thanks everyone. it's my torino! unfortunately I didn't get to do any testing this year after the winter changes. went into first round of eliminations untested but it worked out.
Bad ass Torino I have the same one 1970 Ford Torino gt 351c 4v and it white two I had it since I was 6 years old pass down now I am 30 years old great to see a Torino kicking ass
@@DragRacingandCarStuff thanks for posting it, looks like its getting a lot of views!! It's a garage built fuel injected stroked big block ford with a c6 trans and a 3.50 geared 9in ford rear. I built everything on the car , engine, trans, headers, exhaust, rear, put the sequential fuel injection on and do all the tuning. I would love it if you would email me a copy of the video 2big2go@msn.com
I was just watching this video and cheering for the Ford, even though I am a Chevy Man by heart. Hard cheering for the Ford by Nature but I love to see any old school car on the road, and especially beating up new school cars like you said.
I just like older cars, Ford Chevy Mopar whatever, pre 1971. After 71 They ruined the designs completely, and horsepower went from 500 to 95. Now the performance of new cars are good but the bodies are too bloated and obese, That’s why hand built 1960s car resto mods are the best, $200K-$300k worth every cent. I wouldn’t even pay 10K for the new mustang camaro and chargers, too fat and bulky, cheap plastic interior, they drive like donuts and they weigh 4000lbs and you can’t see out the damn window. They can take their damn safety standards and shove em directly up their ass, I’ll only buy 60s classics! There is only 1 exception, 2020 Ford GT hyper car
@@coreyjenkins3056 same, I'm a Chevy manu by heart, but learned to cherr for ford more than dodge though because of all of the people thinking hellcats are the fastest things on the world.
@@cosmiccloud9382 I agree with you on that horsepower part 100%. I do love the way fords and chevys looks before and after 71, just not over 2000 that much. Just imagine if they wouldve kept the big ol engines pumping 400+hp in rest of them cars, now THAT wouldve been cool. Not sure if you're into the 80s caprice classic, but the 84 caprice weighs about 3,300 pounds and having that power would make that thing shine.
@@rodyravioli3999, I wish I had one. I did own a 72 Gran Torino in the late seventies with the 351 Windsor. Sadly I was too young and dumb, traded it for a 79 Thunderbird Heritage. I miss that car still. I have great memories with it. Thanks for sharing 👍
I keep saying, computers , electric fuel pumps and fuel injection just make cars a lot more complicated and expensive to fix....good example right there.
The guy driving the Torino came to race. The car launches flawlessly. Notice how he actually leaves on the green. The guy in the white Charger was plucking his eyebrows when the light turned green.
Ever consider maybe he’s fairly new at drag racing? Possibly a new build? Possibly getting the tune right ? Not everyone has tons of years or tons of races under their belt. The Torino is a legit beast but I’m sure he’s a seasoned driver.

@@mikebockey4125 Are you chitting me? That is fkn insane!! From looking at the car dont make sense to me and Ive been around awhile! DUde knows his car well!
Wow, I was rooting for that Big Torino. I had a 69 428SCJ, getting rear traction was really a challenge, it was up around 650 hp, but with so much torque. It's tough to get big rubber in the rear, mine had raised longer front fenders welded in... Looked better too. You see on the Torino how they are also smaller than the front. That beauty launches like a missile. So straight and true. Thanks, nice to see that. 👍
Omg seeing this vid brings back some memories I grew up dirt poor but but my grandpa won a torino in a poker game as a teen and gifted it to me on my 16th bday it was a 73 gt fastback had the 351 Cleveland royal blue matching interior I was young and dumb and sold it off but man I was the baddest kid on the block with that ride
That is one wicked Torino with an exceptional and consistent driver. Caddy, If you want to drag race you'll need to go back to the drawing board. Otherwise stick with being second fiddle to Lincoln. Charger and Challenger, limp back to your trailers. You're quick, but not quick enough. You got spanked by some awesome and classic 'old' iron.

That Torino launching is a thing of beauty. Wow!

Nice to see someone who can drive and set up a car!
@@grumman38 Agree its well setup, gonna be tough winning by getting him off the line
That torino is pulling the front wheels off the ground. No telling how much HP he is pushing but that is one fast old Ford.

@@franciscorosa6358 that it is. All of newer cars needed more time to start. The combination of all of them needs one second to react.

Totally agree, as the so called muscle cars of today ain’t got shit on old school muscle cars. 💯✌️
@@cdpwillprevail1 ac and gadgets thats about it. Oh and an extra 1000 lbs
Hoooo-weeeee!
That Torino was cutting some mean lights!!
He had a car length in every race just because of his RTs!
The last race was awesome.
Sure did!! Takes many runs to get that suspension working like he does
So much more than just a stout engine, something the younger crowd doesnt understand.
My first car was a 69 Torino GT so I LOVE to see this! Man that driver is a monster! The car is fabulous but the driver is equally amazing!
That's a badass Torino, and driver combination. Doesn't look like a 9 second car which makes it even better.

Not only did the torino kill it in launch/ Run times but it also killed it in aesthetics....Nothing like an old school!!!
