I was reading some articles on that very subject and found out why the hp levels seem questionable,from what i read the mustang dyno is a spooling dyno and is about 140 hp more than a real load dyno,giving the inflated numbers that seem soo wide spread on those video sites.
A 300 rwhp civic is about 160 rwhp on a real dyno.
Now it all adds up why the rwhp numbers and the 1/4 mile times dont jive.....Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

Mooneye, From the dash I could tell it's a Mustang. Just looking at the hood scoop, the no frills dash and the rollbars, I''d say its either a Shelby 350 R or a clone of one someone made from a Mustang.Duane S

I agree about the car. The track is Watkins Glen, I believe. It's a great video.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
