So here it is, what are all of your 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times, now with all your mods, and when you were stock. Sorry, I've been cathing a lot of crap in the sixer forum about 5.0L being dogs, and it's really getting on my nerves, yea I know, just ignore it, but a lot of those guys are my buddies, as I'm an x sixer owner, but the crap is really getting on my nerves, so I just some post to prove them wrong and that the sn197 V6 poses very little threat to a decent driver in a 5.0 manual. Thanks.
ME 0-60............ 5.7s BEST TIME
1/4............. NA, never ran it in full, but I've come pretty close with a speed of 90 mph and I still had 1/2 of a tenth of a mile left to go, not sure on the time though, oh and I royally screwed up my 1rst to second and totally screwed up my 2nd to 3rd gear shifts.

 

havent run 1/4 yet and i never timed my 0-60 but i am going to the track in a couple weeks here after i install my headers and edelbrock intake, so i guess i may have to drag this post up after that.

 

First let me say "Praise the Lord" "You Have Seen The Light" You finally wised up and got a REAL Mustang, and welcome to the 5.0 section. I never really under stood why anyone would want to buy a six or four banger Mustang in the first place, with the exception of a SVO maybe (theres always an exception to the rule). And dont worry about 0-60 & 1/4 times between the two to much. Bottom line is they are going to get thier asses handed to them just about every time. And they too will wake up and see the light as you have. Some stock 5.0s are a little unworthy of them selfs and need a few little upgrades, but they respone very well the little mods here and there. The sound and feel of torque from the V8 is what makes all the difference in the world. And you have a much bigger range of options on how to mod you car in the future. Ive smoked so many six banger mustangs that I cant keep count anymore, and my 88 GT motor is still basicly stock. Let them talk their trash, and all the while you will be smoken their ***.

 

*86 5.0L wonders into the sixer section.......

 

12.2 @ 112 in 1/4 (old time)

7.53 @ ??? in 1/8th with a 1.65, 60'.

 

local guy here runs a mostly stock GT hatch: 13.82 not sure what the mph is though

 

RSW007 runs 12's with a completely stock motor, big stall, sticky tires, and lots suspension and tranny work (AOD).

 

I wouldnt even bother with them. Now I could understand if they are driving C6's and calling 5.0's "dogs" but a 6 banger?!? Dude, I wouldnt even waste my time talking to them. They are all jealous!

 

How are you measureing the 0-60? and please don't say GTech, those are not accurite.

 

^^ YES THEY ARE!!! My G-Tech said I ran a 15.2 w/ a 93 5.0 automatic w/ bumped timing. Sound about right? It also told me I had 87 horsepower [&:]
