Mach 460, eh? lol

 

if both of these cars ran into each other doing 40 mph which would come out best? My moneys on the fox. No one cares about the drivers health so keep that in a volvo forum.

 

I loved my 1991 LX 5.0 hatch back..what a great car it was with the flowmasters, pulleys, etc. Oh to be 19-21 again!! My license plate read "55 HAHA"

 

@ the GB 5.0

 

By "ran into each other", do you mean crashed into each other???

From a 40 roll or standing start or whatever, a stock fox 5.0 would just be looking at the 2011's taillights as it walked it going down the road.

 

you have to be kidding me right? the weak rattle trap fox chasis. compared to the s-197/jag s type/ lincoln LS chasis that is the 2005+ stang. u r kidding right?

 

Sorry I love my foxies but NO it's not going to beat the 2011 from a roll or any other type of race.
I don't know who told you that flagstang lol

 

the same chassis that was used since 1979.....

 

LX looks way better than the GT (foxes).

 

i know. sn-95(fox4) was an improved version. the s-197 has nothing to do with the fox or fox4.

 

jimmy square box

 

oh yea, I wasn't disagreeing with you..LOL

 

That isn't what's in the S197.

 

Im talking head on wreck. pfft race what race

 

Considered a new platform by Ford Motor Company, D2C is loosely based on the Ford DEW platform which served as the basis for the Lincoln LS, Ford Thunderbird, and Jaguar S-Type. The 2005 S197 Mustang was originally designed to use a "Lite" version of the DEW98 platform, but while that plan was eventually scrapped as too expensive, most D2C platform development completed prior to that decision was retained. This led to the carryover of several DEW98 chassis components. These components include the floor pans, portions of the transmission tunnel, the front frame rails, and basic fuel tank design.

Differences between D2C and DEW98 are most noticeable in the suspension: The DEW98-based Lincoln LS uses a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension. The D2C platform's MacPherson strut front suspension and solid axle rear suspension are less expensive to produce than DEW's more complicated setup. D2C also shares components with other Ford platforms. These include Ford's global C1 platform, with which D2C shares front strut and rear trailing arm components.

 

Yep. Many people think it got the DEW98. It's as much a DEW98 as it is a Fox chassis.

 

OH hush! .

Ahh I miss our 92 LX notch. It shoulda been mine .

 

wrong again.

it has no components of a fox chasis. of course it has a different suspension from a LS/t-bird/s type, but most of the chasis is the same.

This led to the carryover of several DEW98 chassis components. These components include the floor pans, portions of the transmission tunnel, the front frame rails, and basic fuel tank design.


let see, that means the roofline, body, rear suspension mounting points, and a few other differences. that really doesnt make it very similar to a FOX.

my bad for not saying the suspension is different, and the mounting points are different. i assumed that when everyone already knows they are different i didnt need to. jeez.

 

im good man.
