But it has more horsepower than many of the V8s from the past.

Let me know how it goes when your T4 goes up against a 1971 440 Super Commando GTX.

'69 427ci-Yenko 5.4 sec 0-60 mph 11.9 sec @ 114.5 mph

What time would a T4 run with bias ply tires?

100% pure internet speculation

bet it would burn those tires right off the rims due to the lighter weight and lack of traction.

Wow! I didn't know that. You made me look.

I guess the 747 Tourqueflight with a 4.10 Dana and long tubes made my friend's a bit quicker. Like 13.7 @ 113 on street tires, spinning all the way. 0 to 60 seemed like nothing. We had a blast in that car, never lost on the street.

Anecdote:
It was so good a cop would sit around the corner from his house. So three of us would show up at his place and when it was time to roll we would all go in different directions while our buddy snuck out the back way

I tried to buy that car. I paid half down, and he was to deliver it for the other half. But he wrecked it (totaled, bent floor in a unibody) on the way to my home.
To this day we are still like brothers.

When I saw the 5th gen and it was rated 13.0@111 I was sold. My friend loves my Camaro, but he will never drive it

Back then that was good......now with a little tweaking and some real good rubber on the back it would run better. ..... the race doesn't stop at 60.
