my 99 Z vs Foxbody 5.0
alright i have to share this with everybody.. sorry no video but i have a friend with an old 5.0 lx who has been talkin **** on LS1s for like a year now he has been sayin "I beat LS1 6 speeds all the time and they are weak" we have never had a chance to race.. finally shut his *** up today! he has a cobra intake, headers and exhaust, built 5 speed and some other **** i'm not sure (his daddy is a ford mechanic and built the whole car for him) my car is completely stock except K&N CAI
I just happened to see him on the highway today goin to work so i flagged him down and told him to put up or shut up (i had 1 200 pound passenger and he had none) so he pulls up next to me and just hammers it like an ******* mustang driver usually does.. i finally got him to let me honk it off he jumped me on the 2nd honk and of course i just blew by him like the wind he didn't even want to race again but i convinced him to.. 2nd run wasnt even a challenge i left him in dust lol sorry for the long story and no vids but i have been pumped about this all day! then he has the ***** to tell me my car isn't stock lol but i don't think he will be talkin **** on LS1s anymore

With gears and the right suspension/tires he might be able to crack off a 12.9... but the mph would still be low compared to your's, and you would still rape every roll race.

Well first off, we don't know exactly what is done to this particular car. What we do know is that a Mustang LX (notch or coupe) can run very hard from a dig with the right tire/suspension/gear setup. It doesn't take 300rwhp+ in a foxbody to run 12s like it does an F-body.

My fox has mild h/c/i and will barely keep up with the slowest of ls1s(stock auto) from a roll.
Good kill btw!

So far the new 5.0 is doin ok. Still not a great roll car...definitly not the comparison you described. I can remember beating up on a few old 5.0's back in the day with dad's 305 tpi IROC and a old 305 monza I had. King???? I would say not.
