92 vs 93
i have a 93 gt, as most know the 93s have only 205 hp vs 225 for the 87-92s. i just want to know what ford did to the 93s for the difference in hp. everywhere i look and read, no one has an answer.

RE: 92 vs 93
To be honest i dont think anyone for sure but i have a good guess. The motors are the same except pistons and i think it the change the way ford rated HP. I could be wrong. Cause i was always told they underrated that year for insurance or something.

RE: 92 vs 93
the horsepower is lower because of they way they used to rate the motors. during the years 87-92 the motors were tested without smog pumps, alternators, fans, and power steering. all these accesories took away power when they added them on to the dyno in 93 and so ford ended up with a lower rating.

RE: 92 vs 93
Yeah the 1/4 times suffered but they are still fun to drive stock. The pistons werent the only difference, the cam was a little different too.. But the car made the same HP/TQ, just says differently.. Check out www.mustanggt.org It is a good site for the rundown of our FOX's...
