I bought a 2018 GT premium edition last year. Took a coworker for a spin. When I hammered it and went sideways, literally for 2.5 seconds, he screamed like a little girl. I laughed about that for a week. I love that car.
Lol. watch this video now a days and first thought is "man, forgot how good that thing sounded" second thought is "can't believe I thought that was fast" haha. them were the days.
+XArmy187 I'll tell ya, after owning a lot of fast cars.. I always miss the first one. Not because it was the fasted, but because it sure as hell felt like it. hahaha
"its a lot harder when its cold"--best line ever heard from the FRONT seat of a Mustang. Like a 1955 Chevy, there's so little weight to overcome initially, giving it its feeling of speed. I still have my 1986 GT, they were always a tin can with a truck engine for torque and "a little cam" for idle. In the days of Total Performance, Ford preferred a lot of head port (Clevelands, Boss, etc) and a relatively tame cam.
WOW! That girl looked better last night, the next morning why'll taking her home...Woooofff! Just kidding bro LOL awesome video. That mustang sounds good
Thanks! Convertibles can be heavier, but not by much, my car is 3,090lbs compared to 2006 mustangs, the hardtops are 3,500 to 3,600 pounds. Gears, exhaust, intake, bump the timing, and some good tires will make the car almost 2 seconds quicker in the 1/4 mile from a completely stock car, and shouldn't cost more then $1000 if you buy used stuff, and take your time to find parts to save money. My exhaust from headers to catback cost $275 total.
Looking back watching this video, watched it all the time when I was like 13 wanted a foxbody badd😂 I think now I've had probably 6 of them sense then video brings back old memories!
Rated and subscribed! The sound is absolutely visceral from the inside and I bet sounds just as menacing on the outside of the car. Love it, hope to see some more videos from ya man!
Thanks for the memory, I miss my '85 5.0 HO 3 stage turbo......love the sound of a mustang....wife crashed mine....too much power for the poor girl.....love the stangs..great viid
Nostalgia I can appreciate. I had a '90 5.0 during my young years. Nostalgia is a restored vehicle that looks as good now as it did when manufactured. This rat trap doesn't qualify.
sounds good man, I miss my old 93 gt with cam and heads and bolt ons. Sounded just like that. Always thought it was so fast until i bought my 300c SRT-8. Thats a whole diff animal. it takes alot to make the old foxbody 5.0's actually fast. Sound is one thing but actually fast is another. But remember "everybodys idea of fast is different"
@@theradchase3094 As much as I hate to say it or even think it, stock for stock it is no match. The SRT8 beats a foxbody every time. Even with basic bolt ons on the foxbody, the SRT8 still wins. Now, the newer coyotes, different story.
@Xarmy187 thanx for gettin back to me, i have a simular build in mind but im going to run AFR 185's and a comp cam maybe not sure yet, sounds great and pulls hard bro!
I love the sound of these foxes! I miss my '89 5.0 vert sometimes, but my bolt-on and tuned '99 GT looks cooler and is way faster. (Not faster than yours, but compared to stock...)
@1WLDBRD lmao! haha, I wanted to drive the car ASAP, not put interior pieces together first :) its all together now. you can see it in my newest videos. put gauges under the radio.
Nice get up in the 5.0. I heard you say 1st and 2nd gear's useless. Your probably running 3.73's or 4.10's I use to have 3.73's I prefer the 3.55's that I have now. If your a good driver you can hang with a 3.73 car with 3.55's.
@@tonychipelo8240 The steering wheel, dash, gauges, hazard lights on the right side of the steering wheel, all tell tale signs of a Fox. You must not have ever ridden in one. What else could it be? Obviously it's not a '72 and the SN95s and up had a contour dash that said 'Mustang' and 'SRS'.
lol, car wasn't tuned, had just got it back together. it picked up over 30rwhp after a tune. And yes, cold, warm, whatever this car would destroy the tires in second. Most the "breaking loose in second gear" wasn't even half throttle in first. its got 4.10's you can't give it full in first unless you are on drag radials
man, really makes me want my 89 back, oh how i miss her. nice car though for sure. she pulls like mine did. im gonna get one soon again! all these fox vids are just makin me eat myself up lol
Pretty cool how you can hear the cams really start kicking hard at around 2400 rpm at 2:13 when they hit their powerband... awesome car dude. Sounds great.
I have a 65 coupe a 94 5.0 , and 99 35th anniversary. Just need a Fox Body and set to go. Like what you did it . The performance AND sounds of a MUSTANG built right. Music to my ears.
Man, reminds me of my 92 notch. Fox Lake port matched TF heads & Systemax intake, LT's, & Ed Curtis custom grind stick. Sounds like u have Flowmaster exhaust. Thanks for the vid...complete interiors r 4 slow cars 😉
man my first 2 cars were fox body 5.0s (89 and a 93) both gt's the 89 was supercharged and built and i damn sure dont miss that god damn rattling that u can hear in yours haha my srt8 charger that i have now damn sure makes it hard to want another mustang!
I really hope that you still own this gem 🤞.. I have wanted a Foxbody since I was 8yrs old and my father's friend took me for a ride in his. He used to go race it on the weekends and I heard he was one of the fastest cars there for a few years. Anyways thanks for sharing this with us. 🙏🍻
Appreciate it. I do still have the car, but its been put on the back burner for quite a while. I have a 2013 mustang thats supercharged and gets all the love lol I use to watch a guy tear out of his yard almost everyday in a fox, its what got me fascinated by them. then owning one i got obsessed .
@@Xarmy187 Nice, Well good luck with them both.. I'm still hoping to get my hands on a LX Hatch Foxbody that isn't beat to hell or rotted out lol.

@metalman302 yup! cant garentee the same results as my car, but I would get the TFS2 cam. only problem with it is it is hard to tune said my tuner. so if its your every day drive to work car, I would get the tfs1. otherwise get the stage 2 4.10's in the rear
@MrRedsperm I think its at 16 degrees. its dyno tuned now with a chip. so the base timing is at 10, but the chip advances the timing though the computer.

I love this stuff... reminds me why Im a car guy. I got a Camaro but I got nothing but love for the Fox bodies too! Believe it or not a similar stunt got me a "Too Fast For Conditions" ticket gassing it through the first two gears on an interstate on ramp. What a bunch of BS.
@Xarmy187 thank you! finally, someone with some damn sense and practicality is on youtube. nobody goes around driving the hell out of their cars like they're in lemans or rally racing. we all can't be sponsored and afford to burn up clutches and tires. you deserve to have your mustang, sir.

@1965mustangfb really depends on how wild you go. but a mild build will make 350-400rwhp and cost about 7,000 if you do everything right, not including a transmission, rearend, or suspension that can take it.
