Title: twin turbo bird, any info on this car?
Post by: whitefox on May 31, 2014, 11:15:41 PM
Came across this pic in a random search today. There wasn't much description with it, just that it's running a twin turbo 460 pushing 1200+ hp. It's one of the wildest fox birds I've ever seen, even if there's not much fox left. Just wondering if anyone here has any more info or pics.

Edit: forgot pic

Google Erica Ortiz. She drove that car for a while and ran mid 6's at over 200 mph in the 1/4. I asked her about the engine when she was on Yellowbullet a couple of years ago. It was running a stock block and stock crank! I asked her how often it had to be freshened and she said they pulled it apart after 100+ passes and the rings and bearings were still good. That car is what made me want to do a turbo BBF in my other TC. Pretty sure she runs a Mustang now.

That car got re-skinned as a 2005 or later body style.
I think I read somewhere she had the body panels (you see in the pic) on a wall in her shop/garage.

The most impressive thing about the engine was the stock block and stock crank.
That's the beauty of turbos.
