oh yea, a couple pages back but ill still say it - "Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far the wall goes with you." or something like that, anyways...
my dads new DD, an 03 3.8L 5spd will totally kill my 84 5.0 aod. now ive never driven a 5 spd 5.0 but i dont think a 99+ gt would have a problem handing a 5.0 its @$$ on a silver platter
Yes they are capable...but given equal drivers...the 96-98gt will win...PACETTR said:84 5.0 = S-L-O-W
99+ V6 5-sp. very CAPABLE of beating 96-98 GT (I've done it)
The original ? was "stock for stock 5 speed who would win"
5.0
99+ SHOULD be faster than 5.0, but this is a better comparison than 91 5.0 vs. 96 4.6
As for all this "trap speed Blah Blah Blah"; trap speed does not win a race. A race winner is determined by the fastest TIME to get from point A to point B
THE END

NeVeRLiFt said:At the local Street Outlaw races in my area the Limited and Real street mustangs are all the proof I need that the fox bodies are fast as hell and run low times
Stop whoring your heavy overpriced newer stang and let the old fox have its respect
NeVeRLiFt said:Where I live I see them selling for $3 -5k with 75 - 130k miles on them and pretty much stock. Its actually harder around here to find a 82 - 86' stang thats nice and low priced than it is to find a 87 -93'.
I know where an 85' sits now all original with grey insides and black paint and the guy is the original owner. He asking alot for it thou
Go through the past 20 years of the stang and look at the various weights of them and tell me the trend you see. Check out the weight of the 03'/04' cobra especially and get back to me on that one.............Ray III said:I don't agree with that. Ford fixes the flimsy peice of trash that the 87-93 Mustang was built on, and all people can do is piss and moan about the extra 300lbs.
My car won't be good enough for me until it has about 500 pounds of chassis reinforcement.
Not to mention that the car actually stands a chance of getting around in the snow, when it weighs more than a cheese puff.
Agreed. Check out the weights of the Vette's. Better than a stock Mustang chassis on all counts, and several hundred pounds lighter to boot.87'GTstang said:Go through the past 20 years of the stang and look at the various weights of them and tell me the trend you see.

You can still build a solid car and make it lightweight. It mostly has to do with design of structure and choice of materials is what it boils down to.
I'm quite aware of that. Hp = torque X RPM / 5252Ray III said:Engines make torque REGARDLESS of speed.
Horsepower is a result of torque and engine speed. Without torque, there is NO horsepower.
