Almost beat a 5.0
I thought these cars were fast. Hes got a 1994 LX. We were both at a light and hes got an intake and exhaust. He starts revving and i start revving. My car is bone stock and i was pulling on him up to about 55 then i missed first i missed third because i was still a new driver. But this kid talks his car up so much. I guess he don't know how to drive.

Um, a 94 LX (there are no LX's after '93 anyway) is actually a 3.8L V6 with a whopping 140HP. It's the same motor that come in Ford Windstars. Those cars run low 16's.
Fox Body LX's ( 79-93) come with 5.0's and haul ***, but 94-up Base model Mustangs (sometimes incorrectly call LX's) are 140HP V6's only. In 99, they uppped the HP on the base model to 193HP, and that got them to run 15's.
If that kid thinks his 94 V6 is so fast, maybe he should take a REAL 5.0 out for a drive....that'll shut him up quick about his car

I agree with Mustang5L5, if you lost to a base model 94, you would have one slow car! They run in the 16s and with his mods, he would maybe crack high 15s! If it is a GT then it is faster but slow compared to the 87-93 cars!

the car he is talking bout is a 93 LX 5.0
one day we asked him what he would run at the track and he replied "if im lucky, high 13's, but really low 14's easey"
ok, his only mod, euro tail light are gonna make that stang so fast, they add like 130 HP per liter!!!

My friend pulled a 14.3 in his 93LX with just exhaust. But then again, i know a bunch of kids with 5.0's who are just interested in looks and bragging and don't know crap about 5.0's running mid 15's

Same with me. Some Mustangs owners I know will say they run mid 12s, have never gone to the track and get beat by mid 13 second cars! My car started off with rims, and just a B cam and headers, so I kind of started off with the ***** mentality, but those 10 holes just don't look quite like the Cobra Rs!
