Imagine getting whipped by this Finnish ex rallye champions Ford A.

That's insane. To get it to perform like that and still look so incredibly original (especially the wheels, tires, and suspension) is amazing. And I thought it was hard to do with a Mustang!

did you guys read the article and about all the sleeper mods they did to this car? it's got a spark "mis-fire" box that make it sound like a stock model A....freaking cool

I found the company that made this. Here's a link:

Amazing what they did. If you look at the background of the pictures, this shop is pretty darned nice!

That car was this months issue of Hot Rod as well. Nice workmanship, but they didn't post any performance numbers. I doubt it's all that fast on top end anyway. I've driven and owned Model A hot rods my whole life, and I can tell you this much, anything over 100 gets pretty dicey due to the wind. The front fenders are shaped perfectly to lift the front end when the air gets under them and the noise off the perectly flat windshield is deafening, and moves the car around plenty. The fastest I've ever gone was about 130 or so in my brother's '31 sedan, and it is slammed, has a 5 inch chopped top, modern radials and a 406 Chevy. The problem wasn't power, it was aerodynamics that make these things so scary at speed.

The credits at the end of the video shows the top speed as 200 km/h (124 m/h). It also states 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds (0 to 62 m/h).

In the video he looked to be doing every bit of 40mph thru the mild curves.........Reminded me of the Chevy boys around here. They sound like they're doing 140 while running the speed limit. Nice car though.
