Here is a Fox Body taking on a Gen 5.

Nice. Notchback ftw. I've owned three different fox mustangs. 92 gt, 93 lx 5.0, and 93 cobra.

That little car was mooovvviiinnngg!

Man I love those fox bodies.

My first car was a 79 hatchback Mustang. My husband's first car was a 76 Camaro. Now, he has the Mustang and I have the Camaro...

We have had several, but the 90s model Mustangs were the fastest.

Creepy. I had a 92 gt <black>, 93 lx 5.0 notch <red>, 93 cobra <red> too. Also owned a black 2010 SS camaro like you. I traded it for a black ZL1 which looks similar to your Camaro as you added ZL1 parts. Are you copying me?

Fox Bodies are my favorite Mustang to destroy. They think they've got you just because they weigh less, well so does an anemic sprinter.

Dr. Love · 11-03-2012, 09:26 AM

They do have a distinct advantage because they are light. That just means everyone else has to figure out where they can shed a few pounds and what they can mod to get the most torque/hp.

That was a crappy video

Camaros are just crappy drag platforms.
Way too much weight.
Foxbodys are one of the best drag platforms out there.

That vid brings back memories of running my 92 notch back in the day. There was some fast stangs but also some very fast camaro's I will have to find my old time slips but I think 6.2@110 in the 1/8 on a 275 dot radial and I was always the last place quailfyer.lol the fast radial guys ran 5.5 with their street legal stangs. One turbo camaro was always the man to beat a orange 87 camaro IROC . There is just something special about doing wheelies as it is so much fun with these cars.

IROCs were fast. I had one, and absolutely loved it. That's one of the few cars I wish I had never gotten rid of.
