Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Drag Races 2019 Ford GT Carbon Edition
In recent weeks, we’ve seen Ken Block‘s mighty 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn drag race everything from a donk to a trophy truck to an RX-7 race car, and yet, it remains undefeated. So the crew at Hoonigans continues to throw just about everything they can at the all-wheel-drive, twin-turbo, 1,400 horsepower menace on wheels. This time around, it’s a pretty pricey and rather gorgeous 2019 Ford GT Carbon Edition.
In terms of power, it would certainly seem that the Ford GT Carbon Edition is at a major disadvantage right off the bat. Not that it’s a slouch, but the GT’s 3.5L EcoBoost V6 puts out a ‘mere’ 650 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. And while it typically enjoys a weight advantage over most foes, that’s certainly not the case with the gutted Hoonicorn.
What the GT does have going for it is modern technology, at least. So perhaps it’ll get off the line a little quicker than the Hoonicorn, or perhaps shift a little quicker?
