This 1.3 Liter Engine Runs a 7.06 at 193mph! Makes me want to sing Bohemian Rhapsody
For those who do not know or merely want a comparison.
- 1 liter = 61.0237441 cubic inches. So a 5.0 mustang has a 302 cubic inch motor. A 5.7 is a 350 small block found in the like of the new Dodge Challenger. And of course the 70-73 GTO had a 6.9 liter engine… a 455 cubic inch monster under the hood.
From Fun Facts NHRA:
Pro Stock: Pro Stock cars look a lot like street cars, but looks can be deceiving. Extensive modifications to the cylinder heads, manifold, chassis, and suspension thrust them to 6.6-second elapsed times at more than 205 mph. The most popular engine choices for these carbureted, gas-burning vehicles are the GM big-block wedge, the Mopar Hemi, and the Ford wedge.
Pro Stock Motorcycles: Producing more than 300 horsepower, these highly modified motorcycles can cover the quarter-mile in less than 7.0 seconds at more than 195 mph. The chromoly steel chassis is cloaked in a lightweight, aerodynamically enhanced replica of the original motorcycle body, and the carbureted gasoline engine may be a Harley V-twin, a two-valve, or a four-valve.
All this is to say that little car kicks serious ass!
