5.0 VS 350z

[A790]

The 350Z would win. I've seen it, multiple times.

[Z_Fan]

Another vote for the 350z.

^^ some info on a 350 if anyone cares. I think the 5.0 would win but I'm gonna find some information on it.

I guess it depends on what Mustang your talking about. The older ones will get spanked, the newer ones won't. It looks to me that the 350 is a bit quicker from the line, but once the traction is there they hold the same through the gears.

the lx 5.0 isnt lighter, and its numbers are 205hp/270 torque. in the real world its always a drivers race for the most part, but technically speaking there is a clear winner.

My numbers were for the 5.0L Cobra, not the LX. It'd help if the original poster states whether he was comparing the Cobra or the LX. All he said was "1993 5.0 Mustang."

Who races a stock 5.0L mustang?

So a bone stock 93 mustang "cobra" which was just a body kit and decal package added. I still vote 350z

What you're referring to are known as "canadian cobras". Basically just rebadged GT's. But in 1993 there actually was a Cobra produced in the states which was more than just a decals and body kit.

Yeah I know, but I guarantee it wasn't a real cobra he is talking about.

There's a bone stock LX 5.0 in the world?? I doubt it.. Pull up along side a LX and if it sounds stock, there is probably a woman behind the wheel.

Secondly, the "bone stock" 93 Cobra sported these numbers on the 1/4 mile

But honestly, when you heard that Cobra fire up, even though the race would be close, i'd take the cobra in a heardbeat. Not to mention this was the first year they started the SVT line so it's a major collectors item.

350Z no doubt in the quarter stock for stock...

[Inzane]

350Z definately.

The 350Z is a mid-14 car stock. Those 93 Mustang GT's were a mid-to-low 15 car stock. No contest.

i dont care what your numbers say and weight and all....i have driven both, a 350z and g35 coupe and 4 door, and have driven many 5.0l's. 350z and g35 felt the exact same. but every 5.0l is different some are fast as fuck some are slow ( these were all stock ). personally if you found a 5.0l with 0 km on it and raced it against the 350z, 5.0l would win. not because it is a crazy car but because the 350z and its brother g35 are not that fast. trust me

[Z24_3.1]

^^ thank u i dont know i think the mustang has more power

[MK3HKS]

quater mile....... 5.0 > 350z
top speed......... 350z > 5.0

I like where you guys are coming from.

[Moe Man]

ya i dont think they where very good at getting cars to hit high speeds in 1993

The '93 Cobra only 5000 produced I think or less Will spank the 350Z. The '93 cobra had the entire GT-40 Package. Heads, Intake, and exhaust setup. Ford rated it at "245hp" but the number was very conservative. Also on a side note, the '93 For Cobra 'R' only 107 produced will basically make the 350 look like a pinto. Stock for stock of course

'93 cobra stock - High 13's good driver
'93 cobra 'R' - low 13's.

350Z 16 something at race city
