I think 13.7's, what where GTO's running in the 1/4 mile during '87-'93?.....Oh wait, they didn't have them, that's weird.

that makes no sense, and stock foxbodys run in the 14's without slicks. You cannot compare the two, totally different cars in every way.

Is this going to be another one of those "Fox bodies are gods creation and nothing is better than it" threads?


Gto's are very decent cars for a decent price. nice interior, newer reliable car. I'd take one over most mustangs up to 2011.

If your race car has 20k invested and only runs 11's, no wonder you went to something else.. There is a turbo gto running around stockton with a shitload of mods. 1 being a turbo, to bad he runs mid 11's. 20k car + 14k in mods to run mid 11's. That has fail written all over it.

quick to be negative. I'm also counting all the money in parts that have been bought and later upgraded again. It is built for 10's, but it has a conservative tune right now because the 42lb. Injectors and mass air are maxed out. I only got to run it once with the new set up when my supercharger belt snapped at the end of the first run and had a horrible 60 ft. Everyone that day had shitty 60 fts, sac track conditions were slick.

lol that's why I said around, just an estimate. The short block 347 alone cost 4k, the TKO500 cost 2k, vortech s-trim kit, all supporting mods, suspension, brakes, wheels, gauges, exhaust, etc. All new parts. Yuuup, around 20k easy

Consevative tune, let's call it what it is. U been robbed if your 20k fox can't go 10s. I think racirx did a turbo build much less than that and went 9s. Just sayin

It trapped 126 mph so it has the potential with a better 60 ft. Just need the seat time. It's not like I took it to a shop and gave them 20k and said "here, make it a race car" lol. This is over time, every penny spent on everything over the years, including parts that didn't work out and are no longer on the car. If I started over and did it the right way the first time, then ofcoarse it wouldn't cost that much to get it in the tens. So if you guys wanna be sensitive about it, right now as of sits, it has about around 10k-12k in it if you want to be technical...Fuck... lol. I'm not a noob when it comes to cars, especially mustangs. And no I'm not mad lol

Thanks, it is, its come a long way, a lot of blood sweat and tears (literally) as the same with a lot of cars on this site. I don't discriminate over make, Hell I don't discriminate at all. I'm not ignorant, I grew up around and to love American musclecars. I'm not just a mustang enthusiast, I'm a car enthusiast. Hope I didn't offend any sensitive people here [patriot]
