$60,000 can buy plenty of cars, but will such a sum normally afford a car capable of 10.0-second quarter-mile times? Probably not. Lebanon Ford of Ohio is offering a solution to the dilemma, however.
The famous Ford dealership is back after revealing its crazy-cheap 1,200-horsepower Mustang GT and 550-hp Mustang EcoBoost packages, and this latest one is called the LFP 10. As stated, Lebanon Ford promises consistent quarter-mile times in the 10.0-second range with this package, with 10.5 seconds as an average. Oh, the price? Just $59,995.
Lebanon Ford starts with a Mustang GT and installs a Stage 2 Roush Supercharger, upgrades the fuel injectors, drops in a bigger oil pump, increases cooling capacity, and provides an ECU tune. Total power output is rated at 700 hp, but the dealership says most cars will be tuned to just 650 hp for reliability reasons. The dealer recommends the automatic transmission for the consistent 10.0-second times, but it will gladly make a manual gearbox-equipped Mustang into a mover.
Adjustable shocks and springs tuned for drag racing and a set of Mickey Thompson tires complete the drag package. The ever so sticky tires are what help turn this pony into a sprinter; they’re street legal, but they won’t make for a good time anywhere outside of the drag strip.
Note, there’s no factory warranty on any of the modifications, so it’s not quite the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon competitor. After all, the Demon comes from the factory with a little peace of mind.
Lebanon Ford may have introduced the simplest way to own a 10.0-second car. But it begs the question, where will Lebanon Ford Performance go next?

experience the closest contest in the show’s recent history. The brand-new Corvette Grand Sport combines the Stingray’s 460hp V-8 with the wide body from the Z06. The refreshed 911 Carrera S uses two turbochargers for the first time, making 420 hp from its rear-mounted flat-six. In execution, these two sports cars couldn’t be more different, and yet, they both offer supercar-slaying performance with a more affordable price tag. They’re both brilliant sports cars, but the big question is whether the Chevy’s outrageous cornering grip is enough to beat the 911’s ludicrous straight-line speed. Motor Trend Senior Features Editors Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman declare a virtual dead heat in this head-to-head—until they’re joined by pro racer Randy Pobst to set a tie-breaking lap time at the Willow Springs Raceway. In fact, our first-ever episode of Head 2 Head was between the previous versions of these cars, and the Corvette got clobbered. Will history repeat itself? Watch and find out.
Bouncing east, Tom Cotter hits South Carolina and debuts a new ride, discovered in a previous episode. He left his 1939 Ford Woodie Wagon at home and cruises around the Palmetto State in his 428-cid V-8-equipped 1967 Ford Country Squire. This time around, Cotter’s search yields a bounty of convertibles in one location, a one-owner Plymouth ‘Cuda 340 in another, and a shop full of Chevy‘s with a few Big-Block Chevelles.
This video was to prove that a 318 can be made to make power under low budget applications. Although the block was re-sleeved to except 340 pistons, the engine had a 780 Holley installed after this video and we gained approx 25-35% more HP but we were always messing with the carb, the edelbrock might seem like a small carb for 625cfm but it works well…This is just one of those engines that has response and does not hold back, amazes everyone in our group and people who attempt a take down of this mopar. This is no means the fastest car ever…but it holds its own and i am having fun.

A joke comparison between a $300,000 2013 McLaren MP4-12C with its 616 horsepower 3.8 L V8 transferring its power via a paddle shifted 7 speed DCT vs. a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 with its bicep shifted 4 speed Muncie Transmission.
