That is the reason the smaller cube 302 Mustangs could make a good showing against a 350 Camaro was that the Mustang USED to be a much lighter car. The Camaro with factory gearing was not fast on either drag or top end. With gearing in the 3's the air drag on the square nose was greater than the 302 could push past about 120mph. My friend of 50 years has a Yenko Camaro and that sucker IS FAST with the torque a 427 can put out. As someone said the 302 was put in street cars to qualify to be used in the CanAm series and was never meant to be a performance car. Drop by the shop sometime and I'll take you for a spin--bring a book to read while we get up to 120. Primer is where mirrors are removed. http://s32.photobucket.com/user/coilover/media/IMG_4028%201.jpg.htmlhttp://s32.photobucket.com/user/coilover/media/IMG_4026%201.jpg.htmlhttp://s32.photobucket.com/user/coilover/media/IMG_4025%201.jpg.html
