    In the 90s my wife wanted to race at a local dirt track so we found a 72 torino gt that was in terrible shape no drivetrain rusted really bad. So we built the car with a 460 automatic and the first season she placed 5th in her division for the season I was so proud of her.. sadly she passed away 4 years ago now All that's left are the memories

    Brings back so many memories. I bought a 72 Gran Torino Sport when I was 16 years old. My motor head friends and myself would go to Meander Dragway in Niles Ohio on Friday nights and race. Stop by Sunoco and fill er up with 360 and go run. Also hung out with all the area folks who had muscle cars including one Superbird, a few vettes, another 72 1/2 Gran Torino, 67 Camaro, many more. I still kick myself for selling my 72 GTS! They really went up in value after the movie "Gran Torino" came out and the appearance of a Gran Torino Sport in Fast and Furious series.

    Run a Stock 72 Torino against the stock 18 Mustang! Compare apples to apples!

    • @GODZILLATORINORACING
      @GODZILLATORINORACING  Год назад

      Not apples to apples, a stock '18 Mustang vs Stock 72 Gran Torino would not be a good comparison . The Mustang GT has almost 5 decades of technology. The fact that a modified Jalopy is performing at the a similar level on any matrix is very cool. I think the point is lost on some folks. Modern cars are amazing no questions about that but there is something to be said about building something in your garage with a low budget that can compete and beat it's contemporary rival on the track ..

    First off, my blood runs blue, I’ve been Ford my whole life. To see your car run low 12’s with all that show and sound, something is not quite right. When I was in high school back in the early nineties, I had a 73 Mercury Cougar with a basically stock 4 barrel 351 Cleveland (it was carbed very well, tuned by a wizard, and had a wicked ignition), and that little darling would run a pretty consistent 12.5 / 12.6, so I would love to know what’s choking your top end. I bet your carbs front bowl is starving for fuel. Thanks.

      @@burningblue1254 I guess you're comment sounded like you were saying the opposite . So now I confused 🤔. If we were have a discussion about cars , and mine in particular I could get the point . BTW my car isn't a race car it's a stripped down muscle car with some minor engine modifications and suspension mods and specialized tires for drag racing . Nothing exotic or too costly. Stock the car is capable of 16 second 1/4 mile times . It's now an 11 second car. But it's not very street able. Mainly because no $$ we're spent to ensure reliability nor comfort and handling outside the simple task of going straight and sounding and looking badass . So it's basically a bucket in the traditional sense . As in T bucket we're stripped down cars that just went fast and looked cool because the kids couldn't afford to do much else .
