There are some sleepers out there that you suspect might have something done, but if you saw this 1997 Ford Falcon cruising down the street it would not be one of them. Under the Hood (Bonnet) you’re immediately greeted with what at a glance, appears to be a Naturally Aspirated V8 gently tucked in the engine bay. Ok, fair enough…but wait, is that an air bypass valve? Right about there you start to realize that there is a lot more to this setup than you anticipated, or at least we did. Following the plumbing around some we wound up at the back of this Austrailia native Ford UTE (Coupe Utility Vehicle) where we found where the magic happens! Tucked down deep in the bed of this old farm truck are two 69MM Borg Warner turbo’s that quickly made us aware this car was in no way slow! Seeing a setup like this leads to a lot of questions and we started asking them. Follow this Aussie’s journey through Hot Rod’s Drag Week 2017 with us to see what a week of torture does to the spirits of a Drag Week newbie!

The way America is going folks we'll be next!! Anything that's fun or exciting will be banned eventually. I think Australia confiscated all firearms from there citizens too, Australians love burnouts they'll blow up a 30,000 dollar engine to give the crowd a show. You gotta love them!
Love that he's rocking the stubbies (shorts)

It’s a Falcodore.
That Ute needs some weights in the back of it!

At 0:58 Not true. This model came with an option of a 4.0i Alloy head straight six or the 5.0i Windsor V8. There are plenty of these around in Oz in both 6 & 8 cylinder variety. LS twin turbo = Wank wank, say no more. Use a Ford motor ffs.
