1900HP Stick Shift Mustang - WORLDS FIRST 6-Second Manual Domestic! (Factory Ford Block)

We're back with another feature from FL2K21, this time we catch up with Joel Steele and his 1900WHP stick shift mustang. During FL2K he came out swinging, securing the record for first manual domestic car in the 6 second 1/4 mile club! What's even more impressive is he's still running a factory ford block (*aftermarket internals) with Manley Performance valvetrain and using Turbo Smart for boost control. Watch along to learn everything about the build!

@@MafiaboysWorld that's not a real loss lol so it's really not even worth mentioning at all. I'm surprised the track officials didn't let them try it again considering the tree malfunctioned and the racer didn't break the rules... Anyways, if the race started like it should cleetus definitely would've lost for a couple of reason, 1. Being that his car is not a 6 second car and 2. Consistency wins and Leroy is anything but consistent.
