"because a '93 era mustang would put a retarded beating on a probe." - A retarded beating? Not quite. A stock 91 GT like the one my buddy drove in 93 that I raced was NOT a 14 sec. car. A stock LX notchback 5-speed car would get times in the 14.5 sec. range, but not a stock GT. By the way, in 93 the HP ratings actually dropped for the Mustang.
My buddy that I raced in the 91 Mustang GT was a pretty crappy driver, and never really raced too many people. Me on the other hand by 1993 had owned, and street raced 3 different 13-12sec. Mustangs. I was a pretty good driver by then so it was pretty easy for me to kick his ass out of the hole in my PGT.
dude you are sooooooooo far off on those 91 gt stats its not even funny...i have owned no less than 5 fox bodied stangs and the only one that ran 15's was a bone stock 2.73 geared auto gt...and it ran 15.2's all day long...ALL of the 5 speed fox bodied stangs ran well into the 14's BONE STOCK....
the car and driver posted times for a STOCK 1991 mustang gt are - 0-60 6.0 SECONDS....1/4 in 14.6 SECONDS @ 97 mph...and a top speed of 135 mph...how is that not a 14 second car????
also your statement about losing hp in 93 is off as well...in 1993 ford changed the way they rated hp...the 93 engine is exactly the same as the previous engine(except for having hypeuretic pistons)the 93 engine was dyno proven many times to put out the same wheel hp as previous models...
and it is a fact that a PROPERLY RUNNING fox bodied stang WOULD in fact put a RETARTED beating on a stock probe gt PERIOD......
