For Ford you want a the GT40 stuff you gotta buy the Cobra, you don't want the SOHC, you gotta buy the Cobra, don't want the 302 2 bbl Windsor, you gotta buy the CJ. Not so with GM and to lesser extent Ma Mopar. I don't remember the prices of a 92 Cobra v F body, but clearly the LT1 4th gen were about the same price:

So I forget, the thread is so long some Mustang guy complains that I can't use the 85, I do know the 93 was a blow out SS vs GT, as it was a blowout SS vs Cobra. So what year do I need again? Too funny. I found an 1987 here:
Yep the LX notch (lightest with optional gear) is faster 14.6 vs 14.9 for the "slow 5.0 Fbody". Wow blowout there.... not. We all know if the Mustang were a GT Convertible even with the 5 speed, it would have been substantially slower, and any auto Ford anything would be a complete blowout right? So is this the year, don't want to get Mustang guys all mad at me that clearly with the right option the Mustang is arguable faster than the 5.0 manual Fbody. Wow, over 50 years. GM was slacking in 87, unless of course it was a Mustang GT auto vs a 350 IROC which would a complete rape or any other of the many combinations, nope a notch LX, manual with 3.08 was shown to be faster by .3 vs a manual 5.0 FBody, yep complete dominance.
