Torque (at the flywheel)

300zx NA 198 @ 4800
Mustang 300@3000

It's the torque the really matters since that is what give acceleration. The Z is geared taller with a 4.08:1 rear end versus the mustangs 3.15:1 (but you can buy 3.55 and 3.71 sets for the mustang). but this does not fully overcome the disadvantage. For example:

First gear drive ratios:

Mustang 10.55
Z 13.10

torque ratios at maximum torque RPM:

Mustang/Z = 1.22

Similar ratios through third gear.

Finally, based on published tests:

1/4 mile times

Mustang 14-15 seconds (mostly 14.6)

Z (2+2) 15.9
