Evolution Performance aiming for first 7-second quarter mile S197 Ford Mustang





A seven-second quarter mile is damn fast by anyone’s standard, but a seven-second quarter mile in a vehicle based on a production Ford Mustang is something all the more special. Such a car does not exist but the guys at Pennsylvanian tuner Evolution Performance are hoping to build just that.

The team are using a S197 Ford Mustang Super Shelby GT500 as their donor car and hope to build it into a drag monster in time for the next NMRA drag meet in Bradenton, Florida, early next month. Evolution Performance can already lay claim to the title of building the first 2007 Shelby GT500 capable of an eight-second quarter mile but as always the team are trying to push the limits of the Mustang platform.

The key to the fast numbers is a custom twin-turbo package for the GT500’s V8 powerplant.
