RUFFIAN MUSTANG: 625 HP "Boss 427" All-Steel Widebody 1970 Fastback Mustang | EP16
Рет қаралды 1,169,789
Күн бұрынTurning heads and ticking off Ford purists, the rule-breaking, all-steel widebody 1970 Fastback Ford Mustang, with its 625 horsepower aluminum block stroker 427ci LS3, was designed after the TransAm race cars from the late 60s and early 70s. The Ruffian Mustang is artist Chris Ashton's first car build, which has propelled him into the automotive spotlight. Nicole takes an autocross Detour in the "Boss 427", properly experiencing its T56 Super Magnum transmission, Hoosier racing slicks, lowered front control arms, 3-link rear suspension, and g-force meter at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.
MORE ABOUT CHRIS ASHTON:
Chris is the owner of Ruffian Cars in Santa Ana, California, which designs, fabricates, modifies and builds street-able custom cars inspired by race car visuals, parts and technologies. As an artist with a 25-year career in the video game industry, Chris is also the co-founder and design director at Turtle Rock Studios.

Thank you for showing autocross in such a positive fashion. Other shows completely screw it up. They have cones set up wrong, they aren't wearing helmets, and they seemingly make fun of it. You know, it's like talking about football but showing a bunch of guys, throwing a ball, in a field, drunk. Autocross is a gateway drug to auto sports and is an absolute blast. If you're ever in the Seattle area and want some more autocross fun, look me up.

Look at you, Nicole, with your race face on around the 24:30 mark. Intensity! Gonna say getting that close to the owner/builder's time in a few runs is very impressive. As for the car, the 1969-70 Mustang Sportsroof might just be my favorite style ever. I grew up in a Ford house so I'd put a 410ci Windsor in it, but that car absolutely killed it. It's his car, he gets to do what he wants, and it's awesome. I'm supposed to be working here and I could not take my eyes off the screen during the autocross sequences. Another fantastic episode.

@@chrisashton7133 Yep. I also had a modded 61 Mini that was so much fun. Every street in town could be a racetrack. It wasn't so much about acceleration as it was about not loosing speed. I've also put HP Chevy SBCs in Jaguars. Jag mechanic hated the idea then he drove mine and then raved about it. Keep doing what you do. I want to see more from you.

Nicole is smart, does her research, and asks the right questions to get the information to the viewer. She knows what she is doing and shines the spotlight on her guests. When the discussion gets technical, she keeps right up and leads the way. I'm a believer in this girls awesomeness.

Gotta say, I drive a NASCAR Cup car on the track for fun, but this car is special. To be able to drive the car on the streets, yet have Chris's designed in advancements/improvements into the suspension and drivetrain to let it perform as nicely as Nicole and Chris did at the autocross, really shows just how good this car is. And it's a nice clean car! Really nice build Chris! Congrats on your hard work! Nicole, great job getting Chris to share some his knowledge, nice video technically, and super great job on the autocross! What fun!
