Since we're mostly off-topic bench racing now lol...

I never experienced a fox body but a friend of mine had a 1994 SN-95 Mustang GT with the 5.0L and auto trans. Even with CAI, long tubes, catless mid-pipe, premium-fuel tune and 3.73 gears it wasn't any quicker/faster than my Duster when it had a worn-out 318 with 4-bbl, duals off stock manifolds and Voodoo 256/262 cam going through a stock 904 with 2.76 gears. With the first 360 I swapped in it wasn't even close. That Stang looked and sounded fast but really wasn't. I know the manuals are faster but still, 3.73 vs. 2.76 gears should have given it a big edge. I suppose that car did weigh at least 300 lbs more than my Duster though.

I wouldn't mind a newer Mustang with the 5.0L Coyote and 6-speed especially since the new Challenger is so damn fat and heavy. If I ever got an LX/LY/LC Mopar it would likely be an SRT Chrysler 300 with the 6.4L.

94 and 95 were dogs they were fat pigs weight going up slower then fox body 94 95 cobra was 14.5 avg 14.2 good driver shamefull cheby smoked was 14.0
