Modded 90 LX vs 98 GT?
Just curious about how I should fair against my friends car. He has a 98 GT (4.6L V8) with a manual that runs strong, but is completely stock.
My car: 3.55 Gears MAC Cold Air Intake MAC 2.5 Cat-Back Exhaust All ford racing wires Auto tranny in perfect condition runs strong Michelin Pilots on stock 15" rims Cobra Mass Air Flow Sensor Other suspension stuff and some other small stuff. Also, I was thinking about selling my car and getting a 93 cobra. How would my car fair against the cobra, and how would the cobra fair against the 98 GT. Thanks! Sonics2042 |
Just a note...my car is the 90 LX :)
Thanks |
You should be about 7 or 8 tenths faster than your friend your car is lighter and more powerfull.
Bet some cash if you can. A 93 cobra would not be much faster than your 90LX with the mods you have. Get a shift kit and a stall converter and your car will fly. I know what you mean though there is just something about a cobra..;) |
I know! I love my car, it has been good to me :)
But the Cobra is just calling for me. I also want the manual. Also, what is a stall converter and what does it do? I am pretty familiar with stang mods, but I am unfamiliar with that one. Also, I have the car bug, so I am willing to put more $$ into the Cobra...In fact, I have a hard time not putting more $$ into the LX even though I know I plan to sell it. I am that bad. Thanks, DoranW |

I haven't ran my stang since it was stock, but I would expect to run about a 14.7
And I think the 98 GT runs about a 15.2 with a good driver. And I sincerely doubt he knows the optimal shift points. Actually I know he doesn't :) However, we will probably only be going 0-60 or 0-70. |

But your right the 98 GT is a low 15 sec car |

Sonics2042 a 93 Cobra would be awesome, if you can find one, cheap enough. Most people from what I've seen want 12,000-18,000 for one with decently low miles. |
Hmm I think it would be pretty close! Your downfall is that AOD!

Your 90 will beat the 98. Hell i beat a 98 with my L at the track and I'm a good 1000 pounds more weight at least and only mods were K&N open cone, FMS 9mm wires, MSD 6A and Blaster TFI coil (my time was a 15.3@90 with 2.3 60 ft.). I used to have a 96 and the early 4.6s suck in the GT's. Yeah the 98 has 225 vs the 215 stock hp of my 96 but they are also heavy and the 4.6 sucks badly for torque performance. Your 90 has the better gear and torque, though if I was you I'd put in some 4.10s if you keep the car. Your car is also lighter and with the auto you won't miss a shift. From what you've told us about your friend, he will miss a shift :D. He's running a 2.73 rear gear if he's still stock. My 96, with totally stock and 2.73s ran a 15.4 @ 94 with a 2.4 60ft. But also mine was probably about 200 or so pounds less than that 98 will be (it was a GTS version, weighed a little over 3200 without me in it and 3/4 tank of gas). Though once I put in my 3.73s (I had the T45 5speed) I dropped to a 15.0@92 with a 2.3 60 ft. My bet is you'll take him pretty good.

Go 5.0
Bad89, You say you have been to the track, but I see plenty of 5.0 with auto and mininal mods in the low 14's. My friends 93 ran a best of 14.1@98 with 373s, Mac cold air and full exhuast and trans-go - not really modded at all. However, without the exhuast he ran a 14.4@96. In any event no 96-98 will be close to him, even with similar mods.
My money is on the 5.0. |

off .8's. (because a stock one is running 15's.) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I think your being a ricer. I could really care less what your car runs or your friends car ran, if your "fast" come show me at my track. ;) |
Class act
Well, those are the numbers. I am honest on this board and don't cotton to lying. I am not a ricer and I did not intent to say you havent seen 15 sec autos out there, but I HAVE seen low to mid 14 sec ones nor that you were not an avid racer. It is just hard to believe with all that experience you have not run across what seems to be fairly normal.
My elevation is sea level and those times were on hot humid summer days. Think what you want but dont name call, it is petty and I am the furthest thing from a ricer, I know what adds HP to a mustang and what is vapour ware. And if I was closer I would gladly run your LS1 for fun. |
;) I have never seen a auto 5.0 all stock run anything but 15+, and I've driven probaly 5+different ones and I'd say they were 15+second cars.

Nobody at 1BAD89's track has ever run a good time in their Mustang. Only the almighty LS1 is fast. Note: His LS1 runs MUCH quicker than most, but nobody's Mustang could possibly run a good time.
