L98 vs. 5.0
a few days ago i was comin home from work and sitting at a light about a mile form my house blastin some NWA. I notice a car pulled up beside me and it happened to be a 85 or 86 5.0, so i turned down the music cuz I already knew what was gonna go down. The 5.0 was really a nice clean car and it had t-tops (i havent seen one with t tops). Anyway, the light went green and i holeshoted the **** out of him, 2nd gear came in and he got right on my door but after that the old L98 top-ended him for about 1 1/2 - 2 cars. I didnt get to ask him what mods he had (dont all 5.0's have mods nowadays?)but my car is basically stock with some march underdrives, a K&N, the screens removed from the MAF, and a little timing. Thought you guys would enjoy a classic race.

I like the way the earlier 5.0 front end looks! kinda mean and camaroish with the square headlights! the 86-93's kinda resemble a Ford Escort or maybe a Ford Taurus front end. Just my opinion tho...

man fox body's are flimsy as it is, i couldnt even imagine how weak that body must be. A good pothole could probably throw off door alignment
