Stock, 91 , 318 TBI "as far as I know" One of the stangs I beat had all the goodies, he litterally jumped off the ground off the line and actually got a little pavement on me, but when my dakota hit second I gained on em, pulled a little ahead, shifted into third, he caught up a little "dead even" in the upper RPM in third I pulled away, stayed ahead through fourth, had to let off for a wicked curve, he was pissed and blew by me "extremely dangerous manuver" we both pulled in the same 7/11 for gas. He was an older man with white hair and beard, he just kept lookin at me and shakin his head. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside, but yet, sorry for him, his was a brand new off the showroom "extra high performance stang" and I know he gave it all he had. I wanted to talk to em, but figured Id better leave well enough alone. afraid he mighta been senile or some sh@t! Although, a new Trans am ate me a new @ss same day,,, damn, that thing was fast. I found that most, if not all stock stangs, are low geared, if they dont get to big a jump on you off the line, you can take em, that is, if er ponies are all in good order.

Oh!!, and pushin 208,000 miles!!

The race described above took place about 8 months ago, and it was one of their "higher performance " models, had the Factory Cowl induction and some other insignias detailing other specs, forgot what they were though, it was a 5.0 "probably a special order job" Sounded awesome. People have to face the facts, combine a higher compression engine, with fuel injection, right gear ratios, even stock, its somthin to Reckon with!! Dakota 5.2!! certified hell raiser!!

I don't think you get what I'm saying, they DON'T MAKE 5.0s ANYMORE! All that was under the hood of that thing was either a 3.8L V6 or a 4.6L V8, the 5.0 is dead. Look on Ford's website. I'm not trying to take anything away from you but don't claim to beat a mustang that's got a mystery motor in it. The 4.6s are good motors, but it's no 5.0.

Well I guess that stang must have spent some time sittin in a garage, it had the 5.0 on the side. I thought it was brand new cuz it looked like new. When did they quit makin the 5.0? Like I said, it happened aprox. 6-8 months ago and given it mighta been purchased a few months prior, and possibly a previous year model. This means it could have actually been a year old "since production" 2 years from today, make sense? possible? All I know is, it had the 5.0 emblem on it, and really, I dont view it as a monumental victory, I had 16 cubic inches on em. When I can catch that camaro, I'll really smile.

95' was the last year for the 302 in a Mustang. 96' and up all have the 4.6's in varied forms.
