1050hp Turbo LS-Powered 1988 Ford Mustang

Trevor Whitaker's 1988 Ford Mustang is a no-prep drag racing machine featuring a turbocharged LS engine swap.

The transmission setup now includes an FTI Level 5 Powerglide and Hughes Performance torque converter, optimizing it for no-prep racing. It showcases a unique black/brown metallic paint, supported by Viking coil-overs and UPR control arms. Inside, Kirkey racing seats are fitted alongside a Grant steering wheel and Holley digital display.
