i think roughly 200lbs ...so it's like losing 20hp.

auto cars seem slower then manual but in reality its just the feeling of shifting that boggles your mind.
no it's not, autos are definetly slower.

the 86's are so ugly its running for its life. thats why the 03 is slower.

the fugly four eyes run faster scared than a modern gt does pissed.

weight, gearing etc all play a part. the 4.6 does not make much torque, where as the 302 does. once the cars are rolling the 03 will walk away.

ive seen 03 gts run about 14.2ish... stock , yea the fox runs a high 14... so it is close... and if it were a vert... it would be closer.

i like how my, basically stock, gt keeps even/beats them and srt4s

i think my motor is bored over . i know some work has been done to it, theres a brand new clutch cable and from the feel of how stiff the clutch is i would say its new too, and the rubber boot cover on the firewall for the steering column is for sure new.other than that i cant tell, but the 03 may be faster but it doesnt take of nearly as quick at all! it doesnt put u back in the seat the same at all
