They came in no car from the factory. It was sold in the motorsports catalog. The older version of this tranny was called the T5-X. Some shady people try to scam you and call the the T5-X or normal T5's as T5-Z's. "World class" T5's are not T5Z's either, they're normal T5's.

Always check the ID tag of the T5, there are a lot of local low lifes that try to scam you on trannies with no shame.

The "Z" Spec
In about 1993 Ford started offering a new service unit to the motorsport crowd. The "Z" spec T-5, also sometimes referred to as "World Class T-5". Most folks, associate the term "World Class" as meaning the best. The T-5z is a 93 Cobra T-5 with 2.95 first gear set and .63 over drive. It has the best of everything. Hardened gears, short throw shifter, steel front bearing retainer, and tapered output shaft bearing. Best of all it has a torque rating of 330ft/lbs. This T-5 can handle up to 450 hp if not drag raced.
