How fast can a Speed Density 350 reach 60 in with a 3.23 gear? Stock Z28. Friend says 6.7 I say 6.2. Settle this please.

 

TPI i assume.. 0-60 should d0 around 5.8 secs - 6.2 secs... AVG is 6 secs... Tell your friend hes a moron.. all hear from 4th genners and ppl say that l98s run 15s stock and 0-60 in 7 secs... man i dont say that the lS1 runs 0-60 in 6 secs and does a 1/4 in the 14s...


EDIT: even a poorly geared l98 (2.77) does 0-60 better then a 6.7.. Or a heavy optioned GTA l98.. only if the car is in tuned... well we are assuming..

 

Thanks, this kid, like everyone else I know think they're the F***ing professor of Automobiles when it comes to cars. When I tell people w/ mustangs straight facts about their cars they get hella pissed and call me a liar. Funny.

 

well ppl think of 3rd gens as 305s LG4s... SO when they here a L98.. they say its only a 350.. Wouldnt do much any better then a 305 cuz its a 3rd gen from the 80s..... Even tho it runs 2 secs faster then a LG4 in a 1/4

 

5.8 sounds about right for a stocker.

 

yea.. a poor gear LT1 (2.73) runs 5.8 0-60.. I CANT SEE WHY A L98 3.23 geared or 3.27 could run the same

 

I started a thread in the cars wanted section, but basically I want to know how well a 120k L98 TPI will perform, considered the sensors, alternator, distributor, coil, and spark plugs and wires have been changed.

 

If it has been maintained properly throughout its life than it should run as good as the day when it was new.

 

Thanks man. I'll sleep better tonight knowing that. Heard the reliblity of L98's from people on LS1tech.com, but didn't know if they were just saying that. Problem is finding one well taken care of.

 

i have a 1991 Z with a l98 and has 16k org miles on it. You want IT! IM SICK OF IT Black Cars =

 

well on street tires, on the street, 60 takes alittle while to get to if you dont get traction

at the track, i grip REALLY nicely on my street tires... enough so to do a 1.88 60 foot. i never watched my speedo at the track so i am not sure how fast it is, but it goes thru the gears pretty quick. it takes 8.80 seconds to get to 77mph so i assume 60 is around high 5's at the strip

on the street, with my 2800 stall, 60 mph is about 6seconds.. i have to walk it out of first somewhat cuz it will break loose and be slow

 

id say 5.9-6.1 seconds on average for a stocker 91-92 z28.

a stocker Lt1 will average 5.5-5.7, an ls1 will average 5.2-5.4.

stop teasing me, of course I want your car

Thanks for the info guys, you rock. I think I'm going to make the switch from Ls1tech to hear, the detail of TPI on this site's the best.

 

Why dont you tell us some facts about Mustangs and see why they get "hella" pissed. They might not be facts after all...

 

Ya, I was thinking the same thing. But I don't think this is the place or right forum. I could see a huge flaming war come out of this one

 

What? There's never been a flame war on here before.

 

Calm down, Iv'e never ripped a 5.0, some people just think mustangs are the fastest cars there are. I'm not tryin' to start no war, just explaining how knowledgable my friends are about cars.
The high end 5.0's were very good then and now, and matched and beat third gens. The LT1 came out and it surpassed it's ford rival, and then ford switched over to the 4.6l V8, the were completley embarassed by LT1's/LS1's. Most people thing of the stock numbers for 96-02 camaros and mustangs to be the same wrong! The F-body dominated the pony car market in performance(but definately not sales). The new stangs are the fastest ever, the first GT's in 13's, but it took a long time for the 4.6 to evovle to what it is today.

 

How many subs do you have in this car?

<-- car audio forum

 

haha as I was reading I was wondering why no one commented about that until I got to your post.

 

The 5.0 fox bodys and the thirdgens were always very close performance wise, although I think I might give the nod by a tenth or two to a 91-92 G92 L98 car over a 5.0 stang of the same year. A little more power, WAY more torque.

The LT1s were WAY ahead of the GTs in terms of power. On paper the way they were rated from the factory they appeared similar, however IRL, the LT1s put down about 300-310 fwhp straight from the factory, whereas stangs put down their advertised numbers. 240ish I think for the pre-98 ones, then after 98 I think they were rated at 260. Still 40 hp shy of an LT1.

2004 Mustang = 260 HP.
1993 F-body = 300 HP.

Which would you rather own? Then the LS1 came into the picture and made 40 more hp at it's rear wheels than those GTs did at the FLYWHEEL. LS1s sound like sh*t though Hence why I will never own one.

A 94-95 5.0 stang was slower than it's foxbody counterpart, but imo, slightly faster than the 4.6 that was to take it's place. However it is still the old school 302 that can be worked. The early 4.6s (96-97) were f*cking jokes. 15 second cars.

98+ the SOHC motor that was in the GTs is a decent motor, but it takes alot of work to make it haul.

The cobras, mach 1s and bullit mustangs are a different story however. 4.6 DOHC motors, alot better than the GT's SOHC version. The mach 1s are capable of running high 11s with nothing more than a few bolt-ons and a few hundred pound diet. And you all know about terminator cobras so I won't go into those...

But imo, the GTs a joke. Completely. I've never lost to one that wasn't highly modded, street or strip.

 

I've never lost to a GT either...

because I won't race one.

maybe a db drag race I could try my hand at.

 

I think even a non-PI (96-97) 4.6 could take your 3.1

 

4.6 > 3.1... it doesn't take a genious to add it all up...

 

how does this have anything to do with car audio?

 

agreed

 

this was originally on the street boards..... then some on moved it to the audio board.....

 

weird...

almost as weird as thinking of Michael Jackson hugging kids...

just plain weird..

 

yeah this was on the street racing forum.. why the hell is it in the audio forum
