At Virginia International Raceway's Hyperfest, Larry Chen delves into the world of high-octane madness with a remarkable Fox body Mustang from R Tech. This beast, nurtured by project manager Blain, embodies years of meticulous craftsmanship, with the final leg of the journey under his expert guidance. Collaborating with Haltech for precision wiring, the team poured their blood, sweat, and tears into preparing the Mustang for its inaugural outing at the event. Designed for the adrenaline-pumping realms of time attack, road courses, and autocross, this Mustang is no ordinary stallion.
Unveiling a symphony of power under the hood, the Ri8 Roi 45 engine roars to life with a circle track injection system, churning out a jaw-dropping 800 horsepower and pushing the limits to 8,000 RPM. Blain peels back the layers of this automotive masterpiece, shedding light on its lightweight construction, bespoke transmission setup, and cutting-edge engine management system. Inside the cockpit, a full roll cage, Sparco racing seats, and precision-crafted Willwood brakes underscore the Mustang's track-focused DNA.
With a keen eye for detail, R Tech's modifications extend beyond the mechanical realm, encompassing fiberglass body panels, a dry sump configuration, and a strategic weight-saving approach. The Fox body's transformation into a road racing marvel is a testament to R Tech's unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining performance standards. As Larry Chen navigates the intricacies of this track-ready Mustang, it becomes evident that this machine is not just a car; it's a symphony of speed, precision, and unbridled passion that sets the asphalt ablaze at Hyperfest.
