Surprisingly strong contender First Drive Survey: New model, natural equation
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Portage rushes to call attention to that the Surprisingly strong contender is a pristine model for the Horse setup, and not an immediate replacement to vehicles like the Manager 302, Bullitt, Mach 1 or Shelby GT350.
It’s “the pony you didn’t see coming,” as per one chief. Be that as it may, subsequent to investing energy with the 2024 Portage Colt Surprisingly strong contender on street and track in North Carolina, kid, this one sure feels natural.
The Surprisingly strong contender works off the new Bronco GT we’ve proactively checked on, and it utilizes a similar normally suctioned 5.0-liter V8 motor, yet for certain significant changes.
More grounded camshafts, a fair driving rod and manufactured interfacing poles improve the Coyote V8 motor ready to endure track misuse, and a double choke body consumption and bigger nostrils in the grille further develop wind stream.
Joined with a little ECU change, the Surprisingly strong contender puts out 500 pull at 7,250 rpm and 418 pound-feet of force at 4,900 rpm.
