2018 Ford Mustang GT Drag Races Supercharged F-150, Crushing Is Heavy

The 2018 mid-cycle revamp allowed the full potential of the Ford Mustang GT to shine. However, despite this, there are plenty of owners who want to take things even further in the drag racing game. Of course, this is where the aftermarket side of the industry steps in and we're here to bring you an example of that.

The 2018 Ford Mustang GT we're here to showcase has been taken down the forced induction route, being gifted with a Whipple supercharger. As you can imagine, the owner didn't wante any time after modding the machine, taking the thing to the drag strip. Note that the machine packs the ten-speed automatic, which makes the most out of the V8's muscle.

However, the opponent of the 'Stang made for an even more interesting proposal and that's because we're talking about a pickup truck.

To be more precise, the machine that faced the pony is a current generation Ford F-150, with the bed wielder having also received a Whipple supercharger. And since the thing comes with all-wheel-drive, its takeoff is simply amazing.

The truck also features a few other mods, such as a lowering suspension, all with the aim of improving its drag strip game.

You can check out the battle between the two at the 12:09 point of the video below, with the part of the clip that follows being dedicated to other drag strip shenanigans. most of which involve Mustangs.

However, according to the YouTuber behind the wheel of the boosted Mustang GT, the Whipple F-150 didn't work perfectly during the said drag racing session, so we might see this machine putting up an even fiercer fight in the future.

We'll always support unconventional builds and we're glad that the owner of the F-150 decided to stray from the path of supercharging a Mustang.
