Horespower and Tourqe?
 

I just traded my 96 GT in for a 95 GT. convertable! With only 58000 miles on it! First off i want to say that, the 5.0 is a hell of a lot better! 4.6 can't compare with a 5.0! I just wanted to know if anyone knows the horsepower and torque rating on this motor for this year? It's a 5 speed, i think it has 2.73 gears, barked the tires in 3rd today! Thanks!

I like the 5.0 better personally, but the 4.6 is way ahead in the tech department. Especially the 99+.

Your car is 215 hp, 285 tq.

Barked the tires in 3rd with 2.73's??? really? hmm. cool.

I like your handle http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

The 5.0 is a good engine. Is your 5.0 Stock? Barking the tires in 3rd gear with 2.73's is not an easy task. You could have steaper gears or a little more steam under the hood... http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

lol... or just bad tires like me. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

'95 GT Convertable

it's stock, haven't done anything to the motor, it's been lowered with BBK springs and that's about it. I had to power shift to get it to bark the tires in 3rd, the tires are new too! I'm gonna put a 3.55 in it soon!

First thing I'd check is the air filter. Does it have a K&N? As mentioned above, it may have gears already. Time to start checking to see what has been done so far. Congradulations, I love verts too!(not to mention the 302) http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

Sold:(

The thing with the K&N is that you only feel horsepower if you know its there cus it really don't do anything on a stock motor...its just a reason to put stickers on stuff

Unless you bought it new, just because you haven't done anything to it, doesn't mean someone else... http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

I though my car was stock, until I crawled under the car and saw the Dynomax Cat back, went to change the air filter, only to pull out a K&N. You just never know...

yea 5.0 's kick butt
I too have a 95 MUST GT ,though mines
a coupe.
I test drove a 96 4.6 and your're right
it doesn't compare. had I drove the 4.6 first I probably wouldn't have bought a
mustang if i didn't drive the 5.0.

95 GT 5.0
stillen exh.
K&N
ALL PAID FOR !!!!!!

I'll have to disagree with you there bro. A K&N along with a performance tune up and msd brought my mpg up from around 24 to almost 28. Not big on the HP but it does help.

Crawled up under the car today! Still has stock exhaust on it, checked air filter, just a regular paper filter. Pretty sure it has 2.73 gears on it. Bumped up the timing to 13 degrees today! defenitely feeling a big difference on throttle response! This 5.0 defenitely beats that modular 4.6 motor! This car is a keeper not to mention it's a convertable!! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

thats strange, when my cars was stock at 50,000 miles and my brothers 96 stock gt with 98,000 miles on it, he bet me all of the time , they were both automatics.

I too have heard of stock 96+ GT's taking stock 94/95 GT's. The driver can make all the difference in the world. But in general the 5.0 SN95's are faster in stock trim.

When I bought my car, I didn't know it had a full exhaust untill I looked under the car. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

As for your car, it might have 3.08's.

Actually, if you want to get technical Ford rated the 5.0 manual at 225hp and 300lb/ft and the auto at 215, 285.

Where do you get your sources?? I have never seen a 94-95 Mustang rated above 215 auto or not. Just curious

my 95 gt is rated at 215 hp, and my brothers 96 is rated at 225hp with 3.08 gears i had 2:73. and when raced we left it in drive and he beat me every time

when i had my 96 GT it was rated at 215, and it was a 5 speed and had 3.27 gears. I couldn't beat a single 5.0 out there, stock or not!

The fastest i ever got my 96 GT at the track was a 15.20 @ 90 MPH. I can tell just by driving my 95 now that it is faster, than the 96 GT's

WAS YOUR 96 A AUTO
