1987 Chrysler New Yorker 0-60 acceleration (part 2)

slow.. but not as slow. shaved my time from 14sec to 12sec with simple bolt on mods...

- fixed throttle pressure cable (out of adjustment)
- advance ignition timing 14 degrees (for better torque)
- NGK ZFR5N spark plugs

... thats it!

good lord. it must be absolutely terrifying to get on the freeway in this car.

[zacongpow]

lol, slightly terrifying, rather painstaking! My favorite thing to do is drag race dump trucks!

@tooturbugg22 dude your right i have no idea what i typed

i think i meant to say was,

ha you think thats bad? most cars do about that speed,

try to drive a real slow car ,

like a subaru loyale 0-60 in 20 some odd seconds

on ramp is easy ,

passing and merging in rush our traffic FUN

it really test your skills as a driver

cars stock in the 80s were slow, wish i could buy a 87 buick grand national gts, they were badass.

Waited for it to shit it's head gasket. It evidently decided not to co-operate.

@chickenhuntinattheca the 318s probally had less power then the 3.3s lol i got a 93 dynasty with a 3.3 150ish hp

[chickenhuntinattheca]

@mageac the 87 new yorkers usually had a dodge 318 in them Im a dodge kid lol what can i say

[mageac]

@Iwasbored76 the newer 3.3s have like 160 hp and 200-210 torque 0-60 is like 9ish seconds... while not fast it still is decent for the highway, its not exactly meant to be a performance car lol
