Would a 2000 mercury grand marquis beat a 1996 mitsubishi 3000gt sl in a race?
The mercury grand marquis has 215 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and 290 pounds feet of torque at 3,250 rpm. the mitsubishi 3,000 gt has 218 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 205 pounds feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. the grand marquis weighs 3,958 pounds and the 3000 gt weighs 3,329 pounds and is a five speed blokeual. the mkecury grand marquis is a 4 speed automatic.
Answer
Look at the horsepower to weight ratio. the 3000gt wins that one hands down (a little more hp, a lot less weight). no contest -- the 3000gt would win that race. the only way a grand marquis could beat a 3000gt is if the grand marquis had a police interceptor engine under the hood.
