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!

Sleepers do not have wide tyres and parachutes you twit
It’s a Falcodore.
That Ute needs some weights in the back of it!
He actually just happened to be driving down the drag strip to work.
Up the fucking xh
8’s is great but would anyone but the owner want to be seen getting out of a mutated ugly what the hell ever it is. Lol

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.
imagine…. just flying ur backyard blaster over to another country and just driving across and competing in drags… glorious
Whats the commie doing there aswell!?
love the boost pipe running next to the center console
Onya mate
yeah our australian road laws are the harsest in the world…
NRNR classic aussie
"Yeah m8 just chuck that turbo in the back of me ute"
9:25 love those Melbourne Storm shorts ðŸ‘ÂÂ
Over the years, the term 'sleeper' has gotting increasingly misused. Important note : Sleepers don't have drag slicks and parachutes!
6:46 is that an Aussie doing a burnout over the horizon
In Australia that ute body first hit the roads with a 351, 302, 250 back in 1980 as the XD Falcon…
Soo weird to see a Mustang coming and an Rancharo going. Lol
I wana be an aussie when i grow up😎
What a load of shit. where did this guy pull this shit about power to weight ratios. That only applies if your a learner or probational driver. Look up Rod Hadfield. He had a hot rod that was around 3000hp street legal with registration. You cant just put 1000hp in a rusty car thats falling apart but if its done correctly and ticks all the boxes theres no issues.
I got the turbos in the back
Thats another fucking country the people let ruin their rights. Part of the problem is they are still part of the British monarchy.
You can technically have modified cars here. You just attract bullshit defect notices. Unless you're building an off-road car, police don't pull rock crawlers over.
Aussie AF🤙 yeew
This thing prolly killed more racecars than the New Zealand shooter! super sleeper
Did anyone else notice the Australian monaro at the start of the video (Pontiac GTO). Few Aussie cars there.
