TomServo92 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Link With "Chrysler in the same boat as GM," as Black puts it, the only likely partner is Ford, though its remotely possible Toyota may be interested. Sounds good to us – the new 2010 Prius is already the perfect wedge shape for drag racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blksn8k2 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 The shift is already on (pun intended). NHRA Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan has already announced he will be in a Mustang next season. http://www.nhra.com/story/2009/5/27/pro-st...or-2010-season/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the new 6.2 Boss truck engine be a good base or would they need to go back to 60's era big blocks as a base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading something awhile back that Ford is developing a 500CI engine specifically for NHRA Pro Stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will the prius look like when it has a big block engine under the hood and a hood scope where two trash can size 4 barrel carbs are sitting on top of the engine. I think it will look terrible and a prius is not a HOT ROD, like other cars are. Oh well, my two cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for laughs, someone should photoshop pro-stock hoods on these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom, are you sure that was for Pro Stock? Ford did recently develop a new 500CI engine with John Force for the Top Fuel and Funny Car classes. I have not heard anything about Pro Stock though.
