anyone with a 90ish mustang?

[Dumbass17]

i'm thinking i should maybe pick up a 90ish mustang 5.0L for some summer fun

any thoughts? :dunno:

[Supa Dexta]

This guy does..

[Dumbass17]

I KNOW RIGHT!

it'd be so fun :poosie:

[Moe Man]

want mine?

[DomesticBoy]

had 2 5.0's
super fun cars id go for it again definetly
OR
goe for moe man's, his is ridiculously :bigpimp:

[sillysod]

5.0L is probably the best bang for your buck sports car you can get.

BMW = Douchebag Stereotype
Mustang = Wolf T-Shirt Stereotype

But atleast with a mildly modded 5.0 you can kick 95% of the cars on the road's asses. There is nothing as fun as a rwd car with 300+ or so HP that is cheap enough to bag the shit out of without worrying..

[DomesticBoy]

yep and parts are so common to find for these cars

[Hamann]

Have one and Love it, fun to drive stock and it only gets better when you start tinkering.
Plus no matter what anyone says nothing beats the rumble of a big V8 :poosie:
You will have to put up with all the little high school kids wanting to race you at every street light :banghead: but thats getting to the point where it really doesnt matter what you pull up in they want to race.

If your just looking for a fun car by all means get one, there cheap as hell, and like Sillysod said amazing bang for the buck.

Finding one without rust will cost you quite a bit more though.

:devil:

yeah i was thinking the same thing.


the turbo 2.3's 4 bangers are some of the fastest mustangs you can get.

[gofastmerc]

I had a bunch. Get a stick, change the gears and have a blast driving it around.

Will it? Buy one from the States for cheap ;)

[Darkane]

Not many cars with a simple gear change and slicks get into the 13's :)

My vote is a '93 LX coupe if you can find one. Get the Dark green and find a set of chrome pony rims. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I might do this in the near future just for the hell of it.

[Dumbass17]

hmmmm

i wonder how much a decent one would run me $....i'm just worried about inspections :P

That was my baby :(

[Kloubek]

I know it was not as popular with the younger crowd, but I always liked the ground effects package of the GT. I had an 88 Cobra and it was actually a fair amount of fun. Handled poorly though (for my standards anyway), and winter driving was impossible.

Still, I think the Ford V8 sounded the sweetest. Especially with the aftermarket exhaust I had on mine.

The better car though: My old 91 Z28. Better handling, better power, sleeker looks (imo). Problem is, they are not found as inexpensive as the 5.0's and the price difference doesn't justify the minor performance difference.

are you kidding? they were way heavier and much slower than a 5.0

with a $600 nitrous kit and decent tires you can get a 5.0 5spd into the 12's.

you'd be lucky to break 13 with the camaro.

[Hamann]

It really comes down to personal Preference between the Mustang and Camaro, i lookied at a couple camaro's before buying my mustang 2 years ago but i was just not a fan of the interior at all.

I personally love the look of the GT's with the ground effects package, and i like the look of the hatchback alot better than the notch. But again that comes to Personal choice.

You can easily find one in pretty good condition for under 5g, and if you spend some time looking you will even be able to find one with most of the bolt ons already done.

Yeah with the L98.

You can break into 12's with LT1 and LS1 camaro's with few mods.
My Z28 has headers, exhaust, mild cam and i did 12.8 without a tune and with my C6 chrome wheels 18/19's that are very heavy.

This guy i know has a 1988 GT with headers, cam, gears and other goodies and i have no problem beating him. He's a good driver too :dunno:



But if it's a camaro SS like the pic below, then you're looking for trouble.

yes but the LT1 is the new camaros and you cant find those cheap. the old ones (90ish) are not fast at all and the 5.7 only comes in auto ( unless you fine the super rare ones which will cost a arm and a leg). i want to sell my mustang and get a WS6 TA but not easy finding them for a good price.

All 3rd Gen F-Bodys have auto trannys with the 5.7, except for the Firehawk by SLP.

[sillysod]

The LT1 Camaro's are really nice, but again you are talking about a lot more $$$.

The 3rd Gen F-Bodys can't touch a 5 spd 5.0L LX or SVO 2.3T..

Not too sure where you're getting your facts from man.

91 Z28: Weight: 3381

Power: 230hp/300 tq. OR from the L98 5.7L: 245/345. To be fair, my model had the lesser engine.

91 Mustang LX 5.0: Weight:3166.

Power: 225hp/300tq.

It should be noted that in 1993, Ford reduced the claimed ratings of horsepower for their engines to 205hp/275tq. It's not that the engine itself became less powerful, but Ford decided the new numbers were more accurate in real life.

You could add at least 100 pounds for the Mustang GT over the LX - making the Mustang and Camaro very close in weight. Nor are we comparing cars on nitrous.... we're talking about stock cars here. I'm guessing putting nitrous on a Z28 would add a lot of power too.

I am attaching a chart for your reading pleasure supplied by Road and Track comparing 88 models. Granted, there were likely minor tweaks between 88 and 91, but it gives you a pretty good idea that the straight-line performance was very similar between the two - though the Camaro edged the mustang on all-out top-end.

But the most important discrepancy in the chart: The braking and handling were not even in the same ballpark between the two cars.

So - let's recap:
Speed: Close, but edge to the Camaro in the end.
Handling: Camaro, hands down.
Braking: Camaro, hands down.

But yet, somehow, you believe the Mustang was the better car? I know the Mustang has much more of a "cult" following, but it was NOT the better car. It is also easier to find aftermarket modding parts, no doubt -which fairly easily make it faster than the Camaro. Still, it takes a lot of modding to make it out-handle the Camaro. And the Pinto-sourced rear brakes on the Mustang would have to be swapped out completely for it to compete in the braking department.

your wrong there was a very rare model that came with a 5 speed and had the 5.7L.

i saw one go in a auction, it was a 92 vert with the 5.7 5 spd.
$22500 :nut:

92 verts are very rare cars. They are 25th anniversary cars and they only made 1,254 convertibles.

I definitely would not pay $22,500 for one but, a true collector would.

1991 Camaro 3103lbs 5spd

305v8 W/O TPI = 170hp/225ft-lb
305v8 W/ TPI = 220-230 hp/ 290-300ft-lb



1991 Mustang 2775lbs 5spd

302v8 LX = 205-225hp/275-300ft-lb
302v8 Cobra = 245hp/320ft-lb



I personally don't think either car is particularly good. I did have a 2003 Mustang GT with mods as well as a 1999 Camaro LT1. Both were fun cars, both were built cheap and neither could brake or corner at speed as well as my Audi can. Saying that one is better than the other is pointless as both will get schooled by even a 1/2 decent sport sedan. Although the Camaro is better at it, neither car was designed for corners.

If you are looking for a CHEAP best bang for your buck car the mustang is the only option. A decent Camaro is going to cost you double and you will spend more on mods as well.

[Kloubek]

sillysod: Not sure where your source if info is on the weight, but I'm not going to claim it is any more or less valid than my own sources. Let's just say it appears there is some discrepancy as to the weight of these cars! (Are you sure you don't have the stat for the 4 cyl mustang?) lol

I will agree with you though that these cars cannot measure up to today's sport sedans. But then, the original intent of the OP was to get an OLD 5.0. Back in the day, these cars weren't that bad, and I doubt he could do much better with the funds available.

Regarding that cherry Trans Am above: That's a beautiful car! I always liked the 98+ design, and they were wicked fast.

I'm trying to get my hands on a 2000 supercharged WS6. Being dicked around a little bit on it tho, so never know if it will happen or not. *fingers crossed*

That would be a custom install and not from the factory. I've checked two references and none show any factory 5sp with the 5.7.

It was from car & Driver or something I can pull it up, but it did vary year to year.

100% Agree, I was saying that for the $$$ he couldn't find a better bang for your buck car than the 5.0L

The WS6 is still a beautiful car, when I bought my '03 GT it was because I couldn't come up with the additional funds for the WS6. It was a little more $$$ but a lot more car. I sold my mustang a year later, but if I bought the Firebird I'm sure I would have kept it.

I bet. When I see the 98+'s on the street, I'm always eyeing them. I have a feeling that if I do get my hands on this one I'm dealing for that I'll be keeping it as my summer ride, then get a TJ or something for the winter. 0-60 in 5.2 and 1/4 mile in 13.4 is pretty impressive stock - let alone with a Whipple supercharger... it will pretty much beat anything on the road... provided you can get the tires to stop spinning, and you're not driving with too many hard twists and turns. They handle well, but let's face it - not nearly as well as say, a Corvette or Porsche.

It is what it is. And I LIKE what it is. :)

Have your friend or you input the RPO codes of the car at this Camaro site. It will list all the options the car came with from the factory.

not 100% sure
ive only had one 5.0 and never had the chance to bag on it nor see to its extent the problems that come with the motor, mine had 243k and it seemed to have no problems with the engine

It's got a V8 in it, 265k is fuck all. Most cabs are 4-500,000 km's minimum. 302's are easy to come by. Make sure the body is good and it runs decent, for 4000 if the body is good and you can get a year out of the engine you will have gotten your moneys worth. Parts are not hard to find for these cars. You could probably find a short block 302 for a couple hundred dollars and then swap all the accessories off this engine and complete the swap in a day or two . The key with these cars is to make sure they are not twisted to shit when you buy them. If it has a sunroof look for creases around the sunroof as well as inside the hatch areas.
