Ford May Be Building a Four-Door Mustang Mach-4

It's been rumored for a while now, but the rumors are starting to sound extremely credible. Ford may bring the Mustang name back to the sedan market. MotorTrend expects a four-door Mustang Mach-4 around fall 2028, likely built from a stretched S650 platform rather than an all-new architecture. The projected lineup includes the 2.3-liter EcoBoost and an optional 5.0-liter Coyote, possibly even with a six-speed manual. Ford has not officially confirmed the car, pricing or powertrains, but it has shown dealers a four-door concept and filed for the Mach-4 trademark. Purists will complain about two extra doors. As wrong as it sounds with the Mustang name, a practical, rear-wheel-drive V8 sedan makes perfect sense when you remember how few alternatives remain.

Team Haisley Is Back On Top

The Super Stock Diesel 4x4 Truck class may be as big as it’s ever been, but you can never count one of truck pulling’s O.G.’s out. That truck is “Rock Hard Ram” and it resides in the Haisley Machine stable. In recent years, builder and driver Van Haisley has periodically awarded driving duties to his grandson, Tripp—and the youngster has definitely delivered behind the wheel. Friday night in Fort Recovery, Ohio, Tripp piloted Rock Hard Ram to a First Place, 343.87-foot victory. It’s a win that topped the efforts of Craig Dickey and Cummins Killer III, the hard-charging Super Stock GMC that’s been hard to beat this season.

A 7.3L Super Stock Puller In Second Place?!

Tommy Hassler knows a thing or two about how to get a Ford to the front in the dirt, and last Wednesday his P-pumped 7.3L Power Stroke coined “Twisted Addiction” finished Second Place at a pull out east. Ironically enough, Hassler was only looking to make an A to B pass with the truck in an effort to collect some data. Well, judging by the video at the link below, things must’ve felt good enough to stay in the throttle well beyond the 300-foot mark. No other truck in the class matched his ground speed (29.8 mph), and only Curvin Zimmerman was able to move the sled further.

What In Tarnation…

Speaking of 7.3L’s… How about a 7.3L-swapped Ford Ranger hooking to the sled? This one is HEUI fired and making far less horsepower than Tommy Hassler’s, but that doesn’t mean owner Mitch Shannon isn’t having a blast with it. If the 444 ci V-8 protruding from the hood isn’t enough, the bull hauler stacks are sure to grab your attention. The factory frame (with added crossmembers), ’95 Ford Ranger SuperCab sports a Dana 44 twin traction beam up front, a 4R100, bigger injectors, and a factory Super Duty turbo (for now). A recent hillbilly stress test against a bulldozer lit up the truck’s fan page and then the “Power Ranger” was off to the Bunker Hill Shootout in Beloit, Ohio. Follow That73ranger to get the whole story on this 7.3L-powered Ranger puller.

The Real Cost Of Emissions Testing

Immense yet often unspoken fees are associated with a private company bringing a CARB-approved aftermarket product to market. Recently, PPEI’s Kory Willis helped shed some light on this rarely discussed topic via social media, and did so by asking fellow small business owners to chime in and share their experience(s) in working with the EPA and CARB. In particular, KC Turbo’s Charlie Fish revealed that it took three years and $30,000 in fees to test drop-in 6.0L Powerstroke turbos—with placed obstacles impeding the process all along the way. Others weighed in, with the cost associated with testing a single product coming in at $13,000 to $25,000 per part number.
