Still looks like a brick, but nice looking. Hopefully he'll have enough horsepower.

may look like a brick but when i was at englishtown this year, i talked to jason line for a few and he said that there has been a few 2010 mustangs in the wind tunnel already and nothing out there even comes close. they are killer in the tunnel. and im sure they will have the power, the ford heads are just knockoffs of the drce and hemi stuff anyway.

According to Darin Morgan's post on another site, the first head castings are being poured this week. Hopefully these parts will be in the proper hands very soon. '10 is gonna' be a very good year!

molds look great w/o the scoop; it's a shame they have to be mounted.

If only EFI was allowed in Pro Stock...

Harold Martin would discover 3ft. vertical runners fed by 300c.i. sealed scoops.


Just to start

It shouldn't be legal. You can tell what kind of car it is from the stands. Clearly a violation of NHRA rules.

That front end doesn't look very aerodynamic - but I could be wrong.

Enzo Ferrari was once quoted as saying "aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines".

Does anybody know if this car is using the same Roush body as the Ness/Burnevik built car described in the link below, or is this body coming from a different source?

Glidden gave up on the original Ford design because it wasn't a winning piece anymore. Patrick and Cunningham couldn't get it done either. The only way they'll make a Ford competitive is if it closely resembles a General Motors DRCE or Dodge HEMI. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Is someone forgetting Panella's motors? They were very competitive, I know Scott qualified 2nd at least once.

Was that statement made for David Nickens?

I know, cheap shot but I just had to say it.

BTW, from how it's looking the new Mustang is going to be one hot piece! Can't wait to see it when it hits the track.

Good point Tom, I'd forgotten about that effort. It seems rather odd that Panella's effort was so (largely) different than the others. Hmmm...

Same body. It's gonna be slick.

Actually, they're more aerodynamic than the GXP.
