Snap-On Gen 3 Coupe Build Airs July 20!

Posted on July 10, 2017 by in What's New

Last March, we built an all-new Gen 3 Coupe with the crew from Snap-On Tools here at Factory Five. The build was for a TV show highlighting our new Coupe and Ford’s awesome new 5.2L Aluminator 52XS 580 HP crate engine based on the Voodoo engine, but with a conventional cross plane crank. The 4-part series debuts on July 20th on Snap-On’s YouTube channel show “From the Ground Up.”


The Factory Five crew teamed up with the Snap-On Tools crew for this epic build.


The completed car traveled down to Charlotte Motor Speedway where NASCAR drive Joey Logano put it through its paces for the show.


The show will conclude with the test driving of the car. The morning of practice was wet , but you wouldn’t know it based on the blistering pace set by Logano right off the bat.
