Thriller Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Willis - I remember years ago with my 3L 91 Ranger with 5 speed, a cap, and over 500 pounds of humanity in the cab...center lane, on one side a 5.0L Mustang convertible and on the other a '70s 4 door...these guys were staging at the light. The light turned green and I beat both of them up to speed limit. I almost had to pull over we were laughing so hard. The driver needs to be taken into account sometimes. I recall mentioning that on a forum and someone then talking about how the Mustang convertible was the heaviest of the Mustangs and making other excuses. It still brings a grin to my face.

Guest Mike1953 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I agree that driver skill has lots to do with it...and although those convertible mustangs are heavier...I was told by a good friend that races at the strip that you get a tenth of a second for the first 100 pounds removed..after that the law of diminishing returns kicks in...
