***** They're heavy as shit, that's why. Keep in mind the "15% Rule" for tuning, which basically means on average, a vehicle loses around 15% power through drivetrain deficiency. So naturally, it's going to vary between mods and FWD, RWD, and AWD, but 15% is common ground. Now, if that's the case, Livernois Tuning (they have a video on YT) got 642whp and 573tq on a bone stock Challenger Hellcat, that's a baseline run, which means no tweaking, no mods or bolt-ons, nothing. So a 15% of 707hp is actually 601whp, which means the Hellcat is either making more power than advertised, or it's simply losing less through drivetrain loss. Problem is, Dodge has a tendency to make their cars heavy as all hell, and since it's got such a lower tq number compared to its HP, it's going to dog off the line, but on a roll, much more adequate to its figures. All I'm saying is, get that boat to Mustang weight, and it'll be a monster, even with the lower tq number.
that is freaking awesome. put that thing on a 400 pound diet and possible high 8 second pass without any other power mods. Congratulations guys. I'm motivated to do something to mine now.
Well done build boys nicely done. I'm a car lover it doesn't matter if its a import or American I love all cars I enjoy the blood sweat and tears people put to build monsters .
Took a lot of hard work, planning, and good driving to hit that goal. Very inspirational stuff (and I'm only 1/4 a Mustang guy). Congrats to Lethal and everyone involved in this project! 147 traps with a belt-driven blower is no small feat.
unbelievable !! the vid the car the music the way the Shelby pipes explode at gear change is like a Winchester Rifle please please, I kindly request you to shoot more videos of this beast
That car is fast, there's not to many that could run with it. If you take this car the way its set up, you could go win a lot of money off of these turbo guys in there four cylinders. Great video
Depends on your meaning of big power. Dad owns a machine shop business and ordered all the parts for my uncles engine. He has $8000 (which really is not that much when talking race cars) in his engine and it makes approx. 800hp at the flywheel. Running 5.90 in the 1/8
Nothing like a friendly nut tap to celebrate! hahaha I've watched this video well over a dozen times, and it ALWAYS amazes me to watch this little snake run like a bat out of hell! Truly amazing work. American Mofoing-Muscle for the WIN!
Wow, that thing sounds like its got super aggressive cam when he's idling before the first launch, freakin' sexy. I'm curious to know what gears it's running. Congrats on building a BEAST fellas.
That's one of the most violent runs I've ever seen in a street car. That cammed modular 5.8 sounds wicked.
dayuuum that's so quick, and love the backfire sound
Launch sounded like a gun shot.
that Launch was SPOT ON!
Ak 47
Did anyone check the pavement for wrinkles after the first pass?
Sounds like a gun shot when he shifts:). Love that noise.
This mustang and pretty much any kenne bell sounds unbelievable
A pure road machine. Henry Ford and Carroll Shelby would be proud!
Every time he shifts a gear, a gang of mph's gets killed...
Screw dodge mustang is where it's at!

Love the combined sound of the supercharger with the backfires!
You've done it again Lethal. You guys build the best Mustangs i've ever seen. Props.
that is freaking awesome. put that thing on a 400 pound diet and possible high 8 second pass without any other power mods. Congratulations guys. I'm motivated to do something to mine now.
That car is sick! Been following this build for a while now.......WINNING
that sound!!! those backfires!! just awesome!
The inside the car sound was amazing i think i watched that part at least 100 times sounds like LOVE
That is the best launching I have ever seen with these new mustangs.
Well done build boys nicely done. I'm a car lover it doesn't matter if its a import or American I love all cars I enjoy the blood sweat and tears people put to build monsters .
The In-car cam kinda gives you an idea of what a handful that monster is, well done!
the backfire sounds like the sonic boom , so magnificent !!
Every shift was like a gun shot. Well done. Beast of a car
I've been watching this vid from 2:08 till the end on a loop... Luv it..
Those shifts were AWESOME !!
Trc has the best videos around! Thanks for this.
This thing has to be a blast to drive with a 6 speed. Nice work keeping the manual in it for a 9 second pass!
that car and the take off sound is just beastly
Such a beast! Can't get any better than this
That thing hauls the mail. Congrats, sounds awesome too.
9.3 in any MT car is extremely respectable. Crazy fast man!
Man, I still can't believe how good those tires hook up, that's insane.. so violent.
Exploding through those gears @ 2:09 Congrats on your 9.3 run
Love the shifts !!
that start was nasty I bet when that light hit green that car was creating some MASSIVE G FORCE
That 4th gear shift at 2:29 literally gave me chills.
We should see 8 sec runs the next time out, great video as always guys

Hell of a job on the video guys! Thanks!
I remember when I was in high school and I watched this video at least twice a day, menacing
That launch was absolutely gripping!
It's bad to see these videos after eating! My heart is pounding like if I was the one driving it!!!
Damn Sob sounds like gun-shots each time it shifts! Nice work Lethal!
Jalopnik brought me here. Glad they did. Impressive.
when that thing shifts, you know that car means business when those gunshots coming from the exhaust tips!!
ohh man that shifting is incredible sounding!
Wow, great video!! That was the most amazing launch I've ever seen from a stock car.
Nice shifting! 9.39 with a stick is no small feat haha
how much $ in upgrades did this cost?
That stang be GROWLING like a beast!
The Gun Shot Sounds are infectious
Brings joy to a Ford lovers heart
God, that thing sounds dirty. Can't get enough of that.
unbelievable !! the vid the car the music the way the Shelby pipes explode at gear change is like a Winchester Rifle please please, I kindly request you to shoot more videos of this beast

That was a sweet sound when he was shifting inside
Every time he shifts a small big bang occurs making that loud bang nois
Not a fan of Mustangs too much but any Cobra that's tuned right will get me goin.. Sweet run & perfect tune! :)
That thing hits 60 in almost exactly 2 seconds...Sweet Christ that is quick
baddass bro that the first mustang tat i would ever want good shitt man
Thank you for this video, this car is just amazing Only in America !!!
Good tune, great driver, good out of the hole.
Whole new definition to the term "bang shifting".
That is a majestic being we are bearing witness to.
Yeah! Fckn awesome. Just wish Lethal was out here in California.
damn... and that thing really hooks up and go's. no skating around... that's what I call point and GO!
omg the view from mid track sounds so crazy! haha loud ass tires gripping, whining of the SC, and loud ass back fires haha
INSANEEEE!!!! I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR!!!
So much win!!! Damn that sounds sick.
Wow, that's a new favorite vid, great job! I liked and subscribed!!
That's insane! Now that's horsepower, I wonder if he clutch is being used or it's power shifting all the way
Nothing like a friendly nut tap to celebrate! hahaha
I've watched this video well over a dozen times, and it ALWAYS amazes me to watch this little snake run like a bat out of hell!
Truly amazing work. American Mofoing-Muscle for the WIN!
