what is faster?
 

a 91 mustang GT or a 95 Mustang GT? both are automatics and with 60k miles

Tough call, but I think I'd give it to the 95. The 91 weighs less, but the 95 has slightly better rear end gearing and trans gearing (I believe).

91Gt will walk all over a 95GT about a good 200lbs less and the motor Make a few HP more too the 91 that is.

Equal mods, and equal drivers. The 91 will stomp a hole in the 95 big enough to drive a Mack truck through. The 91 weights a LOT less. Even a Fox-body vert weights less than a SN-95

i kinda figured the 91 was faster...a buddy of mine has a 91 GT automatic with flowmasters, h pipe, timing bump, and headers and the 95 is bone stock i was just wonder which is faster because im looking for a GT but havent decided what year to get yet im probably just gonna get a fox body

No Slo. what gears did the 95 have??? 3.27?? and is the tranny the same??? No that I know But a 91 could have 2.73 or a 3.08 and I dont feel gears ocer come the wieght diff in the 2 cars.I have never heard somone say a stock 95 could be the Fox bodys...

The '95's came with 3.27s. Compare that to a 2.73 gear, and that's about a 0.20 difference in the quarter. 0.20 is worth roughly 20 hp, which equates to about 200 lbs. That equalizes the weight penalty. I'm not making this stuff up, they're all rules of thumb.

Beyond that. I believe the 95 AOD had improved first and second gear ratios vs. the 91.

I'm also going off of my perceptions of driving a stock 93 AOD, and a stock 96 AOD. The 93 could barely spin the tires from a dead stop, while the 96 would roast'em at will. My honest perception was that the '96 came out of the hole a lot harder.

Does anyone have any data from magazines?

Yeah, the gearing could make a large difference. 91 AOD's had codes for 2.73's or 3.27's. The 3.08's were only available in the 5 speed cars. For the 95, its AODE has some improvements over the AOD in the 91, however, as was mentioned before, the weight difference all but eliminates those gains.

If the rear end gearing is equal in the two cars, the 91 should win.

yeah, but if you're going to mod the car, I think you should go for the 95... you can make both just as fast..

that's a personal bias, but some facts I like are that ride quality and the interior are much improved.. :)
SN-95 also has disks all around, stiffer frame, etc, etc...

but either one is a STANG !! ;)

The 91 is a couple hundred pounds lighter, and has 225hp,300tq (rated) vs 215hp,285tq (rated).

Gear ratio options between the two cars are the same.

2.73:1 standard, 3.27:1 optional.

It won't matter if the 95 has 3.27's. The 91 actually has a shot at running a 14 (albeit extremely high 14), the SN95 auto does not. The '91 will own the '95.

I have never, ever seen a stock 91 AOD GT run a high 14 on a California track. That's just me.

It was my bad earlier, equating a 95 to a 96. Two different motors. Excuse the confusion, I was having a senior moment.

Yeah, the 91 would win.

As the story goes, the engines made the same power, but were just rated differently. 205-215 net, I believe, and 225 gross.
