1/4 mile acceleration : Old school vs New School

**Falcon500** · 10-14-2003, 12:59 AM

I know this is a little off subject but why not a mustang or a F-body? the v6 models wouldent be too far off some of the import stuff for speed and they might actually be a little bit more practical. And the v8 ones would be fine performers just a little thirstier but if your looking at hot hatched and other such speedy jap stuff you wouldent be too much more out of pocket the Mach 1 mustangs get somthing like 24 or so mpg around town i read ill have to double cheak to be sure.

ok aus. is the king of performance sedans...

**Falcon500** · 10-14-2003, 02:48 AM

Yeah but id rather have some performance coupes instead of mostly sedans and very very expensive coupes.

Dont knock it. Europe has a lot of coupes and a lot of front drive 4cyl.

**crisis** · 10-15-2003, 12:41 AM

Also I wouldnt consider a stock 245kw CV8 overly expensive.

1). Two doors
2). 2 + 2 seats - ie; the 2nd set either not there or useless for anyone but the vertically challanged

3). RWD ONLY!
4). ENGINE - anywhere it'll fit

5). Composite body of some sort
6). Stiff suspension with NO roll.
7). Sub 6.0 sec 0 - 60
8). .... wait I'll get back to you....

**BiTurbo** · 10-16-2003, 04:12 PM

...........
8). Must be a production vehicle - not a limited number - but maybe with 'special' editions.
