So that got me thinking. How light could one get an f-body. According to the 9.5:1 weight to power ratio 200rwhp car weight 1900 lbs. It could be quite easy to turn, brake ect. that little weight on 275 tires and 14" willwood rotors. Shouldn't it? Can one get an f-body under 2000lbs?

3rd gens came with 4-cylinders, although it was the horrible Iron Duke. Sneak a turbo ecotec in there though...

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Do you think the Musturd 4 banger was any better? I rented a car with one of their auto V6 cars about five years ago and it could not get out of its own way - and I owned a Monza with an Iron Duke that was faster! |

The Mustang 2.3L is at least an engine that has been raced and was available in turbo configuration. It's also OHC which means it should breathe better than the pushrod 'duke. So, yes, I do think the Mustake 2.3L was a better engine, at least in theory. |
