Ford claims to have driven a quarter mile in 8. 27 seconds at an exit speed of 168 mph in personal practice, and drove the fun Bob Tasca III car from NHRA to Indianapolis to face a 2018 Mustang Cobra supercharged in a sports class V8. Jet powered by Tony Pedregon. Ford has never had official strength for the Cobra Jet V8, however, it has been estimated at about 1000 hp.
Tasca had a slower reaction time and pulled the top of the wheel stand and long in the green light, allowing Pedregon to take an early advantage he abandoned. The gas Mustang outperded its electric counterpart 8,797 seconds at 158. 26 mph at 8,826 seconds at 156. 81 mph.
The race gave Ford a chance to show off Chevy, whose 700-horsepower eCOPO Camaro controlled a quarter mile in 9,837 seconds at 134. 07 mph last year.
