> fox body stangs were around 2900 lbs. Where did you get 3400 lbs from?

I wasnt aware the fox body stangs were that light. I read that the GT versions were heavier because of all the extra crap they put on them (spoilers etc) The later cars are listed with a curb weight of 3350-3400lb curb weight. a skylark which is same dimensions as a chevelle or GTO or 442 is by no means a boat anchor. wait till Shaggy gets his ass handed to him by a 10 second riviera or a bone stock looking and sounding skylark that runs 11’s. he’ll be singing a different song.:stick:

that would be a nice street combination in a lightweight car like your mustang. with the correct gearing and a good tune it should be lots of fun.
