I had an 87 LX 5.0 it came from the factory with 225 hp ..honest.. I put in 3.73 rear, better clutch, CAI. Drag Radials etc.. and the best that car ever ran was 12.90 @ Englishtown in November (nice cool air) It was a FUN car, and it sure surprised a lot of Buick Turbos at the track...

Now I'm having 10x the fun in my 05 (C6) A4 (ran a best of 11.98 @ 117 mph)....I could have gotten a stick car, but I drag race at the track a lot, & consistency is 90% of winning..so it was an A4 for me (GREAT DECISION) I miss the stick car, but still love my A4...

A-4 with 3.15's?
Still have the 88 GT 5.0 24 years later but with 3.55's. Other than that along with silicone hoses, heavy duty clutch fan, 3 row radiator, Edelbrock Victor waterpump, Crane timing chain and synthetic fluids it's all factory stock.

I'm 100% a Chevy man (except for Lamborghini's) that being said, I actually liked my 87 LX 5.0 as much as my 97 6 speed Camaro... once I got into Vetts's.. ..wellllll there is no comparison...

I'd almost keep my C6 before keeping the wife

I don't restrict myself by different makes of cars.
Really well my 88 5.0 lasted longer than my marriage including the divorce to be final.
My best friend had ordered a stripped 88 5.0 LX no air cond., no power windows or locks and got it out the door just under $10,000. He didn't have any problems with it and put about 108,000 on it and said it was the best car he ever owned.

Nice mustang I'm not a huge fan of mustang's in general due to the fact that they are seen everywhere, but the new 5.0's sure do offer a lot for the money performance wise. I definitely like your setup. Once you move to a 'vette, you'll never be able to go back

Nice. The 5.0 is a great car, and you dressed it well.

Friend has a '12 5.0 with a Hellion Single Turbo system, 702 RWHP at 12 lbs. goes 10.90 with DR's believe the whole system cost less than 7K installed!..... said with a built motor system is good for 1000HP.... I'm impressed....BTW, NASTY looking Mustang!

Parts for Mustang are alot less costly than Corvette.

vigalante

Yes, much cheaper to make them go fast, and with a little Steeda suspension and other options, can run road races easily with a Corvette! But, I doubt they want to hear that here! BUT Corvettes are sexier!

I've been looking into different FI options but I haven't decided on anything yet and if I did it wouldn't be for atleast a year. People are putting up great numbers for very reasonable prices.

I do have my suspension fully modded and it hooks up really nice now. The reason I wanted to get a corvette isn't because the Mustang is slow, I just like the way Corvettes look lol

Great looking 5.0! Nearly identical to mine. Im like you and am a fan of all types of cars. Although my 5.0 isnt the fastest car Ive ever owned it is however my favorite.

LS WON

5.0 will make for a better daily driver than Corvette.

Nice looking Mustang. Test drove a 2013 5.0 a few weeks ago, has great pickup. Considering one of these cars if I can't get my plan for a modded C5 and daily driver to come to fruition.

SLO VETTE

Nice car. I've always wanted a triple black Mustang GT convertible. Love the Vette 'vert, have had one & enjoyed the heck out of it, but I need 4 seats and the Mustang fits that bill.

Ahh, someday...
