Also Dub in the 86 article they have the 86 running 14.7 @ 92 mph. And im assuming the other mustang is a 90 or 91 but it ran 14.8 @96 mph so 4 mph isnt a faster car? Im not getting how that 86 would be faster? e.t.s doesnt mean a car is faster, do you know what trap speeds are? Example i have motor trend article of a Cobra 03 getting beat by a WRX/Sti .. Pretty sure its motor trend i need to look again, BUT the Cobra was beaten by e.t. NOT by MPH . And we all know the Cobra is way faster .

Dude...what do you think i am....stupid or something? I KNOW the difference . You need to step down off that high horse your riding, because LX 5.0's are indeed slower..most only trap around 92 as well. If they were indeed running low 14's as you claim...Then ford wouldn't have came out with the cobra in 93, to face the LT1 Z28 which ran 14 flat.

This LX 5.0 ran 15.3@92 mph...

Wow settle down !!! Im sorry but thats the info YOU provided so relax , read your own crap!! Doesnt say 92 mph in ur other links.. Neither of the 86 or 91 ran that slow. My high horse? Hmmm your not being very nice. I just used your magazine racing. In the real world most LX and Stock ran low 15s to mid 14s cause if they dont i guess I really never ran 14.6 @ 98 mph .. with my stock GT.. hmm go figure. Maybe i got a special edition. Isnt the verts some of the slower GTs? [sm=sigh.gif]

5.0 is indeed lighter. The 2k has more technology in it. More efficient.

More importantly, isn't the '88 lighter? Or do I have it backward?

Anyway, when you compare two vehicles with twelve years between them, and the difference is not so noticable, you know there's a problem...

I vote for the '88 because I love the 302cid V8. :-)
