I had the mullet,the CAMARO(again briefly),and I couldn't grow the 'stache(graduated h.s in '89 to young lol). Bought a brand new 90 CAMARO rs that lasted 4 months and then bought my first 89' Mustang LX 5.0-5speed used with 15000 miles on it. The rest was history(except another brief run with a 01 CAMARO SS-I hated the 96-00 mustangs)I remember those days! Had the hat, the mustache, the mullet, and the Camaro. Well briefly on the Camaro. LOL
It was slooooow! I'm proud to say that I was there when the 5.0 craze started.
Yeah I'm old.
My 01 ran 13.5 right off the showroom floor. Stock mustangs couldn't touch that. Borrowed some sticky tires and the car actually made a 13.00's pass(multiple 13.10's) I actually really liked that car. Got rid of it when I got divorced and got back into foxes(literally and figuratively lol)Way cool. Did you see this one? It's more my generation. Oh and as for the "as tested" price for these I don't remember seeing em that cheap on the showroom floor.

WTF? 'dick broom' ?I would also like to add that I was very young at that time, and don't have to admit to having an embarrassing dick broom.

Do I even want to know?
My stock 85 went 14.5 off the showroom floor. Threw some donut spares on the front, ran a short belt. iced the intake, bumped the timing, removed everything from the back- tire. jack. etc., played with launch rpm and got it down to 13.82 within a month. In 87, my 87 vert went 15.2 with 150 miles on it. Removed the air silencer and did most of the things that later made it to Bob Cosby's list and got it down to mid 14's before I started with bolt on's. Back then there was no aftermarket for these cars and Ford was the only place to get very limited speed parts. There wasn't even an aftermarket cam, intake, or headers developed yet. We opened up the stock TB and intake. Guys were ripping off their EFI because running carbs were faster and no one knew how to tune them yet. About the only thing you could do was gears, cat back exhaust, a "ram air" from March, and a set of slicks for a year or two. Getting one of these cars into the 12's made you the fastest guy on the block.
