How does a Maverick perform?

How does a Maverick (wit a 302) do against newer performace cars (camaro's, mustangs, Chargers, etc.)?

 

dont got one but id bet much better since they are lighter..

 

New car suspension beats old car suspension easily ... not eve a contest. And unless that 302 in the Maverick is making 300+ horsepower it won't be close. My 2006 V6 Mustang feels as fast or faster than my 302 Maverick ...

 

Dem '06 V-6s have 200 hp and runs 14 sumtins tho i do believe. what bout a 5.0 Foxbody('89-'93) stang?

 

depends on what is done to the 302 and the maverick. i've run 11.8's with mine and only a 308.

 

Stock for Stock, Auto Vs Auto

 

well if its stock for stock then thats not even a race..

 

Yeah .. my 4.0 is pretty quick ... I have K&N CAI, Dual Exhaust with H-pipe off a GT and an Custom ECM tune ... so it's about 240 at the crank and 200 at the rear wheels ..

I would think the last of the fox body GT's are about the same ...

 

My Comet is a 302/C4 and it's not even close to a Mustang or Camaro.
138hp isn't a lot.

 

my friend has a 307 in his '69 chevy c/10 thats bone stock with 200 hp.

my other friends 85 elco has a V6 with 130 hp..

 

I knoe yall prolly aint into this but, if i git this car ill prolly throw a 305 chevy in (Got tha motor for free). Ill prolly end up copyin a combo built in Camaro Performace Magazine, They ended up with 372 Hp with just heads, cam, intake, carb, and headers.

 

oh no. not a chevy motor in a ford..

 

It'll only be temporary. Ima be lookin for a 351 Clevland or a 400 (small block i think) ford. Ima GM guy but i like to keep tha car brand and motor brand tha same. ford car ~ ford motor, Pontiac car ~ pontiac motor...etc.

 

WORD .

 

Stock Maverick/Comet 302's sure do have low horse power numbers. But they must have good torque numbers, or the factory rear gear ratio, one of these 2 has something to do with it. Because it'll get off the line pretty dang good for stock.
