13's with simple bolt ons..some say no and I say yeah
Ok...I just recently read a post on here saying a 5.0 mustang can't break 13's with simple bolt ons without suspension mods and slicks. That just blew my mind!!
I guess a lot of people on here don't get to the strip very often.
So, anyhow, can some of you guys that know what you are talking about, like myself, clear this up?
I'm sure ROUNDMAN can tell you different.

Noob is trying to teach all the oldies here alittle something eh... Sorry, but it's going to take more than headers & a x-pipe and CAI, TB & mufflers to break a Fox into 13's without slicks or suspension mods.

btw i believe roundy has some what you would call bolt ons and runs 13's with badass suspension and slicks, so without them he would be significantly slower, so i really think that you're just arguing to argue here.

You guys obviously don't belong to any other message boards or read any mustang mags to cross reference your false claims.
I also have a bone stock 88GT that I took the track once and ran a 14.8 at 94mph. You mean to tell me I couldn't hit 13's with gears, exhaust and pullies...and if not then I'm sure an LX could

To some people, nitrous is a bolt on, so it really depends on your definition of the word. Im sure you COULD get the Foxbody into the 13s with bolt ons, but if you want consistent 13 sec ETs, then i would go ahead and work on the suspension anyways.

No..I don't mean nitrous either. I'm talking N/A engines
There is no reason why a 5.0 GT or LX can't run 13's with gears, exhaust, pullies and timing bumped up to at least 14* without slicks

K, I already predicted one thread on these boards would turn into a 7 page debate-athon and I was right, so I'm going to make my wager now and say this will be a 7 page thread too.
A LX on a diet with those mods & slicks/radials can break 13's. Without stick tires and a hard launch, you aren't going to see 13's. You simply will not pick up all the MPH you need to get into the 13's without great tires with those bolt-ons.
