So my buddy has a 91 Mustang notchback which he has had dyno'd at over 500 RWHP. His car weighs a TON lighter than mine, plus I had a passenger on board, so we thought we'd play around to see what would happen. The actual dig sucked, as he took off only after the 2nd beep, and then I spun. The results were pretty obvious after I hooked up though Let me know what you guys think.

hey whered you get the HUD from?

nice pull btw

 

Got it from LPE years ago. Thanks for the compliment

 

Excellent. You car is extremely nasty...ehhmmm In a good way

 

Schweeeet.

 

so his car weighs a ton lighter than yours

 

that was a very insane kill!!

 

Was 160+ really needed lol

 

And it didn't take too long either!

 

I am honor'd to say I have your old tires/wheels that were on that car....you give me something to shoot for! Insane man I'm jealous.

 

I believe the notchback Foxbody was the lightest they made in the 80-early 90's mustangs. Somewhere around mid to high 2,000 lb range. Mine weighs 3400 empty, plus I had a passenger with me video taping, so "yes" he was a bit lighter.

I knew the camera was rolling so I figured I'd continue the run to show of the brutal top end power of the car. When I let off the gas, and looked up the HUD said 178! To this day, thats the fastest the car has seen while it has been supercharged.

 

the notchback (stock) weighs in around 3100 lbs.

 

I know he has made the car lighter than it came from the factory, but I thought stock it was lighter than that. Either way, I still had him by more than a couple hundred pounds.

 

it would take some real gutting to get the weight that low. I had a 5.0 GT and it weighed about 3150 and that was with alum heads, intake, removed smog stuff, alum radiator, removed a/c, removed spare, removed fog lights and brackets, removed front sway bar and a couple other little things. GT's only weigh 75-100 lbs more.

 

To be specific, I don't believe his car is a "GT" (I edited my orginal post). It is a 5.0 notchback. The GT's have different bumpers, sideskirts, and spoilers. His doesn't have any of that stuff, and he's done some weight reduction like yanking the spare tire, and the air conditioning. He told me he figured his car weighed 800 lbs or so lighter than mine, so I just figured the math and posted what I thought he would be at. I didn't get any "actual" proof of weight from him or anything. I have another friend who had a notchback as well, and I know he told me it was the lightest as well.
