Under the Hood: Low-Buck Time Trials Domination in a Ford Probe!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Built for a penny-pinching time trial series based at NCM Motorsports Park, the Ford Probe of Cody Willet and Stephen Lee has progressed over the years into a fast, but still frugal, competition platform. Their Probe regularly outruns far more expensive and exotic machinery (which, when you’re talking about a Ford Probe is almost everything, but still…). Take an inside look at this quick machine that surprises its trackmates by filling their mirrors more often than they expect.

Remember Probes from .you high school days.....damn...getting old. Love builds like this 👍
The one dislike is someone who got beat by it, likely
I love the seeing anything that has to do with probes. They have been lost though out the years. They where always underestimated/underdogs. There awesome very fun cars. I just bought one last year that I've been slowly restoring and rebuilding.

Bought one as my first car in 2018. This year (2020) I bought another one and If money allows then I'll get another one next year, perhaps a 2.2 Turbo instead od 2.5 V6 😁

Great looking probe these are really great cars, don’t know why everyone seems to talk down on them, they do deserve more credit

they are rather unreliable, even ppl who love them admit it is one neverending repair job
Hell yeah!! As a proud owner of a MINT 1993 Ford Probe GT with only 81,000 miles I can truly say they are great cars!! Extremely underrated/under appreciated!! They are excellent handling cars and they make very good power and they are extremely reliable and the design is beautiful!!

My 97 is a hoot, I'm restoring it, love the look and the handling of it. It's a comfortable touring car. You guys should give it a little more credit and not talk it down so much. The Probe has always been a highly competitive car in the right hands and with the mods . Keep it up, love to hear about the 2nd Gen Probe.
All I need to do is see the title to like this video. I miss my 2nd gen GT.
Nice to see the Probe getting some love. Builds like this inspire people to care more for cars like this.

I loved the 2nd gen Probe GT back in the day! It's still a gorgeous car today.
Absolutely amazing!! I have a 1993 AND a 1996 GT that are near perfect condition, no one loves Probes more than me, no one, I have ever piece of art, pictures, I have framed everything, memorabilia, everything you can think of. I am as I call it, a Ford Probe caregiver.
340,000 and still going on my 93PGT and 318,000 and counting on my 96SE
Scary to say the probe come a great cool must have motor now❤
my first and second cars worth probes, eventually i got something else but my best memories were driving that car. i miss it still. might just have probe fever coming back cause now its all over my youtube lol. might have to keep my eye out for a nice gem
Cold Lotion Racing kills it. Love the probe.
Right now i'm pissed at the algorithm for not showing this to me months ago. 94 GT, kl31 ZE, Maf swap, 2.5" exhaust.
So cool. The only thing wrong with this video is that it’s not long enough!
As someone who drove one of these in high school over a decade ago I would be really interested in doing a build like this. Car was a fun turd back in the day.
go fast don't die.. I need that sticker on my M3 track car. The probe still has an awesome shape after all these years.
Awesome! we race 1996 Probe GT in Lemons. It is a quick car!

I have a 93 GT with a KLZE. It’s a very fun to drive car. Glad to see this one on the track 👍
Just got a 93 gt... can't wait to do some fun stuff 🥴
This is awesome guys, it's sheds a bit of light on the now older vehicles I grew up admiring. There is so much to appreciate from the 90s to early 00s.
I had a 1995 GT probe in light 🔵. I loved it and sold it at 90k miles because it started to rattle plastics and it annoyed the crap out of me. I wish I would have kept it and figured it out.
Great package
Ya get cool points just for the wutang clan decals, has to add 20hp 😂
As long as they dont turn to many laps in a row. They are badass
I recently moved to Bowling Green. I have to start checking out the tack more often. I would love to see a Probe GT racing! I’ve owned 2 of them. A 1994 and a 1997. Awesome cars.
Can I get a WUUUUUUUU-TAAAANNNG!
ここまでレース仕様のプローブ初めて見た。 ありがとう。
Thats dope.
this was goals for my M5 95' GT :'( Now she is a circle track car in Kalamazoo
Love the sound of that engine, what exhaust set-up are you running?
I'm in love.
As a Mk3 Supra owner, I have a general frustration with the Probe, because for some reason the Probe is at least as known as the Supra of that era, so they get confused a lot. As a racer, I love that you guys are proving to the world that you don't need an expensive car to have a great time on track. Reliable is more important (and more fun) than fast but finicky. As a comedian, I love the Cold Lotion Racing Probe. Let that sink in a moment. Better yet, maybe don't. You guys are deviants haha.
Lucky Dog racing at least on the West Coast does endurance racing for cars of that class.
Wow, my boyfriend and I have 2 Probes and we absolutely love them!! Thank you for doing this with your probe. what was done to the engine exactly? It sounds absolutely amazing. what exhaust?
GREAT
Cool, I am curious if they still race it.
Great video and channel. You motivated me to get my Probe GT running again. I have 26 years of history with my Probe. Check it out. I have started to document in small weekly videos. Thank you. (I miss the sweet high revving engine and crisp handling)

Where did you get the front lip? Mine doesn't have any. But makes 180 hp and 260 nm :)
I'd like to get in touch with these guys, I made Ford Probe performance parts for about 13 years and we held huge national events for them in the late 90s early 2000s - I know I've got a bunch of stuff left over they may be interested in. I'm the original owner of a 1997 Probe GTS, heavily modified and turbo powered.

@Josh thank you. I was able to find a used one 90 minutes away, and currently in the process of replacing. Check out some of my videos. My latest one shows how the diff spider gears in my old trans came apart. But my original clutch of 190k miles is still like new. Wow. Thanks again. Keep racing the probe, they are such underground gems.
“American engine is slightly worse” Even though it’s internals are beefier than the JDM spec KL motor and is able to handle more power reliably on stock internals

Cold lotion lmao?
If anyone is looking to upgrade get tech tips, find people who have modded a Ford Probe. Check out Probetalk.com. The TEIN Supersport suspension is the best for 2nd get probe. Porterfield brakes makes Road racing and autocross brake pads for these cars.
