So theres this little dude at my school with a 98 Z28 (A4)...stock... he says he can take me..but i'm not sure... His brother had told me that he took him with his 350Z (the bro also use to have a 98 SS)... But the little brother is pretty adamant about being able to take me... with my mods do you guys think I can handle him? (i figured i'd ask this on both the mustang and camaro forums and see if the answers vary)

i know i've heard some LS1s coem with like 320rwhp stock, like the freaks... so i was jw



P.S. before I get flamed I use to drive a 97 Z28, and thats how i started out on this forum

 

Well... the new mustangs have what 290-300hp to the rear? With your mods, if hes stock id put it at a close race. And i think the LS1 has more than 320 to the rear but im not 100%. they have 350 at the engine is the popular consensus.

 

i have 325 at the rear

 

You have 325 at the rear right now? after all those mods? ouch... I have a feeling it will go to the Camaro.. sorry...

 

hm idk if a stock 350 could take it... and i have almost 370crank.

 

You have 370 crank and 325 to the wheels? How do you have that much loss? My old 3.8L mustang was rated at 150hp and 145rwhp or something like that.

 

Im no math wiz by any means.. i actually really really suck at math but isnt that like an 80 something percent loss?

 

Uhh...more like 12%

 

how the heck does that work? Whats the formula to figure out loss? I must be doing it wrong.

 

autos usually lose about 15% and sticks 12-13% you take the crank and multiply by 1-.12 or 1-.13 or 1-.15 to get the crank from wheel you take that number and multiply by 1+.12 or 1+.13 or 1+.15
