I't made the most horsepower of them all.
The newer 809's in the ck chassis were detuned somewhat for better trail manners; horsepower is down in exchange for a stronger midrange and longer motor life.[/b][/quote]
After having owned each and every model year Mach Z, I'm going to tell you that the '97 was not the fastest Z. the CK3s (except the '98) with the the narrower hood and better aeros will flat out spank the F-2000s, including the '97. Recent year dyno reports are showing 150+ HP. Pretty much on par with the XCR.
Just the facts man, just the facts.
