Default 94-95 5.0 Slow?

I was kinda in the market fo a 94-95 stang 5.0 when I was told that those particular years were really slow. I like the power you can get out of a 5.0 enginge but I like the newer looking body style but don't want anything that is gonna be "slow". So if anyone can help me out that'd be great give me some information.

Depends on if you consider a couple tenths of a second a big difference or not.
I think they are a little heavier, but I think they really are sexy looking Mustangs.
The 94 GT's have a really nice interior and superb bucket seats... hugs you in real nicely.
I love the Mach 460 speaker system...even after 10 years they sound great!
You want more HP, just add boost! You'll feel some HP then.
It's a cool model to have and was Motor Trends Car of the Year in 1994.

Great cars. Does take some money to make them fast just like you would have to do with the newer mustang's (not including 03cobra)
94-95's Very very easy to mod.

I believe the 94-95 5.0 does the 1/4 mile in 15.1 seconds.

i have two 95s a GT and Cobra, they aint slow, tires will break loose in 3rd gear no problem its realitivly stock with the common bolt ons. ive owned 23 mustangs to date, and these i loved the most and have kept the longest. they get up past 100 in no time in 4th gear no where near redline and keeps pulling. The torque is what moves the car and with close to 300 stock it does just fine. the only draw back i could see is the rear end gear. most are 2.73 you couldve ordered a 3.08. but regardless i put in 3.73s and that took care of any lack at the bottom end.the new modulars are running 3.55 in the stock cobras and 3.08 or 3.27s in the GTs? So i can see why some people who own the newer modulars could say that 94 95 are a hair bit slower stock than thier modulars stock.

I can say too that my 95s are slow, when compairing them to my 03 cobra thats dumping out 461 hp, but something like that you cant compair.

Its all about personal preferance. I love the 95s
but i very very rarely see 94 -95 GTs black on black with the 17inchers and that are 5 speeds i was at two stang shows this last week and i didnt see one duplicate of my 95s, ive seen many of the same 96- 98s but here where i am 94-95 are very rare.
