Hey were the 94-95 5.0's faster then the 96-98 4.6's?

96_4.6 · 05-13-2003, 04:33 PM

I never really did any research yet but were the 94-95 5.0's faster or slower stock to stock against the 96-98 4.6's being they were all 215hp expect the 98 with 225? Thanks

I think the 5.0s had the edge due to their torque...

95mustanggt · 05-13-2003, 08:02 PM

I think the 5.0L's are faster. But there are several factors to that.

1. The 5.0L's are easier to modify, i.e. advance timing (and therefore most 5.0L might have a few HP more)

2. The power band on the 5.0L is broader and had more low end torque (therefore if anything they FEEL faster)

3. I think at the end of the day a stock 5.0L was putting out more than a stock 4.6L, but that is just my opinion.

stock for stock the 5.0 has a slight edge. But once the modding starts, it's all 5.0

96cobraman · 05-13-2003, 09:48 PM

the 4.6 hands down. i have one of each.

hobgoblin351 · 05-13-2003, 09:57 PM

Right out of the box, for those years probably the 5.0's. Even modded ,back then the 4.6's didn't have a whole lot to bolt up, so the 5.0's. But now the 4.6's are up to speed so it depends on how much $$$$$$ ya got

jj_jonathon · 05-13-2003, 11:16 PM

if i recall, theres a huge power difference between the 96 and 98...i always considered the 98GTs to be the fastest of the sn95s...

RBatson · 05-14-2003, 12:00 AM

The 5.0 stangs were faster than the 4.6 sohc until 99.
The 99+ stangs are faster than the stock 5.0s and run with the 96-98 cobras.

Maybe a 99+, not a 96-98.

From what I have seen.

94-95 14.8 @93
96-98 15.3 @90
99-03 14.5 @97

96cobraman · 05-14-2003, 06:19 PM

both my GT's run good and are bone stock. the 4.6 walks the 5.0 every time. doesn't matter who's driving. this is all i have to go by. ps. the 98 gt has 260 hp.

First off, NO the 98 GT has 225. It was the 99 GT that got the bump to 260hp

I dunno where you got the idea that the 4.6 is faster. Your name suggests that you have a 96 Cobra. True the DOHC 4.6 is faster, but we're talking about the SOHC.

1) the 5.0 is lighter
2) the 4.6's powerband sucks ***

The 5.0 is faster stock and is MOSTLY DEFINATLY faster modded

96cobraman · 05-14-2003, 06:59 PM

yes i know we're talking about the sohc. and yes i do own a 96 cobra. i have 5 mustangs. like i said before. this all i have to go by.

95mustanggt · 05-15-2003, 05:43 AM

Of course all cars are different, so yes, some 96-98 GT's might be faster than some 94-95 GT's. But I think IN GENERAL, the 94-95 GT's are faster.

And I agree with tireburner, no 98 GT came with 260HP, you had to wait 1 more year for that
