By 1985, the Mustang V8 power was 210 \ 270. And that TQ curve was broad & flat. In '87 = 225 \ 300. The 'feel' was quite different than you'd find with a typical 4 cyl Prelude... - Ray TQ junkie

remember the tork figures, but since the engibe was the same 302 I had in my 1983 Grand Marquis (listed at 130 HP, tork unknown) and the acceleration of my GM was like a "Lead Sled", I am quite sure that the "upgraded" 302 was just as anemic...we figured out that the only way we could quickly accelerate was to drive off a cliff, and even then we thought that the friction of the huge "boat" would slow down its acceleration, violating the laws of gravity...
