I know a kid that has a stock '83 GT with headers and exhaust. My '88 LX just has exhaust. I'm going to race him soon and a buddy of mine is going to record it. I'll see if I can post it up here for you guys. Who do you think will win?

Assuming that they've both got a 5.0 in them, what type of transmissions do you each have. Either way I'm going to put my money on you.

Depends on the condition of the '83. Those cars I believe were rated at 200 or 205 hp, but they had restrictive cast iron manifolds (if my memory serves me right), so adding headers to the '83 WILL make a noticable change, not to mention your 88 weighs about 700lbs more than his 83. I also think that ford for 82-84 put in what they called a "marine" cam which had more lift and duration than the non mustang 302's. Do you have headers on yours? At any rate, I think itll be a good race, should be close, I think itll come down to the drivers.

it wont be close. you will pull on him in every gear, without problem.

I think you are wrong sir!

It will be a drivers race.

ull win as long as you can shift. also i dont think the 83 5.0 is the H.O. so ur all set
and the lx is lighter too cuz it doesnt have all the body kit weight

this from the guy that said the 83s have 205 hp¿ ha!

i have an 83. i know what their numbers are. i know what a race between one and a roller blocked mustang will turn out like. and its called a flat tappet cam. and how in the hell can you say that the 83 is 700 pounds lighter¿ really man, lay off the crack.

and dammit, yes, the 83 was a h.o. motor

come on people, its really not hard to do a simple search and you will find out any information you may want about any year of mustang
