Hello folks. Just got my first Stang, a 1991 auto LX convertable. I have been into Datsuns for years and built a real healthy one, and had it for 8 years before finally totaling it. It was a 240z with 260 rwhp, and lower gear. At 2400lbs, it was fast little car.
I have always really liked the fox body stangs and a great deal came around so I jumped on it. I love the car, sounds great, handles well, and no top is so fresh. The thing I am curious about here, is that I expected the stock Stang to have more power. I can't tell if I am being over-optimistic, or may there be something wrong with the car. I installed NGK plugs, wires, rotor and cap and cleand the MAS. The question I have here is this, do these cars burn out from a stop? I dont mean power brake. I mean just letting off the brake and stomping on it. I had a 69 Camaro in the day with a 350 and extras. It was an auto and that thing would smoke the crap out of the tires. Totally different trannys too, the chevy turbo 3 and the ford.
The car pulls harder as the rpms climb, but should this 5.0 rip tracks being stock?
