CRX vs mustang 5.0

03-16-2002, 04:44 AM

What if this were to happen? two of my friends are going to race. a 89 5.0 LX. He's got right around 450hp. He has a Vortec Supercharger, 3:73's, an X 303 cam, and all the bolt ons there are. the other guy has a 90 CRX, he has right about 290-300 hp. the car weighs only 1,800lbs. It got a GSR engine, a turbonetics T3/T4 turbo, cams, pulleys, gears, aem intake, fuel management system, and he is waiting for a venom nitrous set up. Let me know what you think. they both run mid to high 11's. ?????

You answered your own question.

If they 'both run high 11's' then it's obviously a tight race. State of tune for each vehicle and - especially - individual driver skill will probably make the difference in who wins and who loses.
