Big things are happening in Jarmo Gr\u00f6nman\u00b4s garage! A new ride is about to come alive for this season. And it isn\u00b4t just any car, it\u00b4s a 2016 Mustang Cobra Jet Factory Stock B. V8-Magazine has the whole story about the project.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jarmo from the Porvoo archipelago in Finland, is well known at the racetracks with his green Mountain Dew Stock\/Super Stock Camaro. A car he has brought to the top level in both the EDRS Series and the Finnish Championships. 2015 he Runner Up in the series and last year he ended up on the fourth spot. For the upcoming season, he is heading for a win in, what we presume, a 2016 Mustang Cobra Jet Factory Stock B.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

-It\u00b4s a Tami Brander- rebuilt car on a 2016 Mustang Cobra Jet Factory Stocker chassis, Jarmo says. We got the car in October, bought from US as a flooded salvage car. V8 Magazine is following the project that could be seen on the tracks this summer. The engine is a former Bo Butner 429 Ninja engine and the gearbox a Liberty 5 speed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now Jarmo and team is working hard to get this beautiful Cobra Jet race ready for the season. The Mustang project also involves Pasi Mikkonen as their crew chief. Pasi has been racing more than 20 years in Ford-teams and still got his -67 A\/S Fairlane, an ex-Jim Waldos race-car.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How come you choose the Mustang?<\/strong><\/p>\n

-Pasi\u00b4s blood is Ford- blue, Jarmo says. He has got the right connections to Ford Racing and is able to get valuable information from them. Also, the Mustang has new body design that looks cool!\u00c2\u00a0 We are really trying hard to get the car ready before first Tierp event 16-18th<\/sup> June. Now we only have to finish the paint job, do the wiring, suspension set up and you name it! Then we have to make a couple of shakedown” runs before first official event. We\u00b4ll see what happens.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jarmo have been involved in drag racing for a long time. 1992 – 1993 he was the Finnish Champion in a B\/SA Dodge Challenger six-pack. Then the family life took over for a while and the focus switched to street cars, Hot Rods and fast boats instead. But in 2014 the drag racing needs became too strong and he bought the C\/S Chevrolet Camaro LS1 he has been driving a couple of years since then. Things went very well so he decided to step it up a bit to the 2017 season.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If someone wants a rare race car, the Camaro is for sale after the Tierp event. The world\u00b4s fastest C\/S car: 10.09\/212 km\/h = 1.26 sec below index!<\/p>\n
