98S HAVE 210-220 I THOUGHT, IM AN AUTO, WE RACED FROM A DIG LIKE 10XS, AND 20 AND 40ROLLS , I PUT 2 CARS ON HIM EVERYTIME
ORIGINAL: XtacY

I'm curious, how is the 4.0 v6 faster than the 96-98 GT? As far as I'm aware those GTs have 235 horsepower stock versus our 210.

The 5.0s only had 225 Horsepower? I thought they had around 275. Eek.

When you went froma roll, do you get a slight delay when you punch it? I ran my freinds 2002v6 the other day, we have the same mods, but his is maual and mine is auto. At a 20mph roll he jumped almost a car length on me and then i started pulling him in before we ran out of room.

How come the last 5.0 (94' 95') only had 215? You would think that it would increase as they progressed.

The 90-91 Fox 5.0/ GT were only like 2800 lbs though, 500 odd lbs less then a comparable 05-06 manual v6.

215/290+2800 lbs > 210/240+3337 lbs

In 92-93 though they ballooned to 3000 lbs or so, and the engine was down to 205/275. No idea why, just going by what's listed.
