There is a lot of foxbody haters out there but I will always have a soft spot for them. I know your average shitbox has more horse power and moms minivan can go 0-60 in the same time but these were just about untouchable back in the day and are still fun as hell to drive today. They are cheaper than a drug habit and will get you in less trouble than a hooker and are more fun than both of them put together so that's why I have two of them.

I have to admit i've warmed up to the fox platform over the past decade or so. I've been a camaro owner almost all of my adult life and daily a ZL1. But every now and then I come across a 5.0 5-spd on Facebook or Craigslist and I pause and think about it. One of these days i'll probably pull the trigger on one but i've got other project vehicles in line to work on.

@rodmunch692 жыл бұрын
Yeah, in 1993, that's really good - faster than I thought they'd be as breaking 6-seconds was a huge deal back then. As for the looks - I think it looks much better now than it did at the time. I'd have been 18 at the time, and I thought the Mustang looked really old and dated compared to the new GM ponies. Now I'd say it looks better - not that I was ever a big fan of that car, it always looked cheap to me. I did own a 1982 Mustang at one point, it was truly a POS, so maybe that negatively flavors my opinion.

Humble Wisdom 4.10’s are great in these cars. Great in Trans-Am/Firebird, Camaro’s, and Corvettes too (or 4.11’s). Had them in my C5 Corvette with the T-56 transmission. It enabled me to hit an indicated 210 mph (I know that sounds unbelievable but it’s true). I had ~550 whp. The factory 3.42 gearing would top out around 175-180 in 5th but 6th was too tall to pull; the shorter gearing allowed it to pull in 6th. It also helped it pull harder off the line.

I worked at an auction when we got several 95 Mustang Cobra CSVs ( customer service vehicles) with meant vehicles driven by Ford employees in Michigan. We got several other unique units like that, like F-150 Lightnings and Thunderbird SCs. That being said; they were either abused or babied. We also had GM vehicles and the V-8 Camaros stomped the Mustang GTs, but that Cobra was a special snake as were the future ones in the next few years. Ford should've capitalized on that at that time.

My sister got a black/w graphite interior 93 Cobra with 9,612 miles on it sitting in her garage. Her husband purchased the car brand new in May 1993 the day before Mothers day. Drove it and put 6,888 miles on it, put it up for the winter and never drove it again, due to the fact that he was killed in an accident in February 1994. To this day she only drive it to get it washed from sitting in her garage collecting dust, or for a short drive to keep the battery up and keep brakes from locking up.

The elevation is 935’ at my local track and it was mid 60* weather when I ran 13.88@100 in my 94 Z28 M6. The best results from testing 0-60 I’ve seen on my year Z was 5.7 but more typically I see 5.8-6 seconds. From a dig a fox body about this quick will take me out of the hole until some place in 2nd gear and then I creep by. From a rolling start like 20 and I’m in 1st I eat him up and walk. Those fox bodies launch great. When a car with 50 less hp and 50lbs less torque can run with or beat you light to light.. the suspension is doing work! The fox was my arch enemy from when I started driving in 1993. I had a 1968 Impala 327/275. Flip the air cleaner lid and I bet it was close to 300hp. The inlet on the air cleaner assembly was about the size of a half dollar and the car ran way harder after about 2500 rpm so that and dual exhaust and I beat many 5.0 fox all from a roll but I’d pull them hard. I also beat a C4 Vette who took a running start from my rear bumper from about 70 and he got about half way past me as I shifted drive and started creeping right back by him with 3 witnesses in my car. Next was my 84 Monte SS and I got my ass kicked every time except for a cavalier3.1 5spd which I barely beat and I barely beat my buddy in his 3.1 94 camaro then got my 94 Z28 and beat lots of cobra, fox 5.0, Buick t-type, 95 Trans Am auto highway roll from 70 beat him bad, early 70s ElCamino 454 that I saw running 14.0@98 at the strip. Older guy kept stalking me around town and I finally caught up with him on a 10mph roll it was fed even except for every time I’d powershift my Z would jump ahead about 2.5’-3’ and I ended up pulling him to about my rear axle. That was a great race. Next thing you know a few weeks later I see his work truck with a small block on an engine stand with fresh Chevy orange paint. After that he was running 11s and I never saw him on the street anymore. It was cooler with the big block but he couldn’t have a young guy around town whoopin on him lmao. Hope you enjoyed the read. The Z was beat once by a T-Bucket with what sounded about like a stock truck engine (abc) but don’t weigh much. At the light the guy asked if my car had a 305.. I was thinking he doesn’t know much about newer cars. I took off hard out of the hole he responded and it fell on its face for a second as the secondaries opened... typical quadrajet that needs a little more spring pressure adjusted but as soon as it got past that he walked me.. more of a jog lol but I had to try.

Camaro fan here.... But I LOVE the '93 Cobra big time. By far the best looking Mustang ever. Clean and modern for the day. I've owned many Camaros and hated Mustangs when I was young. Loved to beat them and hated it when I lost to one. My first Camaro was a new '84 Z28 5.0 HO 5 speed and it was very fast in the day.....had it for 6 years. Raced many friends with 5.0 Mustangs and beat most. My buddy had an '87 5.0 Mustang LX 5 speed and that was the closest to my Camaro, almost identical every time. Quicker then the GT's in my experience. In '93 the Cobra was crazy expensive and no where near the car that the '93 Z28 was of course…. but I would love to own one now. LOVE the 93 Cobra!

I have a 1983 4 eyed fox. She is the 3rd mustang I have owned and it's a GT 302 4bbl tremec 5 speed. You can wind up those 302s all day long and not kill them. My 1990 LX notch back was quicker outta the hole but the 83 has mid range power that's impressive. I can get to 80 mph in 3rd gear easily and have had her going 133 mph but had to back out of her because Texas wind gust almost blew me off the road LOL. Fucking YIKES. I am older so I love the fact that I can drive it daily without the backseat. Just black carpet from the buckets to the tail lights. Also I love the dual ram air set up into my Edelbrock 4bbl. She always gets to drink fresh cool air. It was sold brand new and spent her whole life in Texas, zero rust anywhere but Texas heat killed the paint. Factory a/c car and still turns her compressor. I just love the aggressive look of the 4eye fox. I respect all the real made to get after it cars but this car is simple to work on, old school cool and really does haul the mail.
