While you do have a legitimate point, don't forget how fast LT1 F-bodies looked when compared to Fox GT's when they hit market in '93...
Oh no doubt, dark times for the mustang crew. Of course by that time the 5.0 had a large enough aftremarket following to contend with the new camaro. Stock for stock though, it was laughable. Not nearly as laughable as 1998 though....Jesus Christ that was sad.
