Knowing fox body owners, you might want to be a little more specific... and the whole coyote 5.0...

As Catnip said, You gotta be a little more specific. Stock, modded, stupid modded?

[-EnVus-]

A stock TSI can take a stock 5.0 im sure from experience riding in both
The fox is heavy...
Tsi 2549lbs
5.0 2834lbs

Yeah newer of course are heavy but for the fox chassis compared to a compact Tsi is heavier lol

I would run you but you are to far for me, if you ever go to the barrett meets LMK..... What HP are you looking to run? What Hp are you at?

My bro just got a 1990 5.0 today he may run you also but same scenario to far away lol

[Whiteboy572]

Ive got a friend with one doing 7.8's in the 1/4, is that too fast or you talking slightly modded 13 second one? Broad spectrum here.

13 seconds? Mustangs run 10's from the factory.

My friend has a stock 89 5.0 that would run you, but you would need to come to Gwinnett. I played with him in my G35...we did a dig to 40 (private property on a short section) and let's just say he spun wheels the entire time and was slightly sideways and was still passing me.

Did you not hit the gas pedal?

Gave it everything it had...5.0's have tons of torque...that is what they are known for. So their take-off is mean. 350Z/G35's lack in torque...they suck on take off. Now, if we started on a 40-50 roll...I would get him. I have raced 2 2005+ (1 was a 2008) Mustang GT's from a 40 roll and we were dead even up to about 120 and I pulled on him and continued to pull until I hit my max of 160. On take-off, those same Mustang's would beat me.

depending on the year, a stock 5.0 GT, if it has the h/o motor is a high 14 sec car. a newer GT(4.6 3v) runs high 13s. so either your G is a turd or your buddies car isnt stock. i find it very hard to believe that a stock 5.0 gt, with either a 2.73 or 3.31 gear can spin the tires all the way to 40mph.

My b.s flag is raised.

edit- i saw that you posted its a 89. with that being said, my buddy had a 91 fox with FRPP heads, 4.30 gear, all your favorite bolt ons, and slicks and only went 8.6s in the 1/8th mile. they do make some good torque but they are by no means, ungodly.

Ive seen lots of stock 5.0's get wheel spin to easily and im sure it can happen to 40mph if you push the motor.
My brother has a 85 with HO and it is a bitch to launch with no wheel spin till 3rd.
Another of my brothers just got a 90 5.0 today im curious in seeing its pull.

well i guess the G is a turd then lol, i mean they are heavy cars so they wont have much take off. especially with the torque they make, but i still dont see a stock 5.0 outrunning it if he was spinning THAT bad. the guy needs to learn how to peddle it lol.

the reason people love the 5.0s is becuase they are stout motors that have a HUGE aftermarket. you put a nice cam, gear and a good set of heads on one and you have a pretty fricken quick car.

Sadly ive heard to many Z and G guys claiming the same take off is compared to a NA 300zx you just can't launch them.
They are heavy as shit and just NO torque but once they get going They will fly...

[Catnip]

If 5.0's make "ungodly torque" what do you call LT1's and LS1's? The LT1 is stock rated at 325-340 ft/lbs... lol

[Dwisforme05]

lt1s are pretty nice on the bottle. off the bottle they wont fall out of a tree. lsx motors are a different story lol

LS1's are rated at those numbers not LT1's, LT1's made the best of 285HP in the later 96 & 97 years before was like 250-265HP.... And 350z/G35's are slow/heavy IMO, I used to spank those in my SRT-PT(PT Cruiser W/SRT-4 motor) along with mustangs, but at least GT's would usually give me a run for my money.....

slightly modded 13 second one lol. i know i wouldnt stand a chance against one running in the 7's.

[dohc4.6sc]

modded 12-13 second stang doesnt really have to be a 5.0

Tsi 2549lbs
5.0 2834lbs

unless my door jam is wrong my car weighs 3991

nope just wanna see how i can do against one. i know my car isnt fast by any means. quick yes fast no.

[Dwisforme05]

if you want to drive to rome, ill play around.

thats not curb weight.

lt1s are pretty nice on the bottle. off the bottle they wont fall out of a tree. lsx motors are a different story lol

Mine with a K&N CAI, Edelbrock 50 state legal shorties, true duals, and street tires went 13.1 @ 104.5... not bad IMO. Not to mention the tune was off because the tuner said he couldn't get the car to run on his tune.

LS1's are rated at those numbers not LT1's, LT1's made the best of 285HP in the later 96 & 97 years before was like 250-265HP....

I didn't say anything about horsepower. Y'all were talking about the torque of a 5.0 being beastly, when the torque of a LT1 is even better.

if you wanna get a techy pretty sure a 305TPI has more TQ than a 302.....but dont quote me on it.

when was this? the last thread u had up, in 1/4 slips at least, you said you were running high 13s. its hard to believe a 13.1 out of an lt1 on street tires. sorry for being skeptical.
