This Twin Turbo 2014 Mustang Runs 8.80s at 160mph on 20-inch Wheels – We Saw It With Our Own Eyes!


This Twin Turbo 2014 Mustang Runs 8.80s at 160mph on 20-inch Wheels – We Saw It With Our Own Eyes!

(Editor’s note: As I get ready to blast back down to Bradenton, Florida this week to call the action at the NMRA Spring Break Shootout,  I wanted to recognize one of the most incredible cars I have ever seen go down a strip. This thing is wild!) While Chad was on the scaffolding at the 2015 March Meet, I was in Florida announcing the NMRA Spring Break Nationals. This was the first NMRA event I had ever been to and I had a great time. It was wall to wall Fords as you’d imagine and there were so many Mustangs of different years, shapes, sizes, and power plants it was nearly impossible to keep up. For me there were a few cars that stuck out from the pack and none so much as the Mustang you’ll see in the video below which was built by the guys at Power By The Hour, a Florida tuning shop. Using a twin turbo kit from the people at Fluid Turbo Concepts, the car is an absolute killer which runs down in the eight second zone and well over 160mph. All of that is impressive enough but what’s really mind bending is that this all happens with the car on 20″ wheels! It was astounding to watch this thing work throughout the weekend. The guys ripped the tires off the back a couple times early on but once they got it figured out the car kept going to quicker and faster.

The car is 100% factory complete with full interior, a roll cage, and all the necessary stuff to go the elapsed times and speeds they are going. It is claimed to weigh somewhere around 4,100lbs (with driver) and we believe it. This is about the most sleeper 8-second car we have ever seen. It looks like a really nice street car that’s pretty quick, but 8s at 160 on 20″ wheels?! That’s crazy pills type stuff right there.

The dudes from the shop who built the car believe it is the first Mustang of its type into the 8s on 20″ wheels and frankly we have no evidence to dispute that claim. Flipping nuts!
