00'GT vs. 01'Camaro SS

Well, hp = (torque x rpm / 5250)

Top speed is absolutely dependant on hp.

I ran an late 80's early 90's CRX Si with my 77 Mustang II. The stang didn't have a muffler at the time, and according to the speedo, completely maxxed out at 117mph. I was still pulling on the CRX pretty bad up there too.

Anyway, about hitting 130 in 30sec, lol, an SN95 5.0 can't even pull that off. Not even close. Those cars will top out around 140ish, 137 as tested by Car and Driver in late 1993.

Would you say a little CRX DX is probably compareable to a base Volkswagen New Beetle? The new Beetle took 28.0 sec to hit 90, and it has an estimated top speed of 113mph.

The MX-5 Miata with 140hp struggled to a 23.2sec 100mph run.

By the way, 0-130mph took 44.7sec in a 1994 Mustang GT as tested in the "Mustang vs Camaro The First Test" by Car and Driver December 1993. In case you'd like to blame them for shitty driving they got the stone stock 1994 Mustang GT to pull a 0-60 of 6.1sec and a 1/4 mile of 14.9@93mph. Basically, they drove the **** out of it. The Camaro was a similar story, pulling a 5.4 and 14.1@101. The LT-1 powered Camaro was nearly 20sec better to 130 than the GT, at 26.2sec. Still, I hardly think ANY stock CRX will hold it's own against an LT-1 top end (156mph).
