Talking 5.0 vs my Cav

His was an 84 5 speed. Mine was a 93 3 speed auto. I had him by a door legnth @65, but we were racin to 85. He beat me by about a 1/2 a mph, ~ 2 ft. from his front bumper. How does this sound? These both of our cars had slight mods, filters exausts etc. Oh yeah mine was a v6.

I'm not quite sure what you were expecting/how you got ahead in the first place.

Yeah for real Im with BigDanny here, the torque of that 5.0 shoulda murdered you off the line..again no disrespect but Im just doubting he knew how to launch it right or something..especially since he had a 5 speed and you're auto..

because i dont believe that you will be able to keep up with modded mustang 5.0 in your cavalier, thats why.

.

This was a 84 Mustang not a 89, there is a difference. Whether it happened or not I don't know but I bet you this 84 5.0 didn't even have 200hp.

This is why sometimes Mustang owners get a bad rap.

Really though, all jokes aside, it might be feasible for a cav with mods to beat a stock 5.0, especially if it was an 84 since they had like 180hp or so.



But come get some of me and you won't hang.
