mustang vs any z

[jmortensen]

Probably pretty close. You have a 70 which is lighter, but you also have R200 with LSD which adds weight. I know mine with a full carpet kit, R200 and Autopower roll bar weighed 2350 with 1/2 tank and nobody in it. I'd suspect yours is probably right around 2300. So yeah, that sounds about right.

[Zs-ondabrain]

at 2300, that puts me at 13.77 in the 1/4 mile. Hell, I'll take that, even better than 13.97 at 2400 or 14.07 at 2450

I so need to do a Dyno and weigh in.

[jmortensen]

2300 sans you. Add your weight in there, and I'd guess you were pretty close with 2450.

sblake01 the question was "any z vs mustang" when i was talking about my zx i was sharing one of my thoughts as an example of what i thought. i see you on the forums all the time and you are always a smart a$$.

Oh, lighten up! Didn't you see the smiley? Just giving you a hard time......

[superj243]

sorry if i over reacted

[superj243]

dave, i wish i knew that much about my car.

[Zs-ondabrain]

I only know that much about it cause i have build it from the ground up. If it's not stock, or doesn't look stock, it's cause I put it on or did it myself. Which is just about everything on the car.

8 years with the same car will do that to a guy

2400 w/me in it and 315hp

2400 w/me in it and 315hp

2450 and 400hp... eventually.

84-86 mustang svo was pretty quick. Turbo 2.3 liter PINTO engine 210 hp and with some mods good for 400 hp. Not bad for PINTO engine, Buick also had thier Grand Nat with the 87 model having 276 hp. I think if you drop the Grand Nat engine into a Z you would have a pretty demented car that would smoke a Roush, Saleen or otherwise Mustang.
