We knew it was coming—Andy Manson tried to remain quiet over the winter of his impending turbocharged conversion but word always seems to get out. Manson along with car builder and crew chief Chris Acors of Acors Performance rolled out their totally revamped 1996 Mustang Cobra this past weekend to rave reviews this past weekend at the NMRA-MIR stop on the Keystone Drag Racing tour. The SN95 race car is virtually all-new for 2012 with the aforementioned turbocharger (Precision 85mm large frame), new modular engine combination using a billet intake from Berry Motorsports, new paint job, and many new bars inside the cockpit of the mid-7 second ride. He qualified with a 7.59 at 182 mph but tragedy struck when some connecting rods decided to see daylight thus ending his weekend of fun. Manson has vowed to come back soon and judging on his initial success with the new combination, Jason Lee might have someone knocking on his backdoor.
