In the 5.0 forum? Yes.
QuickCapri83 said:I've owned enough 5.0's to know that a 99+ will beat a 5.0. The 99+ just has alot more pull above 3k rpm than the other 4.6's and the 5.0's also. Considering equal driver, perfect conditions, both 5 spds, brand new off the show room floor, 99+ takes it in my experience.
A notchback would put up the best numbers, but the 99+ just run pretty good for a tiny 2V.
My 99 Limited is defonantly quicker than the 4 5.0's i've had. No bias either, I love the 5.0 as much as anyone.

It feels faster b/c the 5.0 torque curve starts very low [peak torque for the 4.6 is 3500rpm], just taking it for a drive it feels fast but if you run it through the gears you'll notice that it really doesn't go as good as the first impression would make you think.BurningRubber said:Cause GT's were the heaviest Fox's, most of them ran a 14.8-15 flat stock with a 5 speed, and mid 15's or worse auto.
An LX coupe like squares is talking about is a ton lighter.
Ive driven one and it feels faster than my GT.
BurningRubber said:A stock LX coupe with a 5 speed is capable of high 13's. Most stock 99+ GT's seem like they are 14-14.4 or so. Mine went 9 flat in the 1/8th, so comparitivley to what BooWFO is saying, the notch is 2 10ths quicker than I in the 1/8th mile.

When my old 92 GT was bone stock N/A a 99+ GT with the PI cylinder headsCanadaStang said:Nope, given equal drivers the 99' up GT will walk all over a 5.0
I've had a few 5.0 LX's [still own a 91' LX] at the same time as I've owned my 98' GT. The stock 5spd 5.0 will just edge out the stock 98' in the 1/4, 14.89 vs 14.91. The 5.0 GT's usually run very high 14's-low 15's.
BurningRubber said:A LX coupe could take a 99+ GT... the LX hatch and GT are less likely, especially the heavier GT.
