just as the post says i wanna know if its as fast as a 5.0 or not

nanaki can tell you it is

i thought so because i had a 1987 thunderbird turbo coupe and it was 5-speed with the 2.3 and that thing was fast as hell, but i never found a stock 5.0 or close to stock one to race

They arnt fast as hell. They run 16's stock. Stock for stock, a 5-speed mustang will **** all over a Turbo Coupe.

It took a handful of mods for me to be able to run 5.0's.

well Im sure any car can beat anycar with money put into the car

but stock .. HeL* no !

but Im in the process of building my 2.3L I was gonna get rid of the engine but then saw a few videos on this site 2.3's are hard ta make fast for cheap but when you do the right combination of mods to them they MOVE .....

time period stock vs. stock yes they will out run short but will run out quick and in all real purpose of racing they actually run out of gear before power

HO DE DO! You saying you got a higher top speed than a GT? A GT can out run a 2.3T just by chasing him down.
Sooooooooooooooooo

yea thats true but cant you just break the speedometer set and like change it ,, kind like hacking into the system or something like that

cuz my lx can only go 85 mph .. TOP ! ..lol

but I heard I could change that ??

lol, just because your speedo says it only goes 85 tops doesn't mean it can go farther mine has barried the needle. It only took a strong wind, about 17 miles, and a hill going down but it still did it.
