You'd see 17s on some foreign sports cars with smaller wheel wells and gaps. That's why the US automakers had to catch up, but some folks like that 14" rims sunken all deep into the wheel well look. My 86 Monte had 14x6 175/70s on it, first thing I did was find some deep dish corvette rallys with 255/55 tires. Looked so much better that way.

Javi P Times have changed. Haha. The automatic 5.0s were significantly slower than the 5 speed cars, but even the 5 speeds are not particularly fast by today's standards. Another thing to consider is the fact that Motor Week's test drivers were never particularly hard on the cars. Other magazines were often able to far surpass the numbers of Motor Weeks tests. That said, Motor Week reviews are the best in my opinion because they have such a comprehensive list of retro reviews available to us today.

Rabbi Schlomo Essentially. They tend to launch and shift rather gently. Or if they don't launch gently they launch too hard and get massive wheelspin. The driving styles vary slightly from one review to the next, but the numbers are never on par with the actual capabilities of each vehicle. Their results are still a good reference point and the reviews are the best!

30 years later it's settled. Foxbodies look best with 18" staggered wheels, just like G-body Camaros and Monte Carlos look best on 20" staggered irocs. And yes, 15" wheels with fat ass 55 or 60 series tires can remain back in the past. That's why even as a kid I thought the euro cars were so cool, they didn't look so sloppy with tiny wheels and bulging wheel wells.

The old Fox Body Mustangs were the best bang for the buck during the 80's and early 90's. Still a hugely popular boy-racer car to this day. Easy to work on, plentiful parts and strong drivetrains. Worst thing was the self adjusting clutch linkage which was plastic, and would break. Stock brakes were also subpar but easily upgradable. My neighbor had an 88 GT 5 speed. Fun car to drive, even in stock tune.

Massive oil leaks and consumption, cam wear, timing chain failures, plug fouling...then again some were downright unstoppable! Especially in trucks. Funny how they were once so common.

Wow, I love some of these throwbacks because these were shows that I would have watched back when they originally aired, if my parents would have had cable! I just aged myself really badly, didn't I? lol. Anyway.... I find it really interesting that I found this episode two days after I ran into an 85 or 86 Saleen on the street. I didn't race him or anything, but it was quite cool to see a fox body in that nice of shape, and for it to be a Saleen makes it quite rare. One of just a few hundred, even. I was perhaps, even more impressed to see him actually driving it and enjoying it. It is also stunning to see the prices of the upgrades from both ASC and Saleen. Considering that neither of them did any engine modifications (besides exhaust on the Saleen), the prices are staggering even by today's standards. Nevertheless, it made me look, and I hope to run into him again so that I can talk with him about the car and look closer at it. If it really is an original 85, then it is 1 of 140 cars produced. That's pretty rare. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Bump the timing and install a cold air intake and it should see 14 flat.

+KlipschHead281 It's a Motorweek thing. They always seem to get the worst acceleration and quarter mile times of any publication during testing. 14.1- 14.7 are more common test times in other publications of the time with 0-60 times usually around 6.0-6.2 for the manual trans and 6.7-7.1 automatic. Most of the people I knew with the old 5.0 were running low to mid 13s with underdrive pulleys, air box silencer removed, cat-back exhaust (usually Flowmaster) and 3.73 gears. My cousin had an '88 Saleen convertible with optional underdrive pulleys and a cat back exhaust ( I think it was Dynomax) back then. I remember he payed like 28K and it was black and awesome.

I got some parts off of a 3rd Pace Car that I later figured out was probably a 500 Festival car. Last six of the VIN was 480054. It had a two digit number sticker on the back of the rear view mirror. It was a shell the last time I saw it and I think it was crushed around 1991 or so.

I totally agree even my auto 92 gt stock does 6.5 to 60 and 96 mph quarter mile at 14.2 secs.. These guys maybe used old tech to measure times.

Nobody's dreaming. Were you around back then? I had a 85 Mustang GT, an 88 LX 5.0 and a 89 Saleen which I still have. Stock time for the 85 GT was 14.8 and the 88 LX 5.0 ran a 14.5 . My 89 Saleen ran a 14.1 with a few mods like cam, ported stock heads. CAI and headers.

281cobra you should really think about adding a 93 Cobra to your collection that car should be able to run High 13 stock

This is a cut and paste from my other account "Deacon blue". I remember back in 93 I went looking for a new 93 Cobra. If I remember correctly MSRP was $21,500. The last Cobra on the lot had already been sold but they did have some new Saleen's on the showroom floor. They were going for $30,000 which was a little out of my price range. Then I jokingly asked if they had any used Saleen's on the lot. The salesman said you know what? We do have one out back and brought up a 89 Saleen. After a great test drive, I decided to buy the Saleen instead of the Cobra. The only advantage the 93 Cobra had over the 89 Saleen was the 235 hp engine.

Saleen and ASC McLaren provide two 1988 modified Mustangs for comparison.

The 86 McLaren Capri ran a 14.2, so how is the 88 Saleen running a 15.4?

how the heck did the 4 wheel discs in the saleen stop further than the McLaren with drums?

Poor Man Mods Front brakes do 70% of the work, so upgrading the rears is a very negligible gain. But you don't get that fade/weakening that drums get from not being able to vent that heat.

aren't disk brakes supposed to be better than the drum breaks anyways?

Mainly in heat resistance and pedal response, surface area and brake pad compound are more important

+Gerald Perez must consider the disc pads, discs undoubetdly perform better than drums (in most cases) but if the disc pads were crappy then yes the drums could out perform. plus, depending on how many times they did the test, disc pads eventually give up when they get hot. there many factors with discs.

Stupid Comments ? Wow it was 1988 !! You could not touch these cars with some minor bolt on's . Unless you had a Buick Grand National . Corvette Camaro forget it . 1988 Lx Coupe 3200 lb home made ram air, under drive pulleys, 3;73 long tube headers & flowmasters ! 13.5 in the 1/4 . That's Buick GNX times. Still today the foxbody with mods is cleaning house !
