camaro 2.8 or tunderbird 3.8?
i have both cars and i wanted 2 know what car will be easy to make it go faster? my camaro 2.8 has 135hp and 160Torque and my thunderbird 3.8 has 135hp but it has more Torque rated at 235. but both of these cars run about 16.9 in the qtr mile. does more Torque mean faster off the line for the thunderbird? because they both get off the line about the same, and they are both around 3200lbs.
does any one have any answers?

tq makes you accelerate, hp makes you go fast. 50/50 on this one. Depends also yr of t-bird. I have seen some supercharger kits for teh 3.8L stang (3.8 f-bodies dog them n/a) and there are many hop ups for the 2.8~3.4 cars.
