Default foxbody 5.0's and sn-95 5'0....

Well if you were to line up say an 88 gt and a 95 gt both 5.0's ofcourse... Who would win in the 1/4 mile race.. Both cars completely stock...With perfect drivers in both cars.. Looking to sell my 89lx and go into a 94-95 gt....Just want to know if theres any differences.... Longer gears in the sn95's? Differences please... Besides the sn95's weighing more....

As far as performance engine is the same, just the sn95 weighs a couple hundred pounds more. I would say a foxbody gt versus an sn95 gt, the fox would win by like 2 car lengths or around there. If it its an lx notchback versus a sn95 gt probably a little more but not like a huge difference. SN95 they also made the frame stronger, and the car handles better. Also the sn95 has front and rear disk versus just front.

a completely low end LX 5.0 weighs about 3025 lbs, a full trim Cobra weighs 3365, so at the very most, there is a 325lb difference

I would say that a good exhaust system, bumped timing, K&N air filter and MAYBE a larger (65mm) tb would even them up.

I'd still take a slow SN-95 over an ugly fox any day
