not sticking up for capitalj...but yes..if a mustang weighed the same as a civic did and it had 400hp...it would run low 11s

my point is that a mustang with 400whp cant due to it's weight...my point was just that a civic with 400whp is faster than a mustang with 400hp...if you go power to weight ration and make them the same, then that's another story

This is such a stupid argument. Weight is no the only factor. Traction, gearing, driver and suspension setup all play into it. There are mustangs with 400hp running low 11s.

Nevar!

The whole argument is stupid though. Like I said, there are a ton of factors plaing into it that are not even mentioned.

Indeed.

im sure its possible. with right gearing, and setup ect.

[capitlj]

Without a doubt. There are fox cougars and t-birds running 12s with only 325 hp and they are heavier than the stangs.

My Capri ran a 12.35 on motor with 311 hp to the wheels and a 12.80 on motor when it only had 245hp to the wheels. You have to remember on Mustangs you can change the gears very easy and they respond to that well.

Alright, I'll show you my slip next spring when I get some decent tires.
