You won't lose to a stock 4th gen Celica, V6 3rd gen's, Older 5.0 stangs, thunderbird V6's, N/A dsm's (first gens), Older Cavie's (2nd gens), Luminas, older Grand Prix's and Grand Ams. Lots of cars out there that you can beat. I'm assuming that you at least have a 5.0 TBI, right?

older 5.0 stangs? i hope your talkin about the mid 70's 'stangs that look like **** because even the carbed 302 in the early 80's were semi-fast.

If its a stock RS camaro. Only race from stop lights or slow speeds. Cause the LO3 has crazy torque on the low end. But the power stops at like 4 or 5K. And that means at higher speeds and RPM many cars will pass you.

Yeah whoever said you would beat 5.0 Mustangs is probably wrong.. You gotta admit, those 5.0 Fox Bodies are pretty quick and just about any stock 305 is gonna be meat for one(except maybe TPI not sure)

cbpldc

Either I've been running into some dog-slow 5.0's or my car is a freak of nature. I was the one who said you could beat the older 5.0 stangs. I raced an 84 or something around that year (not up on my Mustang history) it had t-tops, the big open healight coves and a 5.0 sticker in a black stripe running down the side of it. We went from a light and I just pulled away from him without beating my car up too badly. Shifted at 4500 and all he saw were my tail-lights. It might have been a beater though, but it sounded good. No BS here......

if you keep the races down to little stop light sprints to about 40 you can hang with a bunch of people. beyond that the stock LO3 has, shall we say, some short comings.
all you really need is some gear and little stuff to hang it out at a lot of stop lights.

“Fallen But Not Forgotten”

buddman91rs

the 5.0 TBI's were meant to run with the LX 5.0's of the day, not GT's translating from ford to gmyou can see which cars competed with which:

RS 5.0 = LX 5.0

Z28 5.0 = GT 5.0

IROC 5.7 = Cobra 5.0

you can run with the cars straight across with little or no mods, once you go diagonal and try to race a cobra with your stock tbi your gonna get stomped unless you've got some mods

the LX fox bodies were lighter and just as poweful as the GT. so saying the RS was built for competition with them is ludicrous.

the RS wasn't built for competition with anything. by the engine choices and trim available with the RS it was built as a car ti DRIVE.. the street cruising scene. Looks good, sounds good, and can be FUN to drive, by no means fast. I have beat GT's with my RS, I have beat cars on the highway, but I'm by no means confused about my cars performance.

My 305 tpi stock hung with my aunts 89 5.0,it was really neck in neck,but with some little mods i think i can get stock 5.0s without much trouble,i will know soon as my trans swap and shift kit are done,also my chip is in too,i have lots of other little stuff but have yet to install it,the good thing abotu 5.0 stangs is they are lighter, remember for every 100 pounds its about .1 tenth in the quarter,they also breathe better then a 5.0 camaro,free up the exhaust and intake on the tpi and it will help alot.

My 305 TBI hung with a newer 911, from a stoplight. But at about 120 MPH, the porsche went into second gear and just ever so slowly started to pull away..... GOD... if only i had 10 more horsepower. By the way, my car is an auto, So it launches like a FA& backpedling through a cornfield with his pants dangling around his ankles. If anyone wants to see the mod list to take 911 porsches with the 305's, email me. The best part of it all, is that my car got a kickin trailor hitch. OHHHHHH YYYYEEESSSS, CAAAANNN IIIIII ...

305TBI is a pathetic exsample of a V8.305TPI-5speed/350TPI F-bodies were the solution to the Mustang 302/5.0 problem.
Unfortunately the Ford 302 is a formadable platform. Modded, the 302 is capable of much more than the GM 305, all things being equal. I don't know if your RS is a V6 or 305TBI, but a sh*tstang w/5.0 of any year is something to watch out for. Just as we mod our TAs/Irocs, the Ford lovers mod their 5.0s.
Good Luck

yeah so what that STOCK 305 tbi is weak but a modded one can be a good motor. I love people like you who under estimate a tbi. i dont really have to many mods. But there are some respectable 305 tbi's on this board and even some 350 tbi's and 383 tbi's i realize you only said 305 tbi but still dont diss the tbi.Our cars break way less then the tpi's and USUALLY last longer.

pimpintheRS

oh yeah if you have the 305 tbi i wouldnt race to much stock modify your car then race. if it is the 6 your screwed . start thinking about a swa because that 6 is weak

PONTIMANIAC 90

Pimpin': I didn't mean to dis the 305TBI owners in any way. I meant that in stock trim, the 305TBI is a lousy performer,especially in heavy car like an F-body. Throttle Body Injection is an inferior system altogether. I'm talking about "stock trim". It was designed to be like a low emissions carburator, except it produced less power. Not my fault.Inherently, TBI is a lousy system, by todays standarts.Thats all I meant.
So don't take it personally.

JaysZee

My sister had a '84 GT 5.0 auto. with either a carb or TBI. That car was slooooooow. Her husband tried to race my '86 MC SS when it was stock and I slapped him silly.
On a side note, Hot Rod did a build up of a '89 RS 5.0 TBI 5 spd. In stock form, it ran 15.77 @ 86.79, after the build up 14.27 @ 96.6 on street tires.

The problem with the L03 is not the injection. It is with the heads/cam combo. Also, the TBI's are restricted by their intake and exhaust manifolds and also by their stock air cleaner assembly. I think with a little better intake on my car, I could be running with stock L98's. I have the exhaust problem solved with headers and a flowmaster exhaust. I am also working on a TPI style intake for TBI's.

I would consider my TBI to be pretty respectable, and those who have seen/heard/ ridden in my car can attest to that. I like the simplcity and reliability of the TBI system, and i will continue to stick with it until my combo just gets too big and nasty for that injection system. Yeah, you don't have many TBI cars running 9's, but you don't see too many cars running 9's with 140,000 trouble free miles on them either.

Pre '85 Fox-body Mustangs are not that fast. They didn't even have the 5.0 in '80 & '81. They had a 255 ci v8! Even the first FI 5.0 in '86 only had 200 hp. 1987 and up are the years to watch out. The '85 5.0 had a carb, but more power than '83-'84. The '82 5.0 is very slow. The '79 is a joke! My '97 v6 will dust any stock pre '87 'stang. Don't make me break out the '89 TA!

ImportsRsloths better get a new jegs catalog. Mine has a section for LS1/LT1 not just stangs. Anyway having a section dedicated to mustangs in summit could mean that mustangs need alot of parts. They need the parts because bonestock they arent that great. I owned a 89GT and now i have a 90formula both totally stock. The gt had a 5-speed the formula has an auto. They run about the same but the formula is a better car. They are both good street cars. The gt is heavier than the LX but the extra weight of the GT is in the hatchback right over the rear tires.

Both Jegs and Summit have special junkstang sections because everything else is for Chevys

My previous car was a 92 RS LO3 5spd. and all it had was a hypertech chip(no hp gain) and muffler removed. I raced it quite often and beat many cars. nothing serious. just an xtream s10, a V6 fourth gen several other cars a v6 thirdgen(god i killed it!) a very heavily modded ***** not sure what it was, but i beat him up to about 60mph then he started pulling away. i was beat by a turbo eclipse by about 3 car lengths.
I just bought a 91 RS auto and have yet too see how much faster the 5spd was
