So, I pull up to a light that was red and wait about 1-2 seconds. The light turns green and I step on it, the mustang does the same. I have a loud ass exhaust but with the way I was accelerating, I could hear the supercharger screaming! I pulled on him to start out with and kept pulling all the way to about 80 and then he started to gain a little. We shut down at about 100, at that point I had about a 2-3 car lead. He pulls up next to me after we slowed down and told me that I caught him off gaurd and that we should race again at the next light. We didn't have an opportunity for a while so we kept trying to go slow to get a red light. We finally give up and he compliments me and says that I have a pretty fast car and gives me props for taking him. Can't wait to do more mods!!

Not surprised, stock for stock the SC is faster.Was it the SN95 5.0 or the foxbody 5.0?

mandk1229

It was the more boxier version, believe it would be the foxbody???? It was definetly moded. Had a few aftermarket gauges in it, exhaust and prob headers. could have had more but not too familiar with the mods on the older mustangs. Was very exciting to take one of these out!

wrong.. drivers race
stock fox can run 13s... have yet to see a coby do that.

i have an 88 GT 5.0 and '06ss/sc

stock vs stock.. the ET was identical and the trap speed was only .27 difference (5.0 infront)

BigBlue

Stock Foxes never ran 13's. Ever.

Acidangel_5.0

your retarded also then.

ive seen 13.8 ets on notch backs.. do some research

Blainestang

Was it common? No.

Did it happen? Yes.

donjuaniii

I think you just contradicted yourself?

Blainestang

How so?

He has an '88 GT and an SS/SC.

They ran the same ET and virtually the same trap.

Therefore, "Driver's Race".

Acidangel_5.0

ET = time
Trap = speed

both cars ran 14.7 stock at 94.xx mph

mustang = 14.7 @ 94.85 mph
06 ss/sc = 14.7 @ 94.58 mph

thanks god somebody can follow me.. i knew a mustang owner could

mandk1229

point is that nither one of us were stock, and I did beat him!! I also tried racing a dodge road runner from behind him. He pulled on me from the start a little but I definetly kept up and then started to gain on him.

CARLYLE

dude i beat a fox body 5.0 in my 2.2

Blainestang

He's not saying you didn't... he was simply commenting on the statement that "stock for stock, the SS/SC is faster."

And I beat an AMG E55 in the 1/8th mile in my stock V6 Mustang.

What's your point?

West Palm SRT4

Sorry, but it is a drivers race, as far as a real heads up dig race goes. A 302 Fox will get out nasty, but in stock form they can't trap for ****, and thats where the LSJ can take advantage of the race, IF he launches correctly and keeps up. I know an LSJ traps a few MPH more.

donjuaniii

wrong.. drivers race
stock fox can run 13s... have yet to see a coby do that. Yet his runs a 14.7 ... BIG difference !

i have an 88 GT 5.0 and '06ss/sc

stock vs stock.. the ET was identical and the trap speed was only .27 difference (5.0 infront)



I was referring to part of his statement that a stock Fox could run 13's and that no cobalt could...

Then stating that he had (both stock) a 88 Fox and a 06 Cobalt...and that they ran the same...

In other words, if a stock Fox can run 13s, why is the Cobalt not running the same?

And why is his stock Fox running a 14.7 (not mentioned in original post) if it's capable of running 13's...

Hence a CONTRADICTION in his original post...


No biggy but it was confusing...and I don'trecall ever seeing a stock Fox (even though plenty of potential) run 13s...

Blainestang

He made two seperate statements:

1) Foxbody Mustangs HAVE run 13's, stock (admittedly, this is/was quite rare), so it's not really true to say that "SS/SC's are faster" when they haven't run as fast of times.

2) HIS Fox 5.0 and HIS SS/SC ran the same times... therefore it likely a driver's race. Both cars are capable of faster times, sure, but they're pretty close.


I see what you're saying about the differences in time and contradiction, but I think the above explanation shows how it makes sense.

Again, this isn't to say that there aren't plenty of SLOW 5.0's, but even a stock one that's in good running order and has a decent driver should run with an SS/SC in the 1/4-mile.

donjuaniii

Well said.... Actually I'd like to have a Fox project car to work with, but my wife would go bonkers !!!

blk ss/sc 1

holy **** this thread is confusing

1BADSS/SC

Im gonna have to say a 5.0l would not run 13's without DR's, or something changed in/on the car. That just seems too far fetched for me. 5.0l's are good for high 14's stock. I dont see a stock one running a whole second faster, that just seems like bs to me.

Perfect.disguise

It is B/S hell a 93 Cobra is only rated a 14.5 bone stock. I would say a Foxbody GT was capable of a high 14 low 15 stock plus most on the road have old ***** now. Haha 13's...

BigBlue

Once again a STOCK Fox 5 liter has never run a 13 second 1/4.

13 second 1/4's are easy in a Fox, but no showroom stock ever did it.

Mid 14's to low 15's are more like it.

1BADSS/SC

well, its not so much that a 93 cobra is much faster, but the fact that a high 14 car can run 13's stock seems kinda off. I mean, I dont see a stock fox body even coming close to keeping up with my car, which is supposed to run mid 13's stock ( even though we all know it actually runs low 13's stock ).
