Lt1 - 5.0
I dont like to magazine race but in 94 motortrend got a 94 camaro z28 m6 to run a 14.2.The Mustang GT ran a 15.1.So that does kinda back me up there(lol).The lt1 was definetly faster than .5(half a second) or lower than the Mustang Gt.In 93-94 the LT1 had a 60 horsepower advantage over the 5.0 GT (215 versus 275).I have never heard of a bone stock 5.0 breaking into the 13's with no mods.It is hard enough to get some LT1's in the high 13's.If a 5.0 did run a 13.9 it would be about as rare as an LS1 running a 12 second 1/4...VERY VERY RARE....Here is a link of posted 1/4 mile times by magazines...http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html

I was just stating what I felt were facts(lol).The LT1 basically owns the 5.0 and I dont think it would surprise anyone if an LT1 ran .8 faster than a 5.0 with equal drivers.Dont scold me for being a bit biased toward the Camaro over the Mustang (lol).
Don't need Bob's timeslips, it's been done numerous times by many many people. Only idiots magazine race. On another note, some of the new children on here probably don't remember our "other" Bob (Robert AKA Backinblack) who drove his 6spd LT1 to a 13.XX at 107 with just a catback. A lot of people called him out, but it was witnessed by countless others. Saying a 5.0 runs one time or another discounts transmission options, gear options, body style, options etc. A stock Mustang 5.0 can run anywhere from low 14's to low 16's depending on these variables.
That is pathetic as I drove a well worn AOD free mods only 5.0 to a 14.59. Hell, my heavy *** (4236 with me in it) 94 Mark VIII ran a 14.651 at 97.21, and it had a 3.07 open rear!!! There is also density altitude and track conditions to consider, it can mess with times badly. On my above runs the track was prepped properly, though I have been to track in Michigan that were like glass.
