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.

    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.

    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.
