Boy I have to buy a BETA MAX player to view my THE VERY BEST !!

" An inside and close up look as Doug and Bobby (Fehan) turn a showroom fresh Mustang into a weekend warrior, while at the same time engineers at Ford Aerospace and Roush develop and build the prototype GTP/Probe.....Ford's race car of the future. You'll follow both as they travel different paths in the pursuit of a common goal.....To be.....THE VERY BEST 30 Min 1985

P.S. Zackspeed motors were run in many configurations 2.1/1.9/1.7 HP was 640 for the 1.9 and 720 wasn't unheard of. Once electronics got better the same motors were putting out over 900HP for the British Drag Program you could buy motors for. 40K with support and 3 rebuilds or and you were on your own! http://www.rothfam.com/svo/idea.htm Top left link.

Mark, you are bringing back some old skool memories with that link...:p

I didn't seem to notice if this link got posted here, but here is an awesome video of the Zakspeed Capri competing in a histsorics race back in 2012. I am sure it has some newer technology upgrades and sounds freaking awesome...put on your headphones for it, you will feel like you are sitting in the cockpit. I would love to know what kind of boost he ends up running as he chases down the other cars. http://youtu.be/ScNCjLFDHyM
