Description
My old wheels. Miss this car...
1982 Ford Australia.
351C V8 Petrol Engine 5.8 litres
4 Speed manual.
200 HP @ 306 Torque (This was actually respectable for the era. Though V8's had way more power prior, by the 80's most US v8's only had around 130-180 HP due to new emissions laws. The Pontiacs managed to stay at 200 HP on the back of their 6.6ltr engine. I think there was a US Ford 460 getting 200 horses also in one of the Torino models. But they were big blocks.)
Top Speed 126 MPH
Qtr Mile 16.2 seconds (This was actually a pretty fast car for the era. This time though slow years earlier or later, was in its era going to beat most new cars on the road. A strange era. Extractors / a better carb got you under 16 seconds handily.) 0 KMH 8.3 seconds
