Looking for HP and Quater mile Numbers for STOCK P5s

[Robot Romeo]

What a pisser. My 1983 Shelby Charger ran the same....

"0-60 in 9.0 seconds, had a 16.8 second ET at 82mph, and top speed was 117mph"

Pretty much like my Pro5. Handled great, but sloooowwww

wow, i had never heard of a "shelby charger". with a name like that i imagined a 500hp 800lb/ft beast. not a 107 hp econo-car. it went 0-50 in 5.5 second. i'v never heard of 0-50. i guess we should all be thankful for what we have.

I actually have a copy of that ad at home. That 0-50 in 5.5 has a ** next to it. I think it was a factory estimate of some sort. 0-60 was about 9 seconds. Not bad for 1983. That's back when "High Output" Z28 Camaros where putting out like 160 hp. (hah)

The Shelby did get me a lot of looks though. I have a picture I'll have to pull out and post. The car had a "Le Bra" and dark tinted headlight covers and louvers on the hatch. Plus, me with my mullet haircut, high-tops and acid washed jeans. Circa 1987 (thumb)

I will, but I'm certain I'll get abused! And, I have to warn the ladies though as they will get very excited and want me.. (glare)

 

[hyperboarder]

sure your car is adjusted properly for that altitude.

Not that I know of, anything I can do?

One of the first turbo cars I helped play with was a TD...i have a special place in my heart for the TI though TIII motors <3

it looks spikey because of the increments used. if the increments were larger it would look less spikey. every car is gunna look spikey when the increments are smaller. our torque is relatively flat for the type of car we have.

Well, i dynoed my P5 back to back with my friend's civic. His powerband was absolutely smooth and pretty....mine looked like a shark attacked it....

I can feel the "spikey-ness" in mine.

Damnit. Stock it was faster than my P5 with mods. 83mph trap! Almost back to the future.

yeah because the increments are 25 not 10 like in the graph i posted.

Those Shelby's are pretty quick back in the days. i used love them back in highschool. I had the 82 non Shelby Charger 2.2 back then and it was pretty quick back in the days. BTW, the HO Z28 (83-85)put out 190 hp. Its the pathetic 5.0 Crossfire injected 82 Z28 put out a mist 160 hp and 16.8 1/4 mile......

I still dont get how I run a 17.3 fastest.. and my car has all the basic bolt ons.. and you guys are running 16's with nothing at all.

auto or stick?

auto..

my mods list is somewhere on the boards.. those times were run with no back seat, spare tire, jack, carpeting, sub box .. etc.

perf mods were cold air intake, header mam midpipe with high flow cat, ractive exhaust, denso iridium plugs, magnacor wires

things that might have slowed me down,

17" rev model V rims.. not sure how much they weigh.. didnt feel that much different from stock.

I weigh in at 185lbs

night time.. about 75-80ish degrees..

Autos are doomed. Im suprized you got a 17.3 out of it.

Yes, you are correct. On a side note, back in '94 I found a 1982 Cross-Fire injected, Z28 Indy Pace Car in cherry condition with super low miles and was going to trade my '91 SE-R in on it.... until I drove the thing. What a friggin' dog!
