Can I be....frank?
You don't remember 1987 when the Buick Grand National turbo destroyed every '60-'70s muscle car in existence at the drag strip? That means "real" muscle cars have been slow for at least 25 years. :laughing

You guys have different insurance or normal state farm type? My mustang is non op but I think I'm gonna get it running. I was looming into Haggerty and other classic car insurance companies.
Nope I was born in 88...

DAMN you destroyed that poor foe foe too.
Nice Maverick. My buddy had a '73 Comet GT in HS. Great under appreciated cars.

Doesn't really care
They beat every performance American car in 86-87. GM killed it because they were faster than their flagship sports car the Corvette. That being said, a good running T-type would run 13.80's because they were lighter than the Grand Nationals but, no they were not faster than every 60-70's muscle car.
Side note...4.11 gears and legit detroit locker in a 8" on my 70 mav....
3600rpm at 62mph!
I am working on getting the 5 speed in now!
Cant floor it in first or top of second, breaks traction on both wheels and wheel hops like a MF and the driveshaft hits the tunnel....
Never ending project.

I'm looking to do a similar thing 'cept with 3.73's. Where'd you get your parts/the install done? Or did you do it?

The grand nationals pretty much were. Most of those 60's and 70's muscle cars were pretty slow from the factory.

This does not include the Yenko cars/Hemi Darts ect ect. Also please remember the fact of tire and suspension tech of the 80's was far superior to the 60/70's cars.

So As I said and as I say as a former T-type owner. No, they are not.

Yes.
I've finally joined the "owner" club- Here is my project I just purchased last weekend. Got her running already- but terrible misfire/backfire when driving. =\

Best 1/4 mile of 11.20 @ 120 with a 90 shot and 2800 stall.
With a 175 shot and 3500 stall I'm sure I would be well into the low 10's.
It was street legal in NC, I used to drive that bitch to and from the track...good times... Not so legal here in Cali...
This was one of my favorite races
