Mustang Brandon · 10-30-2004, 05:28 PM

in my family we have both an 89 lx 5.0 and a 96 gt 4.6. can any body tell me the horse power and torque of these cars

Fat0eknee · 10-30-2004, 05:45 PM

the 89 will be 225/300
the 96 ~i think~ will be 240/300

im not sure on the numbers with the 96 though

Mustang Brandon · 10-30-2004, 06:38 PM

my freind who has a 95 gt thinks the 96 gt's have like 215 hp but im not sure because you say like 240. on the torque im pretty sure the 5.0s have more than the 4.6s. but im not totally sure.

the 96-98's only had 215hp and are slow as crap. Probably the slowest of the modern Mustangs as they had really crappy heads which were fixed in '99.

The 98GT had 240HP
The 96-98Gt had 215HP
The 89GT has 225HP

All of them have right at 300 ft lbs of torque.
