An LX 5.0 will run low to mid 14's stock, maybe faster in the right conditions. An LX 4 cylinder will run around 19-20 second quarter miles, a 5-speed that is, maybe slighty faster, or slower. They cannot be improved alot, they are not fast, they can't really be made fast on a budget. Sure you could put $15,000 in one to make it fast, but come on now. A 5.0 will absolutely destroy one. The weight differences are minor, and I think the 4 cylinders have around 100hp, and the 5.0 being around 225. The 5.0's are WAYYYYY FASTER THAN A 4 CYLINDER, END OF DISCUSSION. The 5.0 has alot more potential also.
