1965 Ford Mustang Vapor (2016 SEMA)
The name of the exhibit is Vapor, and it is
described as a “ferocious” Mustang Fastback. It was restomodded by
RoadsterShop, and will be seen at the Eaton booth at the 2016 SEMA Show.
The Vapor comes with an Edelbrock E-Force Coyote
motor that has been supercharged. Evidently, since the car will be shown in the
Eaton booth, the V8 will come with an Eaton supercharger. To be specific, the
unit is a low-profile supercharger that features Eaton’s TVS rotors with four
lobes.
With many modifications, the engine delivers 785 HP
at the flywheel and a peak torque of 894 Nm. The figures come from
the Edelbrock dyno facility, and the unit runs on premium pump gas. The
compression ratio is calculated at 9,5:1, and its creators promise reliable
supercar performance and dependability.
Traction should be kept in check thanks to the Eaton
“Detroit Truetac” five-pinion rear end, that is designed to suit high
horsepower performance applications. The creators of the Vapor have not
released any performance figures outside of power and torque measurements.
Aftermarket customers can order most of the components found on this car.
The one-off Mustang has taken countless hours of
work for the creation of bespoke components. Many parts were made with the CNC
machine, and the team fitted the vehicle with new wiring, a classic shade of
paint (Sport Classic Gray), a custom suspension, and a refreshed chassis. The
interior was handled by the specialists at Avant Garde Designs.
As usual with SEMA designs, interested buyers could
contact the makers of the vehicle and order something similar to the exhibit.
We must note that Vapor took two years to build, and that it was commissioned
by a collector and enthusiast from Southern California.
