1200 horsepower, 35mpg Mustang

I was fortunate enough to go on Drag Week and hang out with Mike Woods, and I can tell you this car is for real. He was on an 800hp tune when he ran the 9.91 pass, but there is a lot more left in the car. The crazy part is that he was running at 2200rpm down the freeway, and with that diesel is happiest (mpg-wise) at about 1600rpm. I think 40+mpg is possible, and when it's dialed in, it should run high 8s at 160mph in the quarter mile. Has to be some kind of hp per mpg record
