Built for a penny-pinching time trial series based at NCM Motorsports Park, the Ford Probe of Cody Willet and Stephen Lee has progressed over the years into a fast, but still frugal, competition platform. Their Probe regularly outruns far more expensive and exotic machinery (which, when you’re talking about a Ford Probe is almost everything, but still…). Take an inside look at this quick machine that surprises its trackmates by filling their mirrors more often than they expect.

Sounds fantastic! I've always loved those Probes -- probably just nostalgia since they were new when I was in high school.
The coolest guy at my job got a brand new black Probe GT in 1995. LUCKY! Of course, he was like 30 and still bagging groceries at Kroger, but at the time I thought he must be doing pretty well for himself.

A lot of stories about racing Probes seem to start with "I got one because it was cheap, and was surprised to find it was faster and handled better than I thought."

I love Probes. I really hope to find a good cheap running manual version in the near future, to turn into a track rat.

So you couldn't get them to wear their helmets for that interview? That crappy old POS Ford was definitely the best looking thing in the video.

Fun piece of trivia. For a time, the 17" take off RE-71s on Cold Lotion came off my Miata.
