WOW....... your saying a 225 hp, 3400lb 94 mustang is running 12s bone stock. I guess us LS1 guys are missing out big time !!! Are u serious bud? Then you say your stock geared 95 with Full exhaust stays side by side with a 325hp Shelby GT !! Listen everyone loves the 5.0, but those things bone stock were slow man. Fun as hell to drive and modify, and after modifing they were a flat at blast !!! my buddy had a 89 hatch with a 347 in it....BAD BITCH !!!
I call alot of false statements on your glory of the 5.0 though. I had a 2000 GT minor mods , my buddy had a Nice Notch with full exhaust and some other things and I still pulled it. Maybe it was a drivers race.....which I would point to if you beat a Shelby GT in your 95. Sorry, no disrespect but comeon.
I owned the shelby GT and the 95. My old man, who's a seasoned drag racer since the 70's was driving. Stock worked over heads, intake, and camshaft can put you in the 12's. I'll even find the fellow thats done it, it's in a couple magazines and he's a member here in the 5.0 section. 90lxmustang I think, he's got a grey/black LX hatch. He can drive, thats all there is to it. You can say what you will about it being false, but there were atleast 500 people that saw that race, including numerous friends of mine, and they all knew the cars. Comparison between my car, as well as other factory 5.0s, I usually blow there doors off. My car has always been fast, much faster then it should have been coming out of a junkyard. Not glorifying myself here but in reality, gear, slicks, and the right suspension with a good driver, the 5.0's very capable, much more then many folk like to think. The E-web can deny it all they want but i've seen it, owned it, and drove it myself, and I know thats a fact.
