Personally, I'm not interested in 94-98 mustangs since they're the weakest years, and maybe slower than the CSVT stock.




actually you are wrong for lumping in the 94-95 gt's with the 96-98's...the 94-95's have a 5.0 in them and the 96-98 have the 4.6,and are the weakest years of the stang......and a 94-95 gt will kill a stock csvt in any contest of speed(unless there are alot of sharp curves )stock they will run anywhere from a 14.7 to 15.2 or so depending whether stick or auto and about a 6.0 0-60.....while they may only put out 215 flywheel hp stock,they also make about 285 lb. ft. of torque...

fwiw my '95 gt with MINOR exhaust and intake mods is making 225 rwheel hp,and has run a best of 14.2,and would easily dip into the 13's with sticky tires....also check out stangnet.com,there are guys running deep into the 12's in 94-95's with nothing more than heads,cam,and intakes,even in heavy 'verts...

but to answer your ?,like everyone says it depends on what you want...if you want a toy that is easy and cheap to mod,then you can't go wrong with the stang...but if you want a great handling,fun more practical 4door then the csvt is a great choice,and for the prices they can be had for,they are a steal..

new,new ride! '99 svt black/mnb '95 mustang gt sold! '98 svt #800 sold!
