Beating up on a 94-98 GT
I was on my way to work two weeks ago and I pulled up behind this Mustang GT with the 94-98 body style and I wasn't thinking to much about it until I heard the squeeling of his tires and I was decided not to race so we kept going he was hauling *** and I caught up to him at the next light and he was turning left (where I was going) so I pulled in behind him once again and we turned left on to this open highway and as expected he once again floors it so I decided had enough of this so I let him get 4 cars on me then I gunned it. I pulled past him at about 95 mph and then got in front of him to let him know it was over. I finally let off at 110 but the whole race was over pretty quick.
I think it had headers, cam, and exhaust.
He stayed behind me the rest of the night

I raced a 96GT once, I put it to the floor from a dig an spun, and spun, and spun...stayed with him ROASTING the tires...caught second and it LITERALLY looked like he hit the brakes.
Yes he was racing cuz it was a buddy. He has a 04 Cobra now.

To each his own... I like the SN95 bodystyle once you do a few choice mods like a nice set of wheels and a 2" drop. Especially the Cobras . Good and expected kill OP, but how do you know it was cammed?

Sounded like it. The timing was definitely not stock. My Friend owns a 97 Mustang GT with just exhaust and I know what the timing of these cars are. It was a mild cam at best, maybe no better than a 500 lift but it was definitely there

Could of just had a damn vacuum leak and sounded like it was lopin'.
My second car was a '95 Mustang GT. I miss the hell out of that car, even with my LS1. I beat the hell out of it on a daily basis and it never skipped a beat. I've got a rebuild planned for ol' White Trash. I'm thinking '95 Cobra R clone with Jongbloed rolling stock and a carb'd 351W.
Good kill though. Alot of fellows get cocky before they really have anything to run with. Those old SN-95's are awesome starting points, especially the pushroders.

if i had one in that body style it'd have to be a 94 5.0 and i'd spray the Fu(K out of it
on a side note....I know the 5.0 came with forged internals some years, did it come with them in 94?

I dont particually mind them, almost bought one (6 cylinder) until I found that a formula LS1 that was withing my DD driver budget
I cant stand the fox bodies (82-93?) though, way too much like a normal passenger coupe. Nothing sporty about it. Growing up loving mustangs I didnt even know that these were anything but normal passenger cars till my friend bought one and I was like "thats a sports car? thats a mustang?!"
BTW no it wasnt the Fox body that soured me on mustangs, it was getting to ride in my dad's 94 Formula and was like this is awesome then I rode in my aunt's 94 GT and I was like this is gay! Been a GM man even since.
Plus having a honda in displacement over those gay 4.6s pushed me even further toward the light. No replacement for displacement

haha, I don't mind foxes done right
I really like the 99-04 style though, they look like a stealth bomber
the sn95 are just too rounded off and girly looking for me, I have seen 2-3 that looked ok, but doing up a 99up the same way would still look a million times better
*shrugs*

Says the guy that thinks a 99-04 GT with the factory hood scoop doesn't just look mean but is mean.
