I concur

But how many "Bone Stock" 5.0's are there, lol. I know... everyone says theirs is, but usually it's not. Some people I know consider "bone stock" not touching the enigne, so they can have 3.73s, headers back exhaust, upgraded clutch, but still are "stock".

That's true, but I'm sure the guy knows this.

Hey mine is bone-stock. I swear...... :evillol:

5.0 mustangs completely stock are slow, slow as a Kia spectra. Not kidding.

They go in the 9s 0-60 mph.

A friend has a bone stock one, and he get walked by the cheapest car in mexico, a chevrolet chevy, thats what its called, 1.6 liter producing 80 horsepower on a light chassi.

Uh...no. My friend had a 1988 Mustang GT, bone stock, and he quarter-miled at 15 seconds flat...they're not THAT slow...

Don't they have something like 300lb. of torque, I've seen stock ones, and they are pretty damn fast. I raced a stock one, and I didn't have a decisive advantage til 3rd. I have an 02 Camaro z28

225 hp, 300 ft-lb of torque, curb weight about 3000 lbs.

0-60mph in 9 seconds.... come on.........

:loser:

He must be thinking of the N/A 2.3 'Stangs.

No Im not thinking of the 4cyl mustangs. My friend which lives 1 minute away from me has a GT, and I swear to god, he doesent see the quarter mile line in less than 18.5 seconds, maybe his engine is fucked up.

BTW im in Mexico GDL (5440 ft above sea level) that would equal a 17.0 flat at sea level.

Even some of the most hardend believe Mustangs are slow poeple her e on AF would even agree a 5.0 Stang if running on all cylinders will pull a 16second 1/4 mile.

Just cause your friend has one dead beat ass 5.0 your gonna base your opinion on that... :loser:

Maybe because:
it's a 4cyl with 5.0 badges
your friend just learned to drive a manual(thats if it's a stick)
The engine and tranny has big time mechanical problems.
or all of the above.

Whatever it is a normal GT does not run 18.5 seconds or slower or even 17.0 or slower at sea level.It's like saying my friend has an 03 cobra and only runs mid 16's and gets beat by a Geo metro at the track everytime.
Doesn't make sense does it.The fact is a stock 03 cobra should beat a stock Geo metro 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% of the time.
Same goes with the Gt and the chevrolet chevy with 80hp.

I just don't want people to spread the word that 5.0 GT's can't do better then 18.5 in the 1/4 or less then 17's at sea level.Right there you should know that if a 5.0 v-8 with 225 hp and 300 ft-lb of torque can't beat a 1.6 v-4 with 80hp then there is something wrong.Common sense should tell you that.
