GTspirit reports on tuning packages often, but we never doubt that anything could go wrong. Although, there is a different side to the story. You can go a bit too far when you decide to tune your sports car.

See the video of the Mustang blowing up it's engine!

That mustang is dubbed "Dons Blue Diamound" a close friend of mine.

He's such a die hard car show fanatic, that he showed up to the Daytona Destination Benefit Car Show today (Dec 4, 2010) and show off his custom hood


It's already being fixed, and he expects 1000-1200 rwhp when done

I would like to know how high up in the RPM range they got before it blew up.

I would like to know how high up in the RPM range they got before it blew up.

I'll find out, but he mentioned HP on dyno was reading 810 rwhp at time BOOM !!!

Thats not a lot for a shelby or cobra, esp to blow up. The cars have a tough bottom end and I have seen them make 900-1200 rwhp with a stock bottom end. Was he spraying it?

 

[pcasey06]

ouch. it was def above 7000 rpm.

Don, the owner of the Stang stated he's repairing the "Blue Diamound" and bringing back with a reported 1000-1200 rwhp in the next 2 months.

I've seen this video online recently. Sad to see it, I've blown a motor at the track before. Not a good feeling, but I came back bigger, badder and stronger!
