a 5.0 95 mustang wants to race my stock ss, both are stock,  how sould it end?

 

I would think a 1995 Mustang would be a very low 14 second car, so it depends on how fast your truck is. If it's an automatic the Mustang *should* be consistent, if it's a 5 speed you'll have the driver to figure into things. I've seen many drivers who couldn't launch or shift a 5 speed for any amount of money..?

I think you got him in the 1/4. It will be close. :driving:

 

He will get you up top. >100mph :ughdance:

 

Let us know how it turns out. Make sure he is stock though. The 5.0L is a very easy car to mod. I own a 91.

raced a 99 gt when it was warm out and smoked him off the line for a good distance then he caught me but he still couldn;t get ahead of me. Should be a close one but you should get the jump

Go give her hell!! :driving:

 

Cut as much weight from your truck as you can. You will be amazed at how much that helps. Let your truck cool down before hand and I still think you have a shot.

 

Take out the spare tire and jack

take off the tailgate

as little gas in the tank as possible

my sis has a 94 5.0 with a cold air induction and exhaust automatic and she gets me by about a car from a 40 mile an hour role to around 80 but from a dead stop i got 2 cars on her to 80 more in the beginning she started to catch up a little but still a kill in my book so i say go for it man you definitly have a good chance of beating her :cool:

I think your gonna get beat. those 5.0's aren't that fast, but they are faster than a stock or even lightly modded SS. My buddy has a 94 cobra 5.0. He took me twice, now that i have the whipple i took him once and he won't race me again now :driving:

 

Have fun

5.0's are not fast. I have a buddy with a stock 91 and I have raced him a couple of times, every time i beat him by close to two car lengths. I don't have a SS, but just a BONE STOCK reg. cab. short bed silverado with a 5.3. Off of the line I smoke him with my 3.73's. He starts to catch up by 70-75. I say go for it. My truck runs 15.20's stock and I beat him. I think a stock SS runs pretty close to what I do :dunno:

i can attest to that. i was running 6.5 to 6.7 (0-60) after testing it with only a quarter tank of gas, dropping my 30 pound bullet proof vest, and my 200 pound brother, i was running 6.3ish times according to a gtech. thats a nice gain just from dropping less than 300 lbs.
