how are the speeds i listed 13 second speeds? 14.0 is not sub-14 second. and that is a 2002 GT with 260 HP, not a 10 year old 5.0 with 225. motor trend, or car and driver, or any other car magazine for that matter, don't baby the cars they test. they do repeated runs with a professional driver.</P>


also, drag slicks and 4.10 gears is not a stock car. a stock car is just that, stock. that means stock gears and street tires. in other words, the exact same condition as if you just drove it off the lot brand new.</P>


an average stock 5.0 runs mid-high 14 second 1/4 miles. this is with a competent driver. being an "aggressive" driver isn't going to knock half a second off your times.</P>

then how do you explain my buddies 5.0t5 273geard car running completely stock. on 225/60/16s?huh? and a 14 or 13 is the time. not the speed. i run a mid 14 in my truck stock motor. at93.54mph. and i said "STOCK MOTOR" with the other car. and dont forget that weight plays a big roll in it. a new edge stang weighs around 3500 a fox weighs in at around 3100. that is a difference of 4THs on the strip.if you dont believe me on the times i posted them in a differetn thread.

a 2002 mustang GT coupe weighs around 3,240 lbs, about 140 lbs. more than a fox body stang. 35 extra HP will make up for a 140 lb difference.</P>


are you talking about this thread: https://mustangforums.com/forum_post...=6203&amp;PN=1 because in it you post 14 different times for fox body stangs, the lowest of which is a 14.18 and the highest is a 15.7. so where are the 13 second cars? </P>


of course 13 seconds is possible in the quarter with a stock motor. you can make almost any car run 13 seconds with a stock motor depending on how much weight you want to strip out of the car. but who wants to drive around with no door panels, no stereo, no passenger seat, etc?</P>

im just stating facts. and you can have a full interior stang run that fast. stock motor.and you said that a 5.0 is a high 14s car and that showed that there is a few of them runing low 14s. and if you dont think that these cars can run in the 13s stock bring up a new edge stang and ill run him with a stock motor. full interior minus backseat. hell ill even spank it with my truck

ok, so you're saying you will put your car up against a new GT, all things being equal- same driver ability, both backseats out or whatever else you want to strip, everything? and you think you will beat it? i think you're high.

you just quoted a new gt as being slow. and i run with low 13 second cars. so yes.
and my car only has the rear seat missing. if you want to run another stock motor stang. my buddy in his t5 car will do it also. he ran a 14.2 at 98mph totally stock. with his 92. and like i said before i ate two gts already with the truck up at the zeliople airport at an event called flashlight drags. and not all drivers are the same. if you dont believe it then go look for a aggresive 5.0 driver to run a new edge car and watch that gt get eaten'd
