ummm well my Z broke and im looking at some stangs latley. can any one tell me what year is the best and fastest. im looked at a 98 gt rag top i kinda liked it but it was all stock so i was wondering how fast they are and what problems they have thanks

98LS1

What year Z did you have? If it was 93+ the only year ones stock that could compare to the Z's performance are the 99+GT's. Anything prior to that in anywhere near stock trim is going to be a downgrade in performance.

I 2nd that. 99-04 are the years to get if you want a stang, well atleat until the 05s come out!

If you want the fastest, don't get a '98, unless you have about $1,300 to do a head and intake swap as soon as you get it. Stock it will run mid 15's. Look for a '99+ GT because they have improved heads and intake from the factory and make about 45 horsepower more stock than '96-'98 GT's.

The main problem you will have to worry about is the intake manifold cracking at the water crossover, which is a VERY common flaw on those cars, It requires replacing the intake with a later model intake with an aluminum water crossover, but with a PI head and intake swap you can kill 2 birds with one stone. More power and a solid intake. Other than that, nothing major. I have a '96 which is almost identical to a '98 and have had no problems except the A/C quit on me recently, so I need to get that diagnosed...

it was a 84 so yeah just about anything is better. i was just talking to my friend that has a 91 lx 5.0 he told me that 96 are faster. what about that one mustang that has that boss 302?? are those fast? i wanna beat my friend bad. his cars isnt stocki think his name on here is 91mustanglx im not shure but his car is fast.

How much do you wanna spend and how fast you wanna go? The only thing with 5.0s is your gonna buy a car thats a decade old. Why not another fbody?

yeah get a 98 F body. you will wax some *** then.

dont bother with anything less than a 99 stang.
even my stang isint fast enough for me. and i have a 04 with mods.
if you only got the cash for a 90s model get af body.

I agree.. If speed you seek just get a 98 Z28 to 2002... Game over!! 99Plus GT =14.0 Typical driver fellas..!! 98Z28 = 13.2! So go find a LS1 if your looking for speed right now. But if you want style and speed get the newer GTs. Ive seen people get better times from both just giving you average joe schmoe times i have seen at the track.
