Default 84 Winsor 302 vs. 04 3.8L

Yeah guys! I have a 2004 V6 3.8 L Manual and I JUST purchased a 1984 5.0 L V8...

I have probably a stupid question but I am so curious. I looked up the stats and my 04 mustang should be getting something close to 190 HP - but the car I just got (the 1984 stang) says it should get like 165 HP. SO WHY IN THR HECK does the old 84 have so much kick and burns around my 04 every time??? HAHA -- I love this old car I just got and it seems to fast for a 165 HP car. Like I said I am not very knowledgeable and I would love someone to explain this phenomenon to me. Thanks!

Nate

The Foxes weigh less and the 5.0 has more torque. Plus if may have had some mods done since you say you just got it.

Gearing is also different.
