We went at it a couple of times and he had no problem hanging with the Mustang.


I don't think a CSVT would have any pr.blems hanging with a stock '91 stang GT.




um ok a stock csvt will NOT hang with a '91 stang unless it is an automatic...a STOCK fox bodied stang with a manual will run deep into the 14's and a 5.9 0-60...a csvt unless supercharged(or demonsvt's)will NOT hang with that...i own a csvt,and have owned SEVERAL foxbodied stangs(including my current 12 second '93 lx),and my svt is not nearly as quick as any of the stangs i've owned....300 lb.ft. of torque is awesome in a 3000# car....never underestimate a fox stang, with gears and a couple bolt ons they are solid 13 second cars,and with a few more mods a very easy 12 second car...a bone stock stang with 3.73 gears is very capable of high 13 second 1/4 mile times.....



Thats not been my experience. But then hey what do I know.

i have been around and owned mustang for years,and there is no way in hell that a 200 hp front wheel drive car can hang with a 5 speed 225 hp/300 lb. ft. of torque rear wheel drive car period.....i have an svt,and while its fairly quick,it in no way is anywhere near as fast as any 5 speed foxbodied stang......i don't see any svt's on here that run any lower than 14's that includes supercharged and 3l cars too...there are thousands of fox stangs that are running removed intake silencers,k+n's,3.73 gears,and flowmaster exhausts that are well into the 13's....now auto stangs are a different story those aod tranny's suck a$$,but a 5speed....

i can personally tell you from experience,that these cars are faster....my 93 lx is in the 12's with minimal mods..exhaust,gears,heads,cam,and intake.....

don't get me wrong i love svt's...hell i retired my stang to strip/weekend toy duty,when i got my svt..great cars they are,but they are not faster than a fox bodied stang..now as with all things there will be exceptions,but in general MOST(not every single one)fox stangs will outrun MOST(not every single one) svt's,and that's just a fact....

hell it was the explosion of the fox mustang aftermarket that started everyone trying to mod their cars for performance...the stang scene was huge...when the aftermarket companies saw the amount of modding to these cars,stuff started becoming available for all types of cars...modding as we know it now might not be what it is today if it wasn't for the 5.0 mustang...


Chris I also have to disagree with you. Although my mustang puts out around 250hp at the crank and 300tq I would say from 70 on the the tour would have a slight edge on a stock mustang. Mustang would own in the 1/8th and 1/4 though. Got love that torque!
