it was recent and i couldnt find it, but some one i think mentioned the 4.6 96-98 verts are slower than the 94-95 vert 5.0s. just want to classify because my classmate loves mustangs, but thinks the 5.0 is a lousy engine and extremely slow

Similar power top end but the 5.0L is going to have significantly more low end performance. The 96-98 SOHC 4.6 is kind of like the '86 5.0 where even though the systems are almost identical, they needed a lot of work.

From a roll the 96-98 would likely inch infront. From a dig the 94/95 would get a decent lead.

my friends 14.7 integra was door to door with a 97 4.6 hardtop with gears, full exhuast, and a intake. from a roll and stop. it was embarrasing for stangs.

He's just mad because he knows the 5.0 is faster so he has to find a car that is faster than yours. Just tell him my grandpa's 69 El Camino will smoke his dad's Lincoln LS.
