Yes, I read that Mustang last month and thought that was pretty cool.
I thought that the car was pretty slow though for the power it makes....:)
Very sweet project though!:thmbsup:

I would like to know the weight on this combo.

At Hot Rod magazine's Drag Week, Mike proved just how well his Duramax-Mustang combination works with a string of low 10-second runs with no nitrous, and a final 9.91-second pass once Mike turned the bottle on. Oh, and he drove it 900 miles just to get to the event. On the return trip, Mike let us know he averaged an astounding 35 mpg at about 75 mph. What's scary is that there is a lot more left in the car (http://www.dieselpowermag.com/features/ford/0901dp_1994_ford_mustang_duramax/nitrous_express.html#). On his 9.91-second pass Mike shifted late, ran out of nitrous, and had a slow launch. Once Mike gets the current combination dialed in, he is confident the car will run low 9s, and that's with a "small" tune courtesy of Volker Schwartz. With more aggressive tuning and more nitrous, the car should virtually walk into the eight-second range. Oh, and did we mention it gets 35 mpg?

Thats pretty sweet. Glad to see a fast reliable car getting better than 12 mpg. lol

How many of those were made?

Unknown, although pretty damn rare. When this one came up there was all kinds of debate if it was even real (it is).
