Just wondering what you guys would figure for this one...

84 Z28 (my brown turd) VS a 1997 mustang GT (manual, bone stock except for exhaust)


Im thinking hes got me untill i get my new motor together...

 

Well looking at your mods I don't think you would have a problem with the GT if its stock. Both cars weigh about the same yours might even be less.

 

Cool, so i might give him a run for his money at least

 

is it your 305 or 350 racing the gt?

350 will have it easy, the 97 GTs are slow.
Idk enough about the 305s so i can't predict an outcome for it.

 

'97 GTs are dogs indeed.

 

I know I could run DEAD EVEN with a 98 4.6L V8 5spd Mustang GT with my old 350 with 130k on it. My only mods were Intake, carb, headers, dumps off the back of the headers.

 

Dude if its that engine on your cardomain, you will leave him so far behind he will cry.

 

Yes it is my 350 i want to race with, my other 305 could probably be beat by my sisters GEO!


Im just kind of leary because this motors getting pretty old and beat...

 

a 5spd 305 will tear that **** up.. Enjoy.

 

You just said in your car domain you are putting down 300 RWHP. You should have absolutely no problem taking down a GT. Actually you could probably start going after some stockish LS1s.

You have over 100 RWHP over the mustang and MAYBe even a weight advantage.

 

just for **its and giggles, how bad would i lose to a '97 4.6 GT. i have a 305(650 4 brl, roller rockers, 5 speed, exhaust). there is a guy in duncanville that is talkin alot **it about kickin my ***(we are the only muscle cars in the group).

 

What mods do you have to your 305 and is it an L69 and or Lg4? An L69 should beat a stockish '97 GT, a LG4 will lose.

 

I wouldn't bank any money on your actually putting down 300rwhp, but you should darn well be putting down more than the 98 GT that will be around 180-190 rwhp at best w/ just a catback.

Those GTs are pretty slow but I don't see a stock L69 or a mild mod LG4 taking one out either everything being equal, unless maybe it was an auto GT... Neither of those will touch even the measely 180 rwhp... I suppose w/ the 3.73s maybe the L69 has a fair shot...

 

Well im definately not even putting more than 20HP to the ground now...

I grenaded my motor the other night



And yes i was being a bit generous with "300rwhp"!

 

yo you fo sur put dat spank in da GT. no way dis pony be ridin fum you.

 

Hey, that looks just like my old Z28. Dark Briar brown or whatever color it was, ugly as hell. I painted mine S10 brown and it looked great...at least for brown.

Sorry to hear about the engine. It wouldn't have taken too many mods to beat a GT. I only did a handful of mods to mine back in the '80's and was running high 13s. Mine was a HO 5spd but had everything but posi and the rear windshield wiper, so it was on the heavier side also. Used to knock off IROCs, 5.0s, Vettes, and even the occasionally muscle car But running 13's on the street back then was actually fairly fast. Now its pretty common place.

Would have been a good run either way.

 

sucks you grenaded the motor. Any plans for a new one? Any pics of the carnage??

 

Ill try and snap a few pics when i pull the motor.


Ive had a buildup on the go for almost a year now, and to tell ya the truth iven really done nothing to it lol

But this is going to speed up the build a bit, pedal biking sucks!
