Nick's 10R80 Supercharged Drag Car
We have been nothing short of impressed when it comes to Nick Fosnaugh and his 2018 10R80 SuperchargedMustang GT! With the help of Whipple Superchargers, Paramount Speed, Steeda and more, Nick's car has been the talk of many across the Mustang community for being the first car to break into the 1.1X60-foot range at the dragstrip.
Steeda offers a huge congratulations to Nick's accomplishments with this build! And we're sure he's only going to be closing that first 60' even quicker as the build progresses! As of February 28, 2022, Nick has also set a new world record for centrifugal supercharged S550 Mustangs by running the quarter-mile in 7.8 seconds at 177.5 miles per hour!
"I truly can’t say enough about the Steeda suspension - it just works! American made fit, finish, and function all the way." -Nick Fosnaugh
