Thread: Ford in NHRA Pro Stock?

Tweet

I dont know for sure just a guess, But I think aerodynamics play a big part in thier non existance in pro stock. The bodys have to retain the factory roof line and the front ends cant be altered very much. And the mustangs are too flat nosed to plow air all the way down the track and be competitive. And to keep up in a tight field that is ussually within a few thousands of a second to qualify, aerodynamics are a huge part of pro stock.

if FORD MUSTANGs are so bad, why did they win so much in IHRA? most of the problem is in building that 500 cid motor. monster motor FORDs run better.
but personally I think that pro stock would be more fun if they ran small block motors.
