Nice !
Even tho those new hot rods are mega expensive, it sure is fun watching the big 3 build drag machines.

It probably won't take Ford long to turn it into a real car instead of a "concept" car

Meanwhile back at the ranch - Dodge is showing a NA 2013 Viper - no blowers or anything performance oriented for the V8 drag paks

(heavy sigh!!!)

Cool. It looks like it might make G/SA, but more than likley it will run H/SA.

If, and its a big if, the cars are not rated correctly the AHFS will quickly rectumfy the situation, just as it has in the past.

That will be good for our local economy in our state filling those new ordrers for our ''Famous'' jelly!

.......and so it goes

Probably rated at 275hp.

And that's just the concept! The real one will probably have

Good thing I hadn't started building the engine yet for mine. That's on the schedule to be started in December. A pair of Hair dryers has been on my list of "want to build one" someday. I've been NA, Nitrous, centrifugal supercharged, positive displacement supercharged now its time for some Snails. This should go great with Fords Go Further EcoBoost campaign and running the EcoBoost in nearly all of its models.

Hope they can be bought with a SFI 25.5 cage as I "think" they just might need them or at least offer them without a cage at all!

Should be nasty fast! Just keeps getting better and better.

Are the "other" guys still having detonation problems on their blower cars?

Andys dad 10-30-2012 09:43 PM

Re: Ford debuts new COPO killa'...
 
Good news - Chrysler LLC announces a really high performance jeep

Also - now you can get a performance "calibration" for a couple of the street cars

groan......

Anybody follow any of the small tire twin turbo outlaw stuff? Are you really worried about getting beat to the finish line 1/4 mile by a type of car that has a hard enough time staying off the wall going 1/8th mile - I'd worry more about getting run over......

Tim im sure at 60% throttle they will get down just fine. Oh and they will still run 1.18 under. Lol

I want two and have told Jesse to put me on the list , as far as the 275 guys go they are real hard core racers and get down the track very well . When these cars start running on NHRA tracks they will get down just fine . With the new advance they can stag just like any other race car now .

Re: Ford debuts new COPO killa'...
 
Love the fact that FORD is still involve in our sport but lets be serious, these are serious Super Stock or Factory Stock maybe even Competition eliminator but not Stock eliminator. Maybe I can talk Jesse into going to Bonneville with one, I'm sure 200 mile an hour club would be a cinch. CR

Those wheels look like beadlocks? Are they allowed in Stock or SuperStock?

I recall Bret Calvert's Cobra Jet with bead-lock rear wheels.

If I was Ford, I'd say "we are working on a 2000hp jet car" just for ****s and giggles...the instant crying on here would be hilarious! LOL

Re: Ford debuts new COPO killa'...
 
even the import guys are impressed...picked the Cobra Jet concept engine "Star" of the SEMA show.
