90's cars are better than just about anything out now...
and, for the OP, the ford 4.0 V6 in the 05+ mustangs take the old 5.0's stock for stock. friend of mine with said 4.0 was clicking off 14.8-15.2 quarters.

and lastly, sub'd for awesome thread

I Just now noticed you asked about the 4.6 equipped poostan's as well. Race any and all you see with reckless abandon, as they are all slow.



And cliffdawg, the fek you talkin bout?

hmm new 5.0 motor in 89hatch...

ill add that to list of projects

that's quite the mix and match of cavy/sunbird parts. lol. body is in nicer shape than most of them around here though.

i'd drive it if it has the 3.1.


slowbro can you explain the fox body cobra to him? didn't they all look like gts?

IMO

fb cobra > gp gtp > stock 5.0 fb

Iirc the fox cobras weren't a whole lot of an improvment over the gt's

No it doesn't. Weren't the cobras 93's only? Where's poke he knows this stuff

I see what you did thar- That was not nice; Although the outcome should be funnai.

if foxbody is stock, it will have lil less horse then a gtp, but the same if not more torque, and they are WAY lighter. but he could just start spinning like mad off the line if he has **** tires, but so could you. stock for stock should be close IF he's stock
if he has a few mods and fatter tires with good tread left you dont stand a chance.
if its a 94-99 4.6l, would be close race if he knows how to that fat beast of a stang(they are HEAVY.)
2000-2004 4.6L should take you everytime.
2005-2010 4.6l should walk you everytime.
just gets worse from their. go race a 2011 3.7l v6 6spd manual mustang and youll get whoopin lols

93 was the first year of the SVT cobra line up, and aside from the 93 Cobra R, it was the only "foxbody" Cobra. For comparison...

93 GT= 205hp/275trq

93 Cobra= 245hp/280trq

I might be slightly off on those numbers, but that's what I seem to remember. The increase in power was due to gt40 heads, new intake manifold, respecified cam ect.

1/4 mile reports for these cars stock range from mid 14's to low 13's. I tend to think of them as a low 14 second car.

(94/95 where still 5.0's, which btw a gtp should walk away from these too)
if its a 96-98 4.6L you should win easily
(98 was the last year of the npi 2v GT's)
99-2004 4.6L (auto) close race gtp should take it though, (manual) although close, it's the GT's race to lose, but still a driver's race.
2005-2010 4.6l should walk you everytime.

Fixt.

Yez.

GT40 Heads, GT40 Intake...I also think they had revised exhaust mannys as well...since the 5.0 SN95 car had AWFUL pinched manifold designs at the start of the primary.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but if that's true, I just learned something new. I always just thought the only difference between the two was the mufflers they used.

I probably am though LOL

The SN95 Base GT used the lower profile Thunderturd intake... Not that a '93 Cobra would be either...
