you will rape the 96.
and im not sure about the performance on the other one but you should keep up with him.

 

it was a 98 cobra N/A motor, thought it was a 2000 sorry

 

To be quite honest, if you can drive, the only Mustang that you need to be worried about is one that's supercharged.

 

well my buddys had me race a 96 cobra with unknown mods i beat him by half a car and then i raced a little 5.0 with only an intake that little car would launch on me hard he beat me like 2 and i won like twice but it was fast is it likely he only had an intake?

 

Sounds like you guys are doing this on the street? Take it to the dragstrip, absolutely roast the street tires get them as hot as possible, when you launch try around 3000 rpms and if it holds well move up, powershift into third and forth even second if you can feather the throttle to keep the spinning down. You should turn some good times but experience is everything, you have to be comfortable with your car. When the tree lights up the last yellow light go ahead and come out that will cut down the reaction time. The more aggressive you drive the car the faster it will go, try to break something, drive it harder than anyone else ever has...its a chevy thats what its made to do. The foxbodies are pretty strong usually 225hp 300tq and they are relatively lightweight 3200lbs. 7 tenths of a hp per pound. the camaro has 8 tenths per pound the torque is similar so all things said you should have beaten a stock foxbody. They have been around for so long that it is actually hard to find a foxbody that hasnt been tampered with but you would need to know what to look for, can you distinguish the sound of a cam from a loud exhaust?

 

ya lol im pretty good at hearing cams lol haha and a exhaust he had neither lol

 

well he had something under his hood that was mean.
the only thing that fox has on you is less weight.
