I'd heard that before, but didn't really know for sure.. Though I could've sworn 94-98 gt's had more power than that.. maybe it's the 94-98 cobra i was thinking of.. [&o]Never actually owned a mustang before the mach I have now.. Previous two cars were a Jeep and a 95 lincoln mark VIII.. lol
the 96-98 cobras may have been what you were thinking, they are in the 260rwhp range stock, or atleast somewhere close to that

More than likely.. though considering I've been up for 26hrs at this point I'm surprised I remembered even that much.. lol

i know its got the 5.7tpi and yeah its rated to 240hp.
i have no idea how good it runs, he just bought the car.
im hoping i can take him but i dont care if i lose.
since ive got another 200hp coming my way when my motor gets here
i just hope my friend can take him, if he hooks up anyways.

everyone says 94-98's are slow but they've got the same motor as the fox's just a couple extra pounds.
well i dunno, hopefully i beat him. if not ill just race him again in a month when my strokers in.
actually 95 was the last year of the fox motor
96+ have the NPI 4.6
cant belive no one caught this one

The 87 Fox with the 4.10s stands the best chance. Believe it or not, that 87 issupposed to be good for a 14.50 stock according to http://www.albeedigital.com . Yes, I had to look it up.[8D] Of course age, and wear and tear play a big part. The 95 5.0 and the 91 Firebird are close/evenly matchedin the 1/4. With the age of the cars, I'd say its going to come down to who has the better maintained car.

Tossup between the three of them with a slight edge to the 4.10 87.

Stock cars only:
I believe a 5.7L TPI A4 Formula will take a 5.0L A4 SN95.
The Foxes with the M5are faster than the 5.7L but not by a huge margin.

With your mods? Can you run with a stock Manual 5spd Fox?
