smallest, yes.
Slowest... maybe
What about the old 200 inline? I bet a 5sp 2.3 could beat it.

The 200 is the inline six that was in the classic Stangs. I've seen those run 23 second quarters, so yeah, we could beat them.

I had a 200 six in my old 66, and sadly it would easily beat my 88 LX 2.3.

What about the old 3.3L I-6 that they put in some of the early-mid 80's Mustangs? I heard that thing was dog slow too.

3.3L works out to about 200ci, which is the motor we're talking about.
