Been looking at dyno numbers on v6 and v8’s also seeing what they weigh and not impressed. Looked at Mustang, Mustang GTs, C8 , Camaros , Chargers and Challengers. The horsepower to weight ratio is horrible. Once mine is up and going I should be around 375-400 at the wheels and my Camaro is in the 3000lb rage. Charger and Challenger were the worst 3800-4100 lbs. And they say every 100lbs is equal to 10 hp. Any thoughts?

I remember street racing some of the 5th gen v8 camaros and I was "with that HP you should be doing way better!" of course the weight is a huge factor. I'm just not too excited by a lot of the newer cars.Drivetrain Moderator - "There are no stupid questions, only stupid people!"
