Let me see if I can find the post on Ls1.com where people were telling me foxes ran 12.9 out of the box. Quite a funny posting thread
If I still had a site id show you a video of me chasing two foxes "modded" down the street, slowing down, catching up, slowing down, catching up.... just toying with their emotions. They were 92' notches also.. the "fast" ones.

Spot him a few cars for some cash and then take his money. Foxes aren't known for their deadly stock potential but rather their love for mods. He's living in a dream world and you should bring him back to earth....after you take his money.

Yeah, you could take him by a longshot. Heck I walked all over my buddys fox body in my stock LT1 with K&N and 4.11s. His 1992 Mustang has a 302 with CAI, Bigger TB, Injectors, GT-40 Intake, GT-40 Heads, Streetable Cam (One of the Ford Racing ones, I can't remember which one, nothing too big), and a Ford Racing bottom end (stock, haha). He is also running a T-5 with I think a King Cobra Clutch with a B&M Short Throw Shifter. He too has 4.11s. Exhaust is Shorty headers with an X-pipe and dual Flowmaster 50 series. Hes got like $5000 in this car (what a waste!) They were talking so much crap and then one night they told me to take my car out so they could beat up on it, and boy were they surprised. They even switched drivers and still couldnt hang. BTW, this car probably doesnt run quite as good as it should, I think it needs a good tune, but thats just me. But when people talk smack and get beat, they shouldnt have excuses.
Bottomline: YOU WILL KILL THE MUSTANG!!!!!

As the Fox platform was in use upto 2004 calling it a Fox 5.0 doesn't narrow it down much. I mean some had as much as 134bhp STOCK.
However a latter one with a few mods and well dirven can be pretty quick. low 13's or even 12.9's are possible with bolt ons, so stop light to stop light could be close.
If it really is stock then it shouldn't even be a race, just a for gone conclusion.

Stock for Stock 0-50 will have you 2-3 cars ahead and after that you will kick the crap out of him. This is based on my 95 LT1 vs. my friends gears/CAI/Pully/Exhaust 5.0 5M and my 95 LT1 vs. a 99+ LS1 A4 w/ exhaust/tune. 0-50 you wont MURDER him, but the winner will be clear, as for 50+ HE would be an idiot for wasting the gas. BTW, not that anyone cares, and this is off topic, but im getting 20 mpg at 65-70 mph on the freeway with mods in sig. is that normal for a fox with my mods? (dont mean to hi-jack thread, just thought a few fox ppl. might actually look at this one...)

Fox Body ownwer You won't beat him bone stock thats for sure. I own a 93 z/ a4 ,and a 90 ford coupe. Best run with the coupe was 13.80 with the 373's and h pipe. The z with just a 58mm ran 13.53 . Had to add long tube headers pro m mass air sensor 65mm t/b and ran a 13.30 inthe coupe.Drag radials will help you out alot.

well here are the results......
yea it was bus lengths. i called him after u posted the thread and told him i would put 100 down if he was game. he didnt want to do money but he did race. now i have a 99 z28 and he has a 92 5.0 foxbody. mine is stock. he has exhaust, headers, intake, and other randon shyt. so anyways we got lined up and i told him to go when he felt like it and i would go. it was over at that point. i pulled away so hard he didnt know what happened. he was trying to say he didnt hook up and other shyt but i gave him a 1/2 a car head start. so thanks everyone for your help!
1 more quick question what cars do we need to watch out for in the ls1's ?

well the simple answer has to be 'anything faster'.
There really is no clear divide, plus as the trend is to mod a car there's plenty out there that can and will be quicker.

With todays technology ,its hard to say what will be fast and what wont..
Best bet is build it and hope its built enough..
