Foxbody 5.0 question

How much horsepower do the 5.0 GT Foxbodies have stock? Anyone know stock 1/4 mile times?

My parents have a vacation home up north and sometimes I like to use it for parties. Well, this past time we had some of the locals come over for some pool, beer, bon fire, etc.... One started running his mouth about how slow my Charger is and his EVO VIII could kill it. He wanted me to put money down on a race, I told him I will just mess around with him, no money. Long story short, 2 races from a 15 roll... I won both. 1 race from a light, I started to gain on him around 45mph, we had to slow down the two lanes merged, so he won.

Some other kid starts up how this 5.0 Mustang in town would own my car. All that is done to it is exhaust. I never met the owner of this car, but I have seen it.

I am not saying my Charger is the fastest car around, but it does have some balls.
 
1985 had 210
1986 had 200
1987-1992 had 225
1993 was rated at 205.

They ran somewhere around low-mid 14's with a stick.
 
Even though they don't have much horsepower the torque was awesome. I gave a bunch of SRT-4's a run for their money off of a light when I had mine, but once their turbos spooled up in second gear I was done for.
 
dude stock 5.0's were not that fast but a t-5 car with a good driver and maybe a gear and other essential fox body mods and the car will run hard.... but chances are you'll walk all over him:icon_frow
 
Yeah they were quick for the time but now everything seems to have 300hp...

well besides those 2000'sh expeditions...
lol
