bench race

MrWesson22 I belive I have made a error. I previous posts I was refering to the 1973 T/A with the 455 super duty engine. The super duty 455 made 290hp and 395 lb/ft of torque. An automatic version was capable of propelling the T/A down the quarter mile in 13.54 seconds at 104.29 miles per hour as reported in Hot Rod magazine in the June 1973 issue.

On the other hand the 455 in Greystang's friend's T/A is probably the base model 455, which made 250 hp and 370 lb/ft of torque. However it would still be a good race(if the car is in good tune). A 1973 T/A weights around 3400 pounds and a GT should weight in at around 3200 pounds. This is a pretty good weight differance, however the T/A has a 70 more lb/ft of torque. Greystang's car should make around, I would guess, 250 hp. I think I would be a good race.
