90 RS VS 89 Mustang
Ok me and my buddy love our cars but he thinks my car will smoke him and i think he would win but i didnt tell him that.
His car flowmaster muffler original pipes. 5.0L
My car 305 everyhting is out of my car though. all a/c and all emisions.
i have the flowmasters from the y back. no cat.
got shift kit
got rid of air cleaner and put an elderbrock on it.
so what do you guys think from a dead stop and a roll?
thanks

Re: 90 RS VS 89 Mustang
An auto gt is still going to click off high 14's maybe better depending on the gearing. Id guess your running a very low 16. Do what you want, just dont put any cash on it.

Re: 90 RS VS 89 Mustang
a 305tpi 5 speed can take a mustang 5.0 with 5 speed. never would of thought that. just b/c they have more power and are lighter.

Re: 90 RS VS 89 Mustang
if it was a hatch or a vert then its an even match, but a 5 speed notch is capable of mid 14s, but he should take you unless he screws something up

Re: 90 RS VS 89 Mustang
Ya we both had full cars. 4 people in each car! His mustang is nice only if he would take care of it. But it was fun b/c he just kept falling behind.

Re: 90 RS VS 89 Mustang
A 305TPI 5speed depending on options and year could have had more power and be not much heavier than a mustang gt 5 speed from the same year. Think about a 1LE formula.
