Late last year we showed you a video of a 2010 Mustang Cobra Jet running down the drag strip in just 8.4 seconds @ 159 mph.
We thought that was quite impressive, but apparently the turn-key drag racer is capable of going even faster. The Tasca Racing team recently took their Cobra Jet out to New England Dragway in Epping, NH and laid down an incredible time of 8.06 seconds @ 170 mph. This makes the Tasca Cobra Jet the fastest in the world, as far as we know. Is a seven second time slip in the near future for a Cobra Jet? We sure hope to see one.
Thankfully someone had the cameras rolling during the run and has posted it on YouTube. You can see the video below, showing the run from both outside and inside the car:
