Default how fast would a 5.0 waste me

theres this jerk around town and hes got a 5.0 mustang, dunno what year, but its from the80s like my car. it might be stock, but i think it has mods. how badly would i lose to a stock one. cuz i might dump in a 350 with a good 330 to 360 hp hopefully.

eh, the stock ones usually run low 15s with the odd driver running into the high 14s if hes damn lucky. some guys will tell you they run 12s stock (i had that convo many times when i had my 4.6 ) but no, stock they are dogs. not that the stock 305 was any better..... I dont know what your car will run, but those are the numbers for the fox

Why do think they call it a 5 point slow? Not much respect for stock Fox bodies. Easy to mod though.

Cheap and easy to mod. But stock to todays standers they are slow. 20 years ago low 15s or some what respective but now if your not runing low 14s or better your alittle behind the bar. the 93-95 are the worst years for the 5.0.
