I need to find the timeslip of the 9.4 pass I ran in that 01 GT automatic, pulleys, filter, exhuast, I ran the fastest time of the night in it too.
You seem to be down on foxes pretty bad, you must be one of those people that thinks you gotta have something newer or people wont like you.
matt93notch said:we are working with aged motors/drivetrains and suspension. 87-93. compared to 99-up. the majority of foxbodys are in poor shape and need maintenance, even the ones that go to the track. kinda hard to compare averages on a car thats from a different generation when one car has 20k miles on it and the fox has 150k
Speeds8erM-1 said:It wasnt personal, just the impression I get from someone so down on a fox while having formerly owned a 00 GT.
5spd GT said:Again, compare them to a similar weighted 94/95 5.0L. Then we will do bolt-on for bolt-on. I know our 98 gt isn't going to loose at full weight
You keep trying to spin off your stories and strecth them to get your desired length, kind of like a fishing story of the coast of Florida
You really must have bad weather when these guys race or bad drivers, I assume the later...because those cars aren't pulling those slower of mph's down here.

The 98 gt got a bump in power over the 96-97's. When I had my 94 bone stock (I pulled the air silencer on mine) and a diff. buddy than the 00gt and 87gt had a 98gt. We ran = to one another. The winner was the one who didnt mess up otherwise it was DEAD even and that DEAD even happend ALOT. We got our mods done in the same order at almost the same time. With every mod the one who had the mod first won. But when mods were equal we were back to running the same times again.
the 98 ran a 14.2 with pulles, 3.73's, catback, shifter, CAI.
My 94 ran a 14.3 with pullies, 3.73's, catback, shifter, K&N. At the same time and reaction time was alittle diff. and I beat him by a fender on these times.
MHO, its a hobby...dont loose sight and stop having fun. enjoying people who have the same hobby and likes as you is hard enough to find.

Well i find it pretty bad that that all the high tech the newer stang should have can barley beat a old tech..i just think 4.6. just isent a good engine
Well this is my view..the newer 4.6 Might be able to beat the fox..but thats all up to the driver...but thats not why i think the fox body is a better car....fox body has mods up the yin drag auto cross road course its just a car with alot to play with and is lighter and has the low end torque with all the goodies the fox has the 4.6's is a waste of time if it wasent for a supercharger 4.6 would have no future.... and i think its high tech 4.6 was a wast of time for ford and has very little potentual....its rare that ive sean a 4.6 ( NO SC)beat anybody cause in reality i never seem them run what they claim. on the track ive seen 14.4 to 15.4's once and a while maybe a 14.2 but none of those was automatic...the automatics suck bad and if u was to race him on a lets say 20 mph role his probably wont down shift the way it should...Get a Fox and live a better life lol....

matt93notch said:all i know is i would be pissed if i owned a 03 gt with bolts on, when a 93 5.0 with bolt ons runs almost identical times and side by side in races!!!!
