Congrats to Jon Huber for getting his turbo four banger Fox body into the 8s. This is a street legal car that drove all over the country last year during Hot Rod’s Drag Week. More info at turboford.net.

I am extremely impressed with such power out of such small displacement motors. Certain comments posted are obviously the result of ignorance as one reader wishes to compare 4 cylinders to 10 cylinders and others wish to bring up drag only cars such as the VW bug (not street driven for any lengths of time) and bgd finally figures out rwd as oppposed to awd. I am not biased as I too am extremely impressed with what the Subarus can do and have very good friends with turbo chrysler 2.2s that can spank the hell out of most any V8 cars at any of your local tracks. To have such a talent for feats such as this are to be rewarded. Congratulations!! Mr. Huber

Amazing ride. Btw… most are making negative comments as they are jealous. That is a amazing job there. Great work!

Not sure about the “Fastest” claim, but this is an impressive car none the less. 20 year old technology, VERY streetable car, mostly full interior, glass, and I think all steel body. A lot of hand made parts also. There’s not much aftermarket support for these cars. so you have to make or adapt a lot of parts.
Considering that most would go with a V8 for drag racing, these guys are doing great.
I belong to the SVOCA, and have hung out with the Hubers. They’re great guys too.

hmmm…why no positive comments?
Anything running 8’s is impressive…
much less a 4 banger…
a street legal 4 banger at that…

I am certain that the mustang claim is rather bold and unjustified.
The beetle is a 1950 btw with engine upgrade (they have been doing that for years)

There is a few more vids at streetfire, may be the same car, different color..
amazing run to see and hear.
The class he is in is rwd street legal. I have also spotted a subaru wrx in the 8s as a 4wd, and that would seperate them apparently.
here is address for subaru video

note the rpm/turbo sound differences between a boxer and the stang.
Does anyone have an address for a four cyl turbo stang at dragstrip. I have seen them in the 8’s and turbo’d. incredible given the 2.3 liter I know. Boxer is the world champ and always will be, even with japans goofy 5 main bearings
