I do believe that this Mustang has slightly more than stock torque (make sure that your volume turned way up).

Holycrap! Not good for the exhaust tips but if I could do that I wouldn't mind replacing them.

Holy crap! I'm guessing that thing has got some serious damage to the underbody after coming back down so hard. Notice the sparks, smoke and the brake lights come on.

This is the correct way to launch for low earth orbit, for the 1/4 i'd suggest something more horizontal :P

I have a 9mb video of an XE Falcon pro stocker, powered with a 351 Cleveland producing over 700hp back in 1982.
The wheely isn't as high as either of those cars, however it is long and graceful - It also shows the car going through the traps at around 150mph revving to over 9000rpm. Is anyone able to host this for everyone to view here? Rick.

Here's the Pro-stock Shotgun XE Falcon of the early 80's.
700hp 351 Cleveland, cast iron block, cast iron heads, dual 1050 dominators. No turbo, no supercharger, no N20. Just pure NA power. It's best time (from memory) was 8.82 @ 150mph. It was said that the clutch was let loose at around 9000-10,000rpm. It's 9mb. http://www.equinoxaudio.com.au/shotgun/shotgun.mov Make sure your sound is on and listen to the engine scream in the top end. Rick.
