I had a 5.0L and a 2.3L turbo fox bodies
The new stangs are just so heavy. They maybe light by modern car standards ( like our cars ), but 3550lbs is heavy in my car world.
The 1990 fox coupe could weigh 2800lbs with an iron V8 block, iron V8 heads, iron rearend and steel body. While a 2014 fiesta has a tiny 4cylinder motor with alum block, alum heads, trans axle, and plastic everything, lol. Yet the fiesta is only 50lbs light? I thought with time we'd be moving forward, not backwards. That's why a modern driveline is so bad ass in old cars.
New mustangs have been so fast because the new 5.0L is that awesome.
My 2.3L turbo mustang had iron head, iron block and it weighed 2350lbs !!
