Default How slow are the 96-98 4.6 than the 99-04 4.6?

I was wondering because wheni first got my 02 gt i raced a 98 gt with full exhaust and i beat him pretty bad. At the time i was stock. so i was wondering if he was a bad driver or are those models slower...

depends on the mileage my buddy raced me when I was bone stock and I raped him but his 97 had seen better days it had 200,000 miles on it.

stock 96-98 apparently run something like high 14's, while the 99+ run low 14's from all of the qt mile time threads i've seen around here.

With most people driving 99+ run mid 14's and most people run low 15's in 96-98.

215hp(225 for 98) vs. 260hp. 45hp is a pretty big difference. Not only that but as bad as our cars respond to bolt ons, they are even worst.

My 96 auto ran 15.6 stock and now it runs 13.2. They just need some love.
