Yah, but it makes probably 10lbs of torque. That's not even a fair comparaison, that's comparing something top of the line to bottom. Why not compare an H.O., that'd be closer to a fair comparaison, or, better yet, a 426. 426 is puttin out 525hp and around 600lbs torque. Size to hp ratio the R1 engine will be putting out more, but, size to torque ratio, bet you the Hemi massacres it.

Besides, 302's are torque monsters, not hp. They have the basic building blocks for a 10k rpm hp monster engine with the big bore short stroke engine, but Ford tamed it down with heads, cam and intake.

OnyxCobra

ikeybmg

OnyxCobra

ikeybmg

oh, were talking about the 302, ive never even seen it yet! [&:]

new GTs do come with 300 hp but thier using 4.6 3v engines, which is alot of power but considering todays technology anything is possibly with small engines... 5.0 though monsters are out of date and need a revival with a little technology.

yeah the 3v 302 is in the new Saleen Parnelli Jones edition stang, has a tight shaker hood too
