who'se supposed 2 win off the line? Just 4 fun I took one on in my stock SE 5sp ... he was always aabout 2 feet ahead of me till we hit about 60mph ... then we had 2 stop 4 the next lite ... we smiled @ each other & took it ez

 

OHBOIYA-

Ive raced about 10 5.0L Mustangs in my 5 speed SE (street and track) and have never lost. The only ones that have kicked my a@# are the Cobras!

In fact, I raced one last night! This 5.0 seemed mostly stock, with just some Flowmasters. By 60 mph, I shut it down with a 3 car lead. His was particularly slow though, as usually, in 1st and part of 2nd, the 5.0's hang pretty close, and at about 50 mph the Max starts to make a nice stroll away.

This has been my experience anyway.

 

Hey there,

What kind of 5sp Se do u have? Is it stock?

 

You will beat a stock 5.0 5spd Stang. Now if it had exhaust or gears that would be different.

 

Yep its stock. But, next week Im adding the CAI and the Cattman Y-pipe.

Yeah...you are right...It depends on how much the Stang is modified. Ive beaten ones with exhausts etc., though with my stock 5 speed SE.

 

It depends on the year of the mustang and the condition, and of course the driver. with equal drivers no max will beat a 87-93 mustand 5 sp. I had a 89 LX that ran 13.6 with flowmaster exhaust and 65mm TB on street tires. A supercharged max couldnt do that on street tires. with a couple more mods (no supercharger) ran 12.80. So just be glad not everyone can drive, cause I love my Max but there is no way to even compare how fast my mustang was! (TRue story) My father has a Lamborghini 5000s and we raced a few times at limerock park and on the street(never from a stop) I could easily beat him until about 130mph or until I shifted into 5th,and a friend of his has a 97 Ferrari TR beat him too until about 130mph. After that both cars were gone 170++. Just wanted to share some memories!

 

about = anyhow.... the 94 redesign & 5.0L ran 0-60 in 6.8 seconds....
now its much quicker with the latest redesign, I think its something more like 0-60 in 5.5 sec for the 4.6L GT... 6.5 for the auto

i beat a 93 gt by 1 1/2 cars up to 120 on the parkway then out draged him on the street ,both races were close only won by half my car before we hit a light after a 3 block race, i don't if it was stock but i only had a cone filter and exhaust. 2k max se 5 speed white

 

They are all over the place, from low 13's up to the high 17's. Just because you beat one, doesn't mean you beat them all. I have a friend with an '89 LX 5.0 that runs 13.8-14.0 in the 1/4 with only a intake. The 5.0's are much easier to modify too. SC kits only go for $1500. The only good 4.6 (IMHO) is the Cobra version. The rest are dogs.
