merci t pa ne tafiole

Dude not being rude but 600 hp -16% for rear rwhp from flywheel is more than 400 that's like 35% of hp. something is wrong, a c6 is a hp killer but 20% is max. What is rear gear? And I imagine roush would use aluminum heads, that should be hitting 10's I have a 466bbf and it's has dyno at rwhp 441 and I run 10.21 71 f100 all steel

[grenouille123]

@Brutalford Too true, I had issues to sort back then with intake and exhaust. That winter, rear wheel dyno was 475HP and 540 ft-lbs, somewhat better, unfortunately headers are too constricting 1 7/8, that plus car & I weighed in at 4,755 pounds going down the track,. But did run 11.49 @117 the next summer. Rear end is 3.89 with 28" slicks.

really nice ,,very casual grip on the wheel for a 12 second run.

Love these Fords! Starsky and Hutch was a great show.Glad to see this isn't a trailer queen. Thank you for sharing!

[acdcfandl32]

the one dislike is from the guy that lost

[svo65]

[ozcobblepot218]

Hey, what's the basic cost of one of these as new, from a Ford dealer car yard in LA or Calif? What'd be the extra charges to convert the steering to Right Hand Drive, and shipping or air freight costs to fly it to Australia? ...And, can you get it in Navy Blue with White Stripe also?

[mschnur]

@ozcobblepot218 About a million zillion dollars.

el coche de mis sueños jejeje

[123nova]

605 horse to the flywheel ?? should be around 500 horse to the wheels....

[pbmax]

Does this car help you get girls?

[AMac1978]

needs a bigger stall so you can launch in higher torgue

[MrAdmin28]

thats pathetic that you lose that much hp with the c6 ... It would beat my car. not by a lot maybee 1 or 2 seconds

[mjdaubney]

give it a couple of turbo's and it would fly!

[torkair72torino]

You should be running much faster then that with that much motor :(

[grenouille123]

IWeighed in at 4,755 pounds going down the track, plus plenty of losses though the C6 tranny. But did run 11.49 @117 last summer, which is as fast as I am tech-ed to go.

[cobraopts7]

@grenouille123 you need a stronger motor like a allison transmission or a power glide

[hijodepuuu]

sounds fing awesome, long live muscle cars!

[Quetzalcoytl]

lead sled indeed damn that thing moves for something its size.

[dirtygore]

[LasseChr14]

OMG Give me the Car!

[TunedAmg]

Did you go through the centre of Bristol today in some sort of ralley?

[sk8rnate322]

im watching Starsky and Hutch right now i have the complet first seson on dvd

[winbluescreenofdeath]

Don't even bother worrying about the fuel mileage. With the price of fuel now, cost you $20 to go to the liquor store!

[Saabatron]

Did the sign say 12.64...... on a stock engine (not any engine lol)..... thats pretty damn insane

[grizzlykillsall]

lol well its not a "10 second car" (jk it kicks a**) my dads first car was a 72 or 73 GT and im trying to get him to get me one but well that dream will probably never happen so until i can buy one myself ill just watch videos of them on youtube (sigh......)

[74duster86]

Im getting a 76 starsky and hutch torino for nothing 400m from my aunt her sons 'may he rest in peace' I can't wait to pop a 615hp 460 crate motor into it.

[JManGuitar5150]

Wouldn't your aunt's son be your cousin...?

[odiemodie1]

Duuude! That was sssweeet! Forget gas mileage! As long as that killer Torino whip and eat the buttocks off those foreign imports, American Iron rules! Dump drift racing! No dos to nitro gulping! Pure engine horsepower and mad-dashing the quarter mile is the real deal! (BTW, is this Torino bottled?) A real monster runs on cylinders only! Nowadays though, most runners are on the bottle, so some of us gotta even the odds! Love to see rail racing always!

[grenouille123]

Cylinders only, bottle would feel like cheating!

[mustang50dominates]

You are losing that much power through the drive train?!?! You should only be losing about 7 percent

[twinstu50]

@odiemodie1 Damn!.

This sight and sound is straight outa 'Dirty Harry' and 'Bullitt'.

This is the quality of sound and visual that just does not exist today,

Pity.

[odiemodie1]

@twinstu50, Agreed!

I love seeing the sight of a huge, cherry-vintage muscle car rumbling down the street amid in a sea of these foreign imports we see today... it looks like a predator monster shark ready to eat them! :D

[Rockst2r]

Nice man!

i love the starsky & hutch paint too !

[torinorich]
