1996 Mustang GT acceleration (6000ft elevation)

[Silvestris420]

4.6's are high torque, low RPM motors. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost positive that he would get more acceleration shifting at about 5,000 RPM and not redline in order to keep the car in it's peak torque curve. That's at least what I've noticed in my GT.

[wc3john]

@Silvestris420 high torque compared to what? certainly not the push-rod 5.0 your motor replaced lol. I went BACK to the pushrod because of my extremely anemic 97 4.6.

[003Mexicano]

hey what part of colorado r u from?

[MasterGuns666]

I have a 96 Mustang and my friend just got a 1999 TA WS6.. Man that car is mean, good choice my friend

[kirbienstien]

every car runs so slow at 6000ft. its crazy.

[cobraj7]

i have a 96 mustang gt with an auto tranny and in the differential tag it says 3L27 does this mean it has 3.27 gears?? did 96 mustangs come with 3.27 gears from factory

[TheDylan222222]

nice car check out mine i got a 1994 gt 5.0

[treyofour]

lol how the fuck does this video have 32 thousand view this shit is AWFUL

[tylersl14]

I want the 20 minutes of my life back that it took for me to watch this mustang hit 70mph

[wellshii]

its at 6000 goddamn ft ya loser

[tylersl14]

It's also a 96 mustang. You should look into getting the P.I. upgrade.

[tylersl14]

Nvm, I see you did that. Good choice though on the T.A.

[wellshii]

Whos you?my 3valve is fine

[huggie10100]

anybody have a guess how fast this car is? please reply

[BLoNdeBoMbSheLL91]

150, i think most go that

[Roger0416]

Kinda, I got 5.0 that is modded a bit and I've hit 150 MPH on it and believe me I get there quick

[mcneill467]

@Roger0416 modded a bit? those 94-95's are so slow they shouldnt be counted as a V8

[carcajouxx]

@huggie10100 : I have a 96 GT stock 100%, 5 speed, 2.73 rend and it makes 240 km/h (150 mph) top speed.

[dkill429]

@carcajouxx the 1996 gt has 3.08 gears stock.says it on the rear end tag on the rear end housing.I own a sn95 4.6L gt.they got the 3.08's.

[carcajouxx]

But mine has 2.73 stock from the factory...

[RooRBud]

Oh yeah, I like your Mustang. I like your video. And i understand the point of the video unlike most people.

oh and FYI my 6 banger lifted wj smoked a 6 banger 05-09 looking stang on vail pass haha get a real car.

[RooRBud]

The S197 is revolutionary in its own way, it is no longer a muscle car.

Harder to work on. Lots more computer controlled features and limiters.

My personal opinion is people are disapointed with the performance of S197 GT's in comparrison, so they feel the need to watch some SN95's and exagerate how badly they beat them.

Bring your Mustangs to Denver and lets race? Ill show you the marginal difference between my 97 and your 09.

[RooRBud]

90% of the comments for this video are wrong and pointless.

1st off: Why are you fighting over a new car vs. an old car?

2nd: 96-98 4.6 non- PI mustangs do produce the lowest factory power, but they have potential depending on what your plans are. For example, these engines run at a lower compression, which is benneficial if nitrous is in your future.

When the 94 mustang came out, it was revolutionary, the SN95 is hands down a better performance chassis then prior stangs.

[masenkoboy]

I gotta say I got a stock 3000gt non turbo and beat a stock mustang gt but you know im stil gettin rid of my car for a mustang , rather hear something that sounds kool like a v8 , althought I love that car rather have something a lil more comfortable, I mean if you want something to race with get a 03 cobra, but if u just want something that sounds good stick with a gt, spend about 15 thousand less lol

[isanynameavailable6]

I have yet to see a 96 GT on youtube that would even keep up with mine! YAY

procharger @12psi

K&N

all MSD ignition

flowmaster

bigger throtle body

different plenum

10.5 in rear tires

lowered 2 inches WHAT DID I MISS??

[ZPR88]

and u guys are dumbasses by the way 96 gt 260 hp 2005 300 hp 80's model 5.0s relly suck and the earlier 90s models are better but the 4.6l are so much faster off he line

[asrlb45]

Uh the 96-98 GT had 215 HP, The 99 4.6 got the PI heads then 260. The 87-92 5.0 is an awesome motor with forged pistons stock good for spray or boost. 93 had cast.

[asrlb45]

Correction on my part 98 4.6s are said to have 225 hp..

[ZPR88]

a 4.6l with 3.73 gears will beast a 5.0 my brother has a 94 gt with a 5.0 and i have a 96 gt and i blow him away

[02stang951]

ya sorry i ment 96 not 95

[02stang951]

sorry dude love stangs but 95-98 are the slowest mustangs, ive had a 95 gt with several boltons and lost to an 05 v6 now i have an 02 gt with similar boltons and its much faster

[UncleHumjaba]

95 had a 5.0 engine, 96-98 had a 4.6... a 5.0 can be made into a beast with just h/c/i. not so much with the 4.6.

[ulloaj]

would a 19984 mustang gt beat a automatic 1996 mustang gt

[JeepXtreme4x4]

I'm sure a Mustang GT from the future year of 19984 could beat a old 1996 model..

[bman993]

hahahaha yeah i agree with JeepXtreme4x4

[SOX3Cisco]

New gt's make 260rwhp PI gt's make 225rwhp your 96 should make 180rwhp??

[DaBluedude100]

wow this kids a retard... god i dont have the time to ask what he has for mods on it so ill lay down my numbers... i got a 96 stang GT in calgary alberta mi just as high as you... i run a high 13 second quarter mile... thats on 255/55 ZR g force sports on a good launch (which is tough because the tires aernt made for it )  im 260 to the wheeles (intake exhaust headers tune stage 1 cam injectors and fuel system... ) i pull even with the new GTs and pull past a bit but not much...

[fashizze]

But see i said race the cars from what they were from the factory both stock no mods the S197 Stang GT wins all the time against a 94-98stang gt with 215 crank hp and as for my mods i have a kenne bell supercharger and i also have a torque converter since my stangs automatic ive out run charger r/ts camaro z28s trans ams impala ss 07 monte carlo ss even a gto while on my way to work and on highways and back roads

[dyingwithamistress]

elevation makes a diff. I raced an 06 gt auto and dusted its ass in my 97, all i had was a k&n intake and a leaking manifold, New mustangs are crap

[fashizze]

race the car stock for stock and see if its crap you needed k/n air intake and whatever that other thing is no way in hell a stock 97 stangt 215 crank hp is gonna dust a stock S197 300 crank hp with 320 lbs feet of torque and you sure as hell couldnt dust me with my brand new kenne bell superchager my first bolt on was a k/n fipk air intake but that wasnt fast enough

[2Frankie2]

stfu you dont have a kenne bell

[fashizze]

lol do i sense jealousy here

[Fastgt2003]

Ya no shit he don't

[foxrox0617]

Ws6? Youve seen the light! haha

[ulloaj]

whats the shift point in 96 mustang gt auto?

[clmbbnd]

45 mph, and after 4.10's it goes to 35 mph.

[coryrhoades]

man your a f@#KIN retard... my 1996 stang eats up all the new mustangs.. and how could you even say that they are way faster... they are all 4.6 litre..and the new stangs are like driving a boat. heavy ass car...

[V3rzGTP]

The only ''new'' stangs you can beat are the V-6's. You are a fucking retard.

[fashizze]

your callin a fully stock 2005-2008 S197 Mustang GT a heavy ass car with 300 crank hp and 320 lbs feet of torque my 2006 Ford Mustang GT's curb weight is 3,450 pounds and did 0-60 in 5.4 seconds flat your an idiot a 96 stangs crank hp is 215 hp wooow thats alot thats means the rwhp is 180 something no 98 -94 stang gt has ever dusted me even when my S197 was fully stock ..now its boosted from 265 rwhp to 291 rwhp and has slp loudmouths your stang is primtive and has the same hop as a v6 S197

[loggerboy666]

New stangs are badass! but the new V6 is nothing compaired to the 96 GT... I Proved that one. I took one going up a decent grade beat it by a car lenght. the old GTs still have a fighting chance...until 2010.

[fashizze]

the 98-96 cobras are badass i know that much

[loggerboy666]

hell yes i want one but a convertible!

[coryrhoades]

bitch my 1996 gt.. bone stock makes 208 to the rear wheels...new injectors chip and small bs bolt ons its making 303 to the rear wheels.. i rape new stock mustangs...stock 05-07 stock gts dyno 232 to the wheels thats not very inpressive. with my new injectors i made more than that..

[fashizze]

On the contrary i dont know where the hell you got 05-08 S197 stock gt stangs having 232? rwhp you got it all fucked up a bone stock 05-08 gt puts out 265 at the rear wheels and even up to 270 are car with 320 lbs feet of torque doesnt put out 232 at the rear wheels plus a bone stock 05-08 stang gt does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds you probably raced standard v6 new model stangs lol 211 hp and thought they were gts dumbass no way in hell you could take me with my kenne bell supercharger ...tooo faaasst

[mynameismike65]

HAHA the most stupid shit I have heard! The non-PI 2V GTs are complete shit.....sorry. With full bolt ons you wouldnt even be CLOSE to 303 RWHP. If you did a PI swap and full bolt ons it would be a drivers race vs a stock 05+ GT. Like stated already stock 05+ GTs put down ~265 to the wheels and respond like crazy to bolt ons. You stock would make a good race for an 05+ V6......freaking youtube trolls.

[2Frankie2]

im sorry but with the pi swap and full bolt ons it would not be a drivers race the 05 gt would lose. i know because i have a 1996 gt with the pi swap being my only mod and i beat the 05 by a 1 to 1 1/2 car.

But i do agree with you about his mods and power.

[mynameismike65]

I have a hard time believing a GT with only a PI swap would beat a 3v mustang. Either he wasnt racing or he was a really bad driver.

[2Frankie2]

i would say im an above average driver and he was an automatic and also he is a friend of mine so i know he was racing. some cars are factory freaks i guess mine is one of those.

[braddfordy]

not talking shit but ur reaching on that one dude with just the pi swap and ur taking a newer gt it could happen i guess i havent seen it yet

[2Frankie2]

my bad i keep forgetting about the long tube headers i have but that is all thats done to it. the new gt is really not that fast.

[braddfordy]

ok every little bit helps i had a 97 gt and i was getting slapped around by 99 gts that was a long time ago now i got a 04 cobra now slapping asses now lol

[zackomac]

As in the 08 gt? yeah it's as fast if not quicker than a 96-98 Cobra. Any GT between 94-04 couldn't hold a candle to it.

[V3rzGTP]

These stangs don't have 260. They have about 215-225.

[lozantus82]

I know i was refering to the 99-04 POS LOL

the video right here is 215-225 POS edition

[clmbbnd]

My car now runs 15.01 up here in co at 6000 ft, and at sea leval that is 13's dude.

[V3rzGTP]

My GTP runs 12's here at 2,000 ft with less mods than your stang :)

[3800GTV6]

I live in Colorado, I'd race you anyday 15.01? Like thats good?

[V3rzGTP]

I honestly think i could beat this car on my bike...bahahahaha

[lozantus82]

LOL! think even a ricer honda or V6 Camaro will kick its ass

[clmbbnd]

lol yeah because at this elevation those cars run high 19's

[clmbbnd]

lol its funny everyone talks so much crap but they dont understand that at this elevation you can go ahead an add 1.5 seconds to your time on N/A cars. On forced induction cars it still .5 seconds.

[plane45036]

Your a fucking idiot please drink bleach and end yourself now kid. Your a ricer nobody gives a fuck what elavation its still a 15 second car at 6,000 below sea level.

[V3rzGTP]

fell asleep...woke up at 60

[clmbbnd]

I just added a Drogon 75mm throttle body and plenum and a JLT CAI instead of my RAI and Bassani X-pipe and catback. next month im getting pullies installed and a dyno tune and ill make another vid.

[FiredUpZ28]

fell asleep... woke up at 60.

[fashizze]

those stang gts 94 through 98 were like 215 hp or something not muscle car material same goes for the 99-04 gts unmodded were 265 hp the 05 gt and up finally has it right 300 hp pure american muscle my 06 stang gt was modded to 325hp before i bought it at a dealership i'm gonna mod it up higher to 350hp

[zacharyt1122]

How do you figure that the 99-04 gts were not muscle car material? They ran faster than many of the old school big blocks. They could take the quarter in about 14.0 seconds stock, and took to mods nice. Plus, they are a few hundred pounds lighter than the 05-up, so making power on them made it to the ground easier.

[fashizze]

the S197 body style stang are not as heavy as you think a coupe gt is 3000 something

[zacharyt1122]

2005 GT is 3518 lbs, and the 1999 gt is 3273, making the 05 275 lbs heavier than the 99-04. I'm not putting down the 05, but they are kinda heavy, especially the GT500, which is near 4000 lbs.

[1998232v6]

1994-1995's(with the 5.0L) are alot fater than the1996-1998 because they had better heads...it you get better heads on the 1996-1998(like the ones on the 1999-2004) they fly.

[fashizze]

What I dont get is why did ford reduced 5.0 liters to 4.6 in 96-08 stang GTs thats odd could have at least went up in liters for the 99 to 08 stang gts especially the 05-08 gts which weigh more and has 300hp could have at least been 5.1

[Energonorama]

Do you live in the clouds?

[clmbbnd]

lol no, but N/A cars lose %4 of there power every 1000 ft. So up here i lose %24 of my power.

[Energonorama]

I see. Maybe we should drive really fast underground?

[clmbbnd]

Thanks for all the comments guy's! And she's gotten alot quicker now. I have FRPP PI heads, FRPP 4.10's, BBK shorty headers, JLT Short Ram Intake, And an Xcal 2 tuned by Doug at Bamachips! i know it wasnt very quick and that the 96-98 GT's wernt anything special but you have to understand what this elevation does to cars. Like stock LS1's run low to mid 14's hell i have even seen them run high 14's. Not man people understand what high elevation does to NA cars

[Minato2003]

I know what you mean!! I live at 5700 feet, and travel to 3000 feet in the summer, huge difference, i can only imagine the power at sea level! Any vids with all the new mods?

[clmbbnd]

I bet the differance is amazing at sea level! And not yet i will get one put up pretty soon though! And it will be better quality.

[tiedie2]

Get a PI intake manifold also and you'll be good

[XuleGua]

nice

[jaydoggrollin]

ONE THING THOUGH,WHITE FACE GAUGES!!

[jaydoggrollin]

96 to 98 mustangs r not the worst ever made.they r no diferent than the 99 and up except for not having the p.i.heads.just do a head swap which aint that hard

[MustangAficionado]

OHC>OHV

[psychoholiday]

In engineering yes, but in cost efficiency, FUCK NO... I'd love to see you build a 500hp N/A OHC motor for cheaper than a 500hp N/A OHV...

[MustangAficionado]

Ok cost yes, 5.0 and other carb'd block's parts are often cheap as dirt(talking price here, not quality). But how about fuel delivery effciency, timing efficiency, duration effciency, and tunability concerning a reliable 500hp+ ride. All these have been perfected on the FI OHC block. Ask to see a 650hp 4V stang and i'll show you a street legal daily driver. While an OHC 650hp beast is often a trailer queen.

[accordv6er]

it sounds like an auto. : ) ?? or... really good shifting

[juniortheredneck]

I've got a 96' modded to hell it's good for the money i have now til i get ws6 or something but lol yaah stock they aren't really to great

[napalm84]

great vid, have you smoked anyone when it was stock?
