car to buy

Actually chris91LX the 87-92 5.0's were rated at 225hp, only the '93 had the 205hp rating. Really though, none of the 5.0's were rated after the '87, they just carried the numbers over.

The '87-'88 speed density cars are usually 2-3 tenths quicker in stock form, and I'd say it's actually accurate to say that all the MAF cars would have been rated at 205hp had they bothered to dyno them.

Course, I've been through that discussion before.

The 91-92 cars with 16" Pony wheels also got a little wider inner fender area so the larger 245 width tires can be fit easier, they also have a 140mph speedo (which could be found back to 1989 on some cars), MAF (which dated back to the '88 CA and all later models), and a slight cam revision (I believe that coincided with the MAF introduction). Oh they also have an airbag, availible from '89+. There are a couple little other deals, but nothing real big.
