"It's about mileage not racing"
The 3.07 was coupled to a trans with a deeper 1st gear and a much taller OD.
Not a fair comparison.
Then, what did you post this for? I took this comment as some sort of excuse why a Viper is faster.
I merely made an example of performance and mileage of a newer car that can be equaled in an old car by throwing a 727 and 3.91's in the dumpster is all I was saying.
Called a win/win is it not? You've done it, right? Must you argue?
Nevermind. Another misunderstanding.
Dammit,
I knew I should have used an '85 5.0 Mustang with a 5 speed as an example.
