In this riveting episode by MotorTrend Channel, the team at Fully Torqued Industries dives headfirst into the world of muscle cars, led by the passionate CEO Steve Posman. Collaborating with John McAn from Hot Rod Magazine, they embark on a thrilling project involving the transformation of a 1967 Fastback into a drag car powerhouse. What they uncover under the hood is nothing short of spectacular - a coyote 5-liter crate motor that promises sheer power and adrenaline-inducing performance.
As they plan to showcase the revamped Mustang at various high-octane events, including Roadkill Nights and the prestigious SEMA show, the team faces unexpected challenges with the car's electronics. However, with quick thinking and a jump start, they manage to bring the beast roaring back to life. Delving beneath the chassis, they discover a treasure trove of performance-enhancing components, from a chassis stabilizer to disc brakes, all meticulously designed for speed and agility on the road.
With an eye for detail and a thirst for speed, Steve contemplates modifying the exhaust system to further enhance the car's performance, ensuring that every aspect is finely tuned for maximum impact. As they gear up for the next phase of the project, which involves ordering parts from Amazon and reconstructing the Mustang into a street-legal drag car, the team's passion and expertise shine through, promising an exhilarating journey ahead. Stay tuned as MotorTrend Channel takes you on a thrilling ride through the world of muscle cars and high-performance engineering like never before.
