well there are many many different possibilites of power in a crate motor.. but those things are heavy and are dogs imo, unless he has over 300 then i tink a 99 + should take him

Crate motor could mean anything. There is really no way to tell.

Third gens are actually pretty light, people think they are pigs because stock they were down on power. A stock theird gen should be around 3200 lbs without driver give take few lbs due to options.

Yup, theres like NOTHING to their *** ends.
Light as a feather.
Friend had one with the 350TPI in it, ran an Astounding 15.6?ish
I'm sure if they were to let breathe you'd see massive gains...
But stock, they are teh suck.

lol when did 3200lbs become "light"?

And yes TPI is crap. Almost as bad as GMs "x-fire injection". heh.

Uhh 3200 lbs may not be light for a civic but for a v8 rwd car its pretty light.


TBI is the garbage, tuned port injection is actually great for tq.

Unfortunately we all don't drive 1800lb tin cans. 3200 isn't a bad weight for a V8 F-Body. Any clue what the new Mustang weighs???
