford that I've never seen. Sorta looks like a Maverick though. Nice. Bring it to the States guys. I'll bet you'll be competitive here.
