I need some backup. To shut my friend up
Ok here is what I have:
98 mustang GT 5spd mods: Magnaflow exhaust My buddy keeps telling me that the car only has 215 horse stock. I have the dang brochure from Ford right beside me and it says 225 horse. Then he starts saying that my car will be lucky if it breaks into 15s the first time I have it out. Its not like I don't know how to drive. I put a 105hp S-10 17.6 et. So that takes some sort of talent. But 16 flat in a car that has 120 more hp just 1.6 seconds faster I find that really hard to believe. give me some facts to shut my buddy up Thanks Light em up hehe |

Yes, Try Me, he does have 225hp at the crank. The 96-97 were rated at 215hp, the 98 rated at 225hp. And yes, you should be in the low 15's to high 14's if you can drive.

I've personally seen a high 13 with 26x8.5 M/T at Woodburn Dragstrip. His car was completely stock and did the "slide the right foot to the gas and hold the brake at the same time" burnout. It suprized the hell out of me. If I remember right he rented the car to race sportsman class that weekend.

High 13 with only slicks from a 1st gen 4.6 SOHC motor. Not a prayer in hell.
They are a very very high 14 sec car with good driving. So you're telling me he dropped a full second with just slicks and no mods? Without other suspension mods, the most you're going to get with slicks is a few tenths. |

If the car is bone stock as we on the board know as "bone stock" then the Stang should go 15.1-15.2 @ 91-92 mph with a decent driver.
Don't be upset with this though, just "build a better mouse trap." Install an exhaust system, get some pulleys and gears and before you know it you will be cutting a tenth hear and a tenth there a your mph will increase too! Good luck!
