Sol Vs 89 Stang 5.0

[MexSiR]

Well, carnnut, about the "most 4cyl NA engines can beat a 5.0 stang", im not lying man, ive never lyied on this forum and never will. The thing is, he has raced against a chevrolet "chevy" (thats the name for the car) which has a 1.6 liter engine producing 85 hp, and those are a match for him. I know the chevys (economy car found in mexico, around 8,000 dollars) are very slow, thats why i made the comparison. His engine might be a little messed up, who knows but ive driven it man.

Maybe his 5.0, but in general, most 5.0's will be faster than most 4-cylinder cars.

A car thats making 85 bhp is beating a car thats making a little over 200 bhp??

Are you sure he doesnt have the four banger engine sitting inside his Stang?

DkShadow might be onto something. It sounds as if this Mustang is a 2.3L I-4 with 5.0 badging or the Mustang engine has serious compression issues. Either way, it sounds as if this Mustang is a hoopty that needs some T.L.C.

I wonder about it havin a 4cyl too, I have a 92' Lincoln MarkVII and it has the very same 5.0L HO V8 as the stangs of that same year, not to brag or anything but i havent lost a race to a 4cyl yet, and why should I with twice the cylinders and almost twice the power?

Those SVO Mustangs kick ass. I want one! :

nope not an svo.... was once a regular 4 cyl mustang

he took the motor out of his turbo coupe and threw it in the mustang ill need to get pics or something that thing is a monster

he ran a 14.6 untuned, broken boost controler and on some old ass tires he got out of the tire bin at his work so it would pass inspection

hes waiting on parts so he can convert to 5 lug and throw on his cobra wheels

What do you mean stock 5.0's are slow as hell? By this your mean all of them are slow regardless off year and if they are H.O? I believe a stock 93 GT goes 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. A stock '93 cobra will go 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds. Thats pretty fast stock, especially because all that low end torque means you are always on the power-band.

His IS a 5.0 liter Im sure. Ive raced other mustangs, stock for stock I take them. The Mustang Gt 98 or lower is a good match for me, and I can take them, even if theyre 4.8 liters...theyre all automatic here so its a pretty even race, mustangs from before that version are slow slow stock.

Good thing this is an old thread or I would have to actually go off on all the shit that is wrong in this thread.
