With the new 5.0's putting down 400wheel,

[OrangeChevyII]

The Zl1 was an 11 second car in bone stock trim, 10.80 cars with slicks.

While we are on this subject, I found a list of cars' 1/8th and qtr mile times ( appears that most come from mag reviews, YMMV)

A few that stick out: Hemi Roadrunner- 13.5 and a '70 model Chevelle LS6-13.8.

The ZL1 they show ran 11.68

Lol, someone has managed to forget the entire fox body era.

I should have elaborated in post #10 (late '80's stuff being superior to typical "muscle cars")) that I was speaking of 5.0 Mustangs.

The 1969 ZR1 Camaro=bottom 11 second car off the show room floor, 10's with sticky tires. Mopar didn't have a problem getting it done in the 60's either.

I'm glad to see you finally realized its been 40 years Ford has been in the weaker side of performance till the 03 Cobras made their debut!!!!


Welcome to the todays standards Coyote guys!!!

When where all these #s taken? I ask if they are recent most of these restored cars aren't 100% and usually run lower compression and milder cams. Not that they would be too much higher because of how bad the exhaust systems where back then. I remember reading a old car craft article where a ZL-1 Camaro picked up something like 125hp when they changed out the exhaust manifolds for headers. Id like to see some of the unmodified stock F.A.S.T. series cars on the dyno. Since they have to use all correct OEM parts they just know how to tune them well.

I found the numbers posted up in a thread on actual dyno results on a classic mustang forum. It was an older thread, posted in '08 or '09, most of the links were bunk on the charts/pics, etc. No way to verify, other than they were from owners across the country posting up their own results.

Remember, Holman-Moody prepped "Stock Class" 428 Mustangs were running mid-11's in the late '60's-early '70's. They had 427 guts, wild cams, and 4.xx gears. The ZL1's (unprepped) ran low 13's (by some publications).

Ive always thought it was odd that we have street cars that you can take from the dealer lot and run 11's in factory form, but the "Muscle cars" were 13'14 second cars back then. Im sure that headers and a better intake and exhaust would wake up any of these cars; look at the difference between the '70 2v and the 65 hipo, the 70 has a 302 and the 65 has a 289, but with a 4brl and higher flowing manifolds for 30hp.

Some of those numbers are bullshit. You guys also forget that a lot of those cars are going to have a big weight advantage over anything new because they don't have 18 aribags and electric asshole warmers.

They made decent tq#'s, and they arent nearly as heavy as the new ones are. I stumble on these number when I was looking for info on a holley TBI EFI setup, and found a couple installations in the car mags. The 66 289 that they did the install on (just replaced the factory 2brl with the TBI 2brl efi) and went from 113hp to 130hp on the dyno. I googled to find out if that was a very tired engine or something. This is what I found.

what gear are you 11+ guys dynoing in? I know the v6 with 2.73 gears would run up to about 200mph in 5th (1:1)

I have 3.55's in mine and according to the dyno sheet, we saw about 170 at 7500 rpm. Seriously doubt a 3.7 got to 200, unless you revved it to the moon.

[Rick Modena]

Too bad PPD didn't cram it up your ass!

I was in Allen, HAHA!

[SonicblueGT03]

shit try driving a 600+ h.p coyote!!

Takes a little gettin' used to, don't it?

Which TA do you have? My stock TA was rated at 286 flywheel. If its the WS6 those weren't 300rwhp either.

98 ls1 auto 3.23. Made 291hp/321tq to the wheels with 175k on it. It was also 100 degrees and humid as fuck. Now it has a lid, gutted lower air box, Slp smooth bellow and a Slp loudmouth so should be closer to 300-310rw in the Cali air. Was rated and 305/335 at the flywheel.
