buying a 1993 LX 5.0 SE

[Unit 5302]

I'm guessing it's an auto. You don't mention whether or not it's a vert, I'm going to assume it's not.

5.0L 302ci, OHV pushrod V-8.
205hp@4200rpm, 285lb/ft@3600rpm.

0-60 7.0sec 1/4mile 15.0@95ish. It will depend on your driving skills and your track conditions.

Even though the 1993 cars were re-rated at 205hp, they are not really any different from the 1989-1992 cars that were rated at 225hp. Those cars probably all make a little more than 205, but not as much as 1987-1988.

It's pretty easy to get much improved performance over stock with very little money invested into the cars. For $500, you should be able to knock the car down to the mid 14's.
