No, he very definitely had a V8. He told me he wants a */c, but doesn't have $4,000. Heheh...I didn't say anything. I know what a V8 sounds like, along with his V8 badge...

What kinda power do those V8 T-bird put out?

I'd like to line it up with a T-bird....

He prolly meant BIGGER pulleys as was mentioned earlier, which take the load off the engine a bit.

A 1993 with a 5.0L HO V8 and it was an automatic. Specs: 235 Horses, 270 ft/lbs torque, with a 0-60 time of 7.6 Sec.

But his was chipped with a freer exhaust, so it would yield more.

If it was the V6 you would have easily beat him. Those things lack alot of power and they're pushing 3600lbs.

my friend has a 93 V8 TBird, and it doesnt seem too fast at all to me..

In 1993 a Ford Thunderbird V8 came with 200 hp stock. Don't know torque #'*. The Mustang 235 hp 5.0 HO V8 engine was not available in the T-bird.
A few years ago when my brother Dan had just got his motor in his 1987 Daytona Shelby Z rebuilt he raced his sister-in-law'* husband "Kyle" who had a 1989 Supercoupe T-bird. My brothers car had the 2.2 Intercooled Turbo II 5-spd with 174 hp and 200 lb ft. from the factory. The Supercoupe had 210 hp factory and ??? lb ft. with a 5-spd.
In a race to 100 my brother lost by about 1 car length. Both cars were bone stock and had had both of their motors rebuilt within the last 10,000 miles.
I have yet to see a Series I L67 race against either of the above cars so it is hard to say what would win. I would be willing to bet the Supercoupe might take a Series I L67, but not by much.

BTW, TrueWILDMAN, post your 1/8 #'*. I am and many other would really like to see the results.

They're not unless, as was brought out earlier, IT'* CHIPPED WITH OPENED EXHAUST AND BIGGER PULLEYS.
