do bone stock 88 mustang gt's run 13.9
this loud mouth kid is talking crap to my friend saying he is bone stock and runs a 13.995 i thought they were 14.6-15.3 range

Depends on what his definition of stock is. I really don't think an 88 5.0 could run those times straight off the showroom floor.

Not bone stock. With headers and a x-pipe along with a set of slicks and skinnies I think it could be done...it would take a hell of a 60' though cause w/full exhaust those cars are only trapping 95-96 mph. I'm sure SteveY and Scott9050 will chime in a say they run 13s stock. I have never seen a stock 5.0 run anywhere near 13s - morel ike 14.7-15.6 depending on year/tranny.

There are always factory freaks, BlackHatch's stock Fox went like 14.2X So they exist...
Has he got slips to prove his claim?

Unfortunatley I was never able to run completley stock, as my stock h-pipe was in dire need of replacement when I bought the car.
With just the o/r h-pipe though I was able to click off some 13.9's on the stock width street tires (dunlops) and the stock 2.73's.
Granted I do have quite a weight advantage over gt's and even the lx hatches.
With that being said, if he does have aftermarket headers and a x-pipe I could see one clicking off some 13.9's with the 3.08s'.
If he's telling you the truth, just ask to see his timeslips. I know I always keep my best ones in my glovebox.
EDIT: I forgot to mention my times were run on my stock 160,000 mile engine, drivetrain, suspension etc.

I now own a fox (1993 LX notch) 5.0, and in a lot of research, it isn't likely, but there have been more than a few. it's also entirely possible that the car has some mods without him knowing. A ported lower, underdrives can be put on an virtually undetectable. With Long tubes and an X then yeah, I've heard of more than one guy pulling 13's with those mods.
The mustang is a lot about driver and 60'. I've never seen the ET's with such low traps (and I am used to AWD cars!) Course most stangs on the street have good traps and crap ET's

Technically thats not stock Plus I would *think* from my experience that it would take more than that to get one of those cars into the 13.99 range. But that is my guess from what I have seen....

Stang ran low low 14's with a very ****ty sixty foot time. The traction lock is burned up so my 60ft time was like the 2.3 range and mph was around 98.
That was a completely stock mustang down to the paper air filter and stock air silencer. Stock exhaust, timing, etc.
Mike 92LX was there at the track with me and saw the runs as a couple of other Tealnet.com members.

I agree. Maybe add 3.73 gears too, to get there.

I have never seen a stock 5.0 run anywhere near 13s - morel ike 14.7-15.6 depending on year/tranny.
That's about right for what I've seen.

I forget exactly which year, but I think it was 88, wasn't their a few mustangs made that were stripper cars. Had no accesories, or you could order them like that. I believe one of the mags tested one of the stripper cars and got a 13 sec run out of it.

They called them the "sleepers" because it was a stock class car "no mods" but could run pretty hard
I have an old edition of Mustangs and Fast fords where they chronicled the 5.0L history....pretty good read I will dig it up and get the trap
