Racing with an American flair has long been a big hit in Australia. The Aussies have always had a thing for hot rodding and high performance vehicles. Many of the makes and models that we enjoy in the United States have become popular in the land down under. Even to this day the “Falcon” still lives on and remains in production by Ford within Australia. Well where we be without the Mustang? It’s hard to tell, but that is another craze that has remained strong all over the world and now the Aussies are getting bit by the Outlaw 10.5 bug.
FullBoost.com provides up to date action from down under and they recently brought Dom Luppino’s Outlaw 10.5 Mustang to our attention.
Domenic Luppino has set out to build a truly fast ride and has hired all the right people to make it happen. His 2002 Mustang don’t look any different than if it were sitting on a dragstrip here in the states. Like so many others that want to go fast, Dom made the call to Proline Race Engines for his source of power. Master tuner Steve Petty and the rest of the crew put their heads together and came up with a killer small block package.
The small block comes in at 440 cubic inches and packs a pair of 80mm turbochargers under the hood. Along with a full out racing chassis the car is coming around quickly during testing and a recent race. Steve Petty made the trip to Willowbank Raceway to help get Domenic settled in with the tune up and with each pass down the track the car has gotten better. The very first pass was a 7.99@193mph in testing and eventually went as fast as 7.04@202mph. The consistency led them onto win a race as well during the Street Machine Pro Street Nationals where Dom won his class.
