What LT1 non-sense? I did 13.6 @ 102 with a flowmaster muffler and LCAs... sounds like pretty quick non-sense to me

What "LT1 nonsense" are ya speaking of?

The fact of the matter is, that the 96Z28 was and remains faster than any NA Mustang produced throughout the 00s. I know that because I owned and still own, a 96Z and raced every NA variation of Mustang and didn't just beat them... I destroyed them. They were not even remotely competitive.

Now the 97z was faster than the 96. The 98 faster than the 97 and so on. Ergo, the Mustang did NOT own the Camaro in the 00s.

The simple fact is that the Camaro is superior machine to the Mustang.

Once I rebuilt her, cammed up, geared up and finished out the balance of the bolt-ons, the stock blown Mustangs didn't do much better.

So, WTH are ya talkin' about?
So in 9 years your mighty K&N equipped LT1 didn't lose once to any Mustang?

Nice wing btw...

Actually the 2v 4.6's were faster than the 5.0 in the sn95 cars. The 5.0's started falling off in the fox's about 1990. The cars picked up a little weight and light weight was the only thing really goin for those cars.

Yea, the 99-04 4.6 was faster, but the 96-98 4.6 was a good race for a 10 speed going downhill. The 99-04 4.6 could pull on the bike though.

Where did the 90+ fox get more weight from?

No extra weight on the outside unless you count the GT ground effects but they were the same from 87-93.

They tried to make the fox not such a tin can from 90 on. They also picked up a airbag.

even the 96-98 2v's were rated at more power than the 5.0 was. The only good part about the sn95 5.0 cars were at least they had a little potential.

I have not seen any differences except for the airbag in 90 and the Pony wheels in 91. I have owned a few over the years. The old 5.0 and the 96 4.6 were both rated at the same hp. You are correct on the 5.0. They still have a ton more potential than a 2v, lol.

Well that's odd... Most mustang guys don't care for that 'wing', when they first see it. But over time, because they see it so much pf it... It grows on on 'em and they come to love it. I think the experts call it the Stockholm Syndrome.

Now except for the occassional bracket racers down at the track, that car still hasn't been beat by a Mustang.

But I've only raced a couple of hundred examples in that time...

But in my defense, I have kept up with the times with proper maintenance, and installed a modest modification here and there where it was believed to be necessary to keep up with the fast cars. Not that that's relevant here... But it wouldn't be fair to not mention it.

200+ races and not one loss. Where are you located? I have an old worn out Mustang that I will line up with you. It's a 5.0 with an od auto, how fast can it be?
