Over the years only a handful of race teams have given the Modular engine combination a go, and even fewer have found success by forging ahead and truly exploring the outer limits of the Ford factory engine. MMR, or Modular Mustang Racing, based in Camarillo, California, is committed to the modular combination by design, and so its no surprise that they’ve collectively outperformed any and all contenders to the modular throne.

In addition to a slew of other records and accolades, MMR had previously become the first to crack the 200 MPH barrier in their 2010 Shelby GT500, making it the fastest small tire, modular powered car in the world at a booming 204.4 MPH. And over the weekend, they placed themselves squarely in the record books once again during the season opening PSCA Spring Break Super Show in Fontana, as driver Mark Lutton blasted his way to the first six-second run by a non-tube chassis modular machine with a great 6.991 at 205.04 MPH.

The MMR team opened qualifying in Outlaw 10.5 with a 7.03 at 202 shot followed by an aborted shake and spin effort. But on the third crack at the Fontana quarter mile, it all came together with the magical six-second number that they’d worked tirelessly to achieve. The incrementals on the run were 1.13, 3.053, 4.59 @ 160.77, and 6.991 @ 205.04.

The MMR GT500 is powered by a Ford Racing 5.4 liter mill known as the “Monster Mod,” fed by a pair of 80mm Garrett turbochargers and featuring MMR-ported four-valve GT500 heads, turbo cams, and a custom sheet metal intake that produces some 2,200 horsepower. Kudos to the MMR crew and we can’t wait to see how much more they can wring out of that thing.
