RE: Aint what i thought she was
new cars are just plain faster then out old mustangs. Espiacally a car like a M3. lol. I dont understand the physics of it. I have been beat by a car that wieghs more then my mustang, and has less HP. WHY? Im pretty much postive it has to do with gears and it being front wheel drive.

My 69 Mach 1 with a 1990 302HO and a 4 speed toploader just lost to a BMW 3 Series. Now i know alot of you guys are very classic focused but i like muscle cars fast
I'm thinking ima have to re prioritize my paint job and go with the 351 crate motor first.

My GTP is a LOT faster than my Mustang is. It runs a PB of 13.6 but i know i can still get it lower a few tenths. Anyways, The gearing, handling/traction, drivetrain loss all make up a big part. O... and theGTP is supercharged(stock) and does put out more HP. thats why -Jon
PS. i added my sig from my GTP forums... So now youll have to look at a giant grand prix every time i post
