re: 4 banger that runs 8.76!

I think it's funny how this post has been up for a couple of hours and no responses or comments. If we were bashing a 4 banger everyone would have chimed in with their 2 cent's. This car is very quick ,I have been doing a little research on his car since I posted. This thing is Sick, all on 8 inch tires too

re: 4 banger that runs 8.76!

I've seen that car! Pretty neat. Without AWD I don't think he could pull that off.

There's a guy here in St. Louis named John Huber that has a 79(?), wheel standing, 4 cylinder Turbo Mustang that's been in the 8's before!!!
He's sort of a legend. I remember back in the '80's some guy going "That Mustang runs mid 14's"! And I was like so! All 5.0's do. And he was like, "No, it's a 4 banger"!
Since then, I've seen this car get faster and faster every year.
Do a search on YouTube for 'Huber mustang turbo 4' or similar.

I have on of these cars. Takes almost nothing to get them in the 12's. From a mid to low 15's from the factory. John Shepards car is an animal. Ive saw him at all the DSM shootouts ive been to....MEAN...this year the number 16 qualifier in the races was running a 10.12....WOW

Light cars man. Props on lacking the whole 'look, Im a race car" deal. Id always love to build my cutty or something look totally street but blow the doors or purpose built track cars.

Thats a good point, besides the huge front mount and JDM rims it looks pretty stock(sleeper).

The shute on the back gives it away now Surprisingly not that light...over 3000 lbs. I think my AWD is like 32xx.
