Fox Tbird FASTEST pump gas car in America August 18, 2008, 11:05:01 AM "Congratulations to #3 qualifier Jim Plimpton of Franksville, Wisconsin. Despite stratospheric engine temps on the driving portion of the 5th annual HOT ROD Pump Gas Drags, Plimpton took the win with a 8.536-second e.t. at 163.06 mph in his ProCharger supercharged, 572ci Ford-powered '89 Thunderbird."1989 Thunderbird I think the article in the magazine states it ran in the mid-170s, not 163.http://www.hotrod.com/eventcoverage/hrdp_0805w_2008_pump_gas_drag_coverage/index.html Quote Selected
