1972 485HP 302 Comet doing a burnout through every gear. Not the best example of what this car can do but still fun to watch. You can almost smell the rubber!
What is your motor setup? Heads? cam? intake? Compression? Thats alot of hp out of a 302. I have 68 mercury cougar. AFR heads, about 10:1 compression... good cam... headers.... and im putting out around 395 HP. Great looking car and thanks for sharing!
@harlon2u: Well, it does also depend on the rev band and other factors......if it happens to be pretty high, and/or you have a transmission with 5 or 6 gears, then it'd be different.
"Where I live, there's no road straight enough for top end."
Well, okay, but that doesn't mean there aren't roads like that out there.
@MiracleMile90 I ran a 302 mustang ll with 4:11's daily. I also had a nova with a 454 that would hit 120 in the blink of an eye with 3.73's. Although the gas prices keep me from the lower gear band now. Where I live, there's no road straight enough for top end. And let me rephrase "ricer" to "rice burners". Since the younger generation want to change what a ricer means.
@Scooterdesigns: {P.S. Just so you know, in case you ever get to read this, I wasn't referring to your Comet as the 'ricer' here. In fact, I like yours. ;-).}
@harlon2u: But, IMO, why waste a perfectly good Comet by putting ridiculously short {4.30, 4.56, etc.} gears on it{unless you have an engine that has a decent rev band, or more than 4 gears}? If it's true that ricers are usually described as 'all show and no go', then any Comet like what I just described here, might as well already be a ricer of sorts{or well on it's way to becoming one.}.
I have a '99{or possibly} Expedition. It may be a bit of a slouch,
sounds super clean

@MiracleMile90 Only ricers want to risk wrecking their cars at top speeds. These comets are too rare to play stupid on the roads.
