The Z28 now is available with a 190 hp 305. This gives it a slight edge in the power to weight ratio. They also mention a knock sensor that can give you an extra ten hp increase if you use a high grade unleaded. The numbers of the test are as follows: Mustang GT Camero Z28 1/4 mile 15.4 @ 90 15.0 @ 93 skidpad .76 g .83 g The Camero also had a .3 sec edge in the 0-60 time. Considering the Mustang is a continuation of design released in the 1977 model year, it didn't do too bad. The testers liked the Z28 mainly for its handling advantages. I am looking forward to a redesign by Ford with more emphasis on aerodynamics. Always a Ford man, David Hayes teklabs!tekid!david
