Looks expensive. GT500 death.

Dug a bit deeper on a Mustang site and the owner did say 24 lbs boost, might have been too much?

Fire+Engine Compartment = Bad

24lbs of boost is perfectly safe.......if you're running the correct fuel and compression ratio.

(Don't forget the forged internals)

I think the 12,000 rpm in 3rd gear had something to do with it.....

Where'd you get 12,000 rpms?

wow, hope the rest of the car was O.K., hope the fire didn't cause paint damage or internal compartment damage... man that reminds mo of the kid who drove his dads brand new gt500 through the garage door >.<

this reminds me of the time my friends sister drove her moms car through the garage door and smashed the freezer full of fresh salmon. (thank god her dads classic Porsche wasn't in the garage then...

If she'd hit the Porsche instead of the salmon she would have been... sleeping with the fishes!

This is what I was guussing from the video, it looks like he ran too much boost and detonated a cylinder. obviously it wasnt a cylinder but toom much boost. greed will kill ya, or your car.
