I'm pretty sure we would know if that was the case, I think he would have let us know. I would like to see one is real life. I still believe that an SD notch car would be the fastest fox body.

I dont know guys, the foxes were all the same except for the 93's. The 93's had 20 less HP on paper than previous models. I can try to find the article on it if you need me too, but again, that was on paper and I cant speak for sure as I have never been in a fox newer than 90.

With the '93's Ford was just being a little more honest in their HP ratings, no changes other than the pistons(no longer forged) and a computer resetting. Compression, cam, heads/intake/exhaust all the same. Considering GM came out in '93 with the LT-1 Z/28, you'd think Ford would've stood pat....meaning '93 Cobra would've been rated at 255hp(closer to the truth) than 235hp, which on paper is only 10 more than '87-'92 5.0Ls yet the car was at least a 1/2 to 3/4 of a second faster not only to 60, but the 1/4 mile than '87-'92 5.0Ls.

I have also heard that stock for stock the 86's were about the fastest except for the 93 cobra in the fox bodies. Don't know for a fact though. I know that mine feels pretty strong for a stock car.
That may be true...I've heard that they had a stronger low end, even though they make less torque on paper. Also, on paper, the 89-93 foxes are the same. The 87 and 88s had S/D fuel management, and a slightly different camshaft than the later foxes--except for the Cali 88s, which had MAF and that slightly different camshaft.
I believe this to be true also. stock for stock the SD cars have felt stronger IMO, and I have owned two of them. A 87 GT and the 88gt that I have now. And I do remember in a very early issue of MM&FF they had a black 87 notch with just basic bolt ons running in the 11s.

Ohhh the 90-93 are heavier (the airbag ehhh...) and yes your friend maybe right about the 88 being faster, but the 87 would be equal because i have heard stock stangs with SD were slightly faster. I love my 87 Notch for it's power, and 90gt for its looks.
