| Kaleb and I have somewhat of a grudge match planned for next year's Flashlight Drags. His 1968 Plymouth Fury III Sport against my Crown Victoria. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]What we're wondering is which of our grandpa cruisers/cop cars will win? The '68 Fury III: -318cid V8 -727 3 speed auto -3600lbs -230hp 340lb.-ft. -2.73 gears -Torque peak is around 2,400 rpm -HP peaks around 4,400 rpm The '98 Crown Victoria: -4.6L 281cid V8 -4-speed 4R70W auto -4500lbs -240hp 285lb.-ft. -3.27 gears -Torque peaks around 4,200 rpm -HP peaks around 4,500 rpm. What do you think? | |

| I didn't know your torque peaked that high! Man, I dunno, it could go either way! | |

| I'll still be building torque while yours is falling. That's why I asked how much your curve falls after 2,400. | |

| And neither have any kind of helpful suspension mods. | |

True, but mine peaks at a higher torque so it could be matched with yours by the time 4,400rpm rolls around. - Alex98CVPI wrote:

Yeah, if anything mine has more weight transfer with being softer but neither will have traction issues lol | |

| The way they sit I would put my money on the Crown Vic. Put 373's in the fury and I think that would give it the edge. | |

| It would be a pretty good run but my money is on the Vic. | |

| Real close in the 1/8, but in the 1/4 it would be the Crown Vic by a long shot. I'm still going to go with the Crown Vic. Obviously very much dependent on launch on such a short track. I'll race you guys this year in either of my 4 cylinders [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

I would like to see the Sky against Linsbecks 5.0. With your car on DR's I think you will take it at the FLD's but on a full 1/4 mile I think he would catch you on the big end. That would be a fun one to watch. | |

| Stock for stock he's faster for sure. I think I would take the 1/8, the 1/4 would be darn close. | |

| Well I plan on making it to a few this year. I will race anyone since its all in fun. I think if I get a set of DR's it will be a different story all togethere for me though. | |

| i have no idea, i would have to see how each car performs, the driver reactions etc. power to weight ratio is going to be a big part in this duel. | |

| That gearing really kills it. Especially for the 1/8. However the weight does help it alot. It will be fun to watch. I hope to see alot more people at the FLD's. It is alot of fun and you dont have to have a redicously fast car to have fun. Hell my mom was thinking of racing her Maxima. | |

Kaleb/Tyler, there ya go! If Dave's mom brings the Maxima, you guys might have a chance at beating something! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Just kidding guys. I agree we need to get a lot more folks to show up. Everyone would have a good time. Heck, my son goes and loves every minute of it. Although, in every video of the races that I am in, you hear, go daddy go! Or.....Dave Lost!! LMAO! | |

Oh yeah, I figure I'll lose but I'll be catching him going past the 1/8th. The Fury really does take off once it's moving. - dlinsbeck wrote:
