Like I said cause Joe XYZ in his manual notch "stock" did it, did not make "foxbodies" quite a bit faster. The actual independent test of true stock cars shows a substantial overlap and sorry if you want a consumer GT auto convertible, they were jokes out off the showroom floor. I've already fairly listed that the late 80s to early 90s were the glory years that performance was roughly comparable. What is that 6 years out of 50... ouch. But wait... most years it was a COMPLETE and TOTAL beat down of the Mustang. but there were 6 glory years there were there was a rough parity, not like we are talking fast LOL.

god, what an ugly car, don't both to torcher yourself it is a 15.7 at 89 MPH and that is a 5 speed, let go ahead and say the auto is 16 flat... 13.9 indeed... and one should note that the lightweight Mustang is light cause the chassis is flimsy, and what held the rear end from scooting side to side? NOTHING. Funny if you ever watch one on the autoX. Meanwhile GM had a really good 3 link with panhard rod. GM had for the most part a twin arm front vs the el chepo but light Fairmont struts. But yep sans handling and chassis flex the Fox notch was light... good for drag racing, not exactly a performance suspension, how could it be, it is from a Fairmont wagon. Once again GM absolutely dominated in the suspension category, unless one went to the late 90s with the Cobra and it was not like that IRS was very much better than the standard GM 3 link... which BTW Ford adopted in 2005 funny right?
