z24 vs 5.0 mustang
ok i know that most of the forum is camaro guys...but i havea 1990 z24 cavalier....i like to think of it as being a mini camaro....its got a 3.1 mpfi v6 with a 5 speed.........so anyway, i was on my way home from the store and i come across a late 80's early 90's fox body 5.0, so i stop in and sorta looked at the car, the guy imediatly jumped on me like idk wat.....he's like wtf are u lookin at in that pos cavi of urs.....so i told him if he wants to talk **** lets see where he's at with me.....so we go down the road a bit to a road that has been closed for awhile....its about 1/4 mile stretch.....so we get lined up and his girl drops the flag (rag) lol....and we launch we are side by side in 1st...i hit 2nd and pull on him by a fender....he pulls bak up on me at about 1/8th mile mark...and i powershift to 3rd and pull hard on him got about 1/2 car maybe more on him....he hits 3rd and gains some but im still out infront.....i pull 4th and thats where we shut down......needless to say i beat him.....i know it was only by a fender.....but still i got a stock 3.1 in a fwd and he got a 5.0....maybe he couldnt drive idk.......BUT IT MADE ME HAPPY. lol
i had a '90 Cav. with a 3.1 5spd , blue and silver. i ran and outran more than 1 stock 5.0 stang in that car..once you get over the tq steer they move on pretty good...first stock front drive car i had ever been impressed by...thing would give a real solid "chirp" in third....
Yeah have you seen the factory power ratings for those 5.0 Mustangs? They were really weak. I guess they made up there lack of power in torque but I would be imbarrased to sport a stock 5.0.
