Will my 5.0 beat a chevy truck and a acura?

Silver5.0 · 09-29-2001, 12:47 PM

I know acura but the acura is built he's bored the head and and has all the bolt on's will i still beat him. The chevy is a truck an older one like 77 and has 327 295hp but has like 4:56 gears or somewhere around there. I have on my mustang 3:55 gears,Racecraft springs,fuel pressure regulator,190lph fuel pump,mac headers,dynomax mufflers,G-load brace. Would I be able to beat them in the quarter mile. Thank you for your time. Sincerly, Silver5.0

The stock Acura is a high 14/low 15-second car and with mods, I'm estimating that the Acura you're targeting probably runs high 13's to low 14's.

The old Chevy truck may run 15's but with that steep rear gear, it would have problems in the quarter-mile, running out of RPM's.

Your 'Stang probably runs low 14's.

The Accura would be a tough race and could go either way, depending on driver skill and the actual state of tune of each car but I wouldn't bet money against the Acura.

The Chevy truck should get you off the line but only if he has traction. You should be able to take him - if he's stock.

Of course, this is a rather wild guess on both counts but the best I can do at a distance. Don't hold me to it.

I can't say much about the Acura, but it takes a pile of horsepower to make a truck go fast ( heavy + brickwall type aerodynamics )You shouldn't have trouble with that chev.

I disagree I bet the truck would beat the acura and the stang a 327 can be built to rev 8000rpm's or more and that goes nicely with 4.56 gears and if he has an auto with a stall he would run low 14's as well and both the acura and the stang would have to play catch up cause I think the truck would have a killer 1/8th mile there are many fast trucks here. My brother has a 69' C-10 chevy truck with a built 327 and 3.73 gears andthat thing is fast he has beat many a stang.
