in a drag race between..

[4.6boy]

a 94 5.0 with shortie,h,flows and intake and a 02 gt with just intake and catback both auto cars which one should win the 50 or the 46

 

[98COBRA281]

i think it will be close, but id put money on the 4.6.....

 

[Mustang5L5]

4.6 in that race

 

[02nightmaregt]

+1 4.6

 

[Stark77]

4.6 FOR SURE - as long as the driver weighs a reasonable ammount

 

[SaleenGT2001]

4.6

 

[04YELLOWGT]

4.6...... 94-95 5.0s were extreamly slow.

 

[4.6boy]

we never went from a dead stop but from a roll i can never keep up with the 5.0 and from what i now the egine and rear are stock

4.6...... 94-95 5.0s were extreamly slow.

Uh i don't know man a buddy of mine had a 95 gt and that thing was faster than another friend of mines 98 gt. Actually i think they came stock for stock with more power.

 

[hotmustang331]

^Yea but stock 98 GTs arent very fast

 

[98COBRA281]

^Yea but stock 98 GTs arent very fast

especially when they have 2:73's too

I own a 95 GT (5 speed) with an offroad H & flows & its extremely slow....Your 4.6 will win...I think a 98 GT would most likely lose though....

 

[bt1288]

4.6 all the way.

Sorry bro....Actually to be quite honest, with your current mods, I think your car would win. When I was in Mexico, I raced a 97 Gt that had full exhaust & a few other mods & it beat my 95, but only on the top end....It was actually really funny because it was from a 55mph roll & it was the longest & slowest race I have ever been involved in LOL....

Its really pathetic how slow 94-95 GT's are, They feel like they have monster torque down low (compared to a 4.6), but once you hit 3000 rpms, they fall flat on there face. Its the exact same motor as the Fox body's, but Ford messed up by changing the computer system, & they car is alot heavier than a Fox, so its quite a bit slower....

If I'm not mistaken the 94-95s made 215 and the 96-98s made 225. I might be wrong though. I know a buddy of mine has one and when it was stock it went like high 14s-low15s if I remeber right. Now its built to the moon and back with a 101mm turbo ran like mid-low9s in it last year.

i raced a 5.0 fox from about 25-90mph and killed him with my current mods, hopefully the heads, cams, and LT's will wake her up a little

4.6 will walk it hard.

94-95 5.0 5 speed cars are a sweet ride, but the AODE cars are turds in the water.

I test drove one and I swear my Jeep would outrun it off the line.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I'm also guilty of picking on 94-95 5.0's. When i see one on the road, my eyes light up like it's christmas.

I would beat them in my Fox

I would beat them in my Lincoln Mark 8

And i beat them now in my PI GT.


Actually, i beat up on a lot of 5.0's in general. A LOT of the fox 5.0's still left on the road are 150K miles tired cars with exhaust only as mods. Not very hard ot beat them. Granted...there are also a lot of 5.0 foxes out there with engine work that would rape a 4.6L.

My own 5.0 AOD is faster than my 4.6L 5-spd....so i would never boldly come out and say that all 4.6's should beat all 5.0's.

94-95 225
96-97 215
98 225

Obviously, the 5.0 has killer tq #s down low and the 4.6 pulls top end.
