I was just thinking how are 5.0's matched up to second gen turbo II's,,,,i always knew they where fast but crazy heavy and nothen to great,,,thats why i went with a 7 plus im not a big fan of domestic and deff not a fan of ford,,,you know how ford racing goes home,,on a flatbed cause they blew their engine out,,anywayz if i went up against a 5.0 with my 1987 tII raceing beat 3" exhaust j-spec turbo intake on a rebuilt 13b how do u think i would hold up,,,lets say the 5.0 had some mods nothen special,,dont they have like 220 hp stock,,

t2 wins easy. a 1989 mustang is as fast as an s5 N/A.

5.0s are great cheap drag cars. They're only about 2700lbs and have loads of torque. I think stock they have about the same 1/4mi as a TII, but they're cheaper and easier to modify. Now, if you're talking about racing one on a road with any turns, you should be able to kill it, unless they've swapped out the entire rear suspension, they really are only good in a straight line. So yeah, its a hick car and I wouldn't want to be driving one, but they can be damn fast hick cars.

and no, an s5 n/a wouldnt come close to a 5.0. They run a low 15, high 14 sec 1/4 mi stock, while an n/a fc is lucky to get under 16.

so n/a 7 vs 5.0 would get killed,,,but a turbo 7 would be a better race,,,im think a 5.0 would get all over me in first cause of the torque(i hate torque),,,but once we past first im thinken turbo kicken ill blow by him waven,,,raced a turbo mx-6 which have lots of torque,,he got acouple of inches on me in first then i handed his *** over to him hardcore,,,wadda u guys think should i race a 5.0 throw down acouple of hundred

i began to catch up at about the last 1/8 in my civic(i know, its very riced out)

they are great off the line, but revs are the replacement for displacement you know

And you would be lucky if a stock TII can beat a stock 89 GT.
