We’re all winners in a race of V8s.
The Bowler Bulldog is a Ford Mustang, and their V8s have a similar displacement of 5.0-liters. This unique connection makes it possible to hold a drag race with friends to see which car can claim the 5.0-liter V8 crown.
The 2020 Ford Mustang GT is the first competitor in this mismatched drag racing race. Its clever dual injection system uses both direct and port injection to give the Mustang its 5.0-liter V8 450 horsepower. The Mustang’s latest Coyote V8 is a revy wonder that can reach 7,500 rpm. Mustang’s naturally aspirated V8 is responsive and has the character of modern turbocharged engines.
The Mustang GT, in drag racing with its V8 engine, also features a 10-speed automatic transmission. This combination of powertrains is ideal for consistent drag racing performance. Ford claims that this trim of Mustang can accelerate from 0-60 in under 4 seconds.
The Bowler Bulldog, a terrifying Land Rover Defender with the heartbeat of a Range Rover Sport VR is in the opposite corner. The supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine gives the Bowler Bulldog dog 550 horsepower, which is 100 more than its Mustang counterpart. The Bowler Bulldog’s 4-wheel drive system receives power through an 8-speed auto transmission.
The Bull Dog is more than just a Defender with a bigger engine. Bowler takes the entire chassis apart and rebuilds it. It is easy. The goal is to build the best Defender money can buy.
The Bowler Bull Dog is a significantly more expensive vehicle than the Ford Mustang, but its huge victory is just as impressive. The Mustang is engineered to be fast on the roads, while the Bull Dog can handle offroading. However, the Mustang’s speed is not the only benefit.
