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





sorry about the avatar node, it was the only pic on my school computer

 

Hell go for it.. :bigthumg: What would my FD do to a 5.0? :smirk: What if the 5.0 has a supercharger?!

 

Mustang 5.0, anybody take one



"ALL THE TIME"

 

the mustangs around here are scared to race me

 

must me the limited edition decal that scares them



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