My neighbor down the street has a 2003 red convertible Thunderbird. He had garage built just for the car. Anyway, his car is a V8 which boast 280 hp.....ours are rated 210. The T-bird's 0-60 times is 6.70 ours 6.5.....T-bird 1/4 mile  15.10 ours 15.3. So why is the Thunderbird not any faster? It only has two seats? Could it be the hard top that's on the vert that weighs it down?
I was a little surprised when I saw those numbers.  Link provided below;

Could be, gearing, could be weight.. I'd guess that its a combination of both...

So If we had a big fat girl in our car with us, then what?

I reckon you just found an inexpensive, flexible means of lowering your car.  Just gotta feed her.

LOL.  I guess instead of measuring your mileage in gallons, you'd have to measure it in fast food consumption???

Why would you post something like that! Now I'm going to have to surf the porn sites to get that image out of my mind!
