A pot stirring of x3 and you're bound to

179HP (4300RPM) 244TQ (3200RPM)Need to get ahold of a 94-95 supercoupe 5speed... 220/320 roughly
weight is the killer with these cars. Actually the first "real*" Tbirds just hit 10s over the weekend. Both heavily modified....
one was a supercoupe... 3.8L V6, eaton M90 blower, a lot of engine work (Actually a "shop car" for Coy Miller Race Engines) and some nitrous. IRS car and pulling the front wheels...ran 10.85 (125ish IIRC)
other car was a twin screw (or whipple I think actually) blown V8. I think this one was pushing over 500HP/500TQ to the wheels to get to the 10 second range (full interior, fully streetable)(* I say "real" tbirds 'cause there are a few back-halfed tbirds around running faster of course)
Should be a few more knocking on that door though here real soon.
Matter of fact, good buddy of mine is up in the top 10 I'd guess (per-dyno)...might see him up this way sometime next year hopefully. -
Cummings 600 truck engine makes 600 horses and 2000 pounds of torque. Put that in your T-Bird
You know the T stands for turd right? -
advertised as a measley 300 pounder

I dunno if I ever posted this story (this is when I started giving honda guys heck for not having torque).....August 1st all day street legal event...
Was sitting in the staging lanes waiting for the first races of the day (I think it was)....and that 4 door honda with the unpainted body kit (he here BTW?) pulled in...was a car back in the lane next to me. I had the hood up standing by the front of my car and he came up and started chatting...
...asked me what I had done to it (I told him)....then asked me how much power it was making. Told him 179....then added it's making 244ftlbs of torque. His eyes just lit up and he replied with "woah, that's a lot of torque". I had to chuckle....
